Creepy soap art, but that brush handle and knot pairing are great!

+1 on the creepy label art.  I took a pass on Passiflora, despite my liking for B&M in general and  Omnibus in particular.  That said, and FWIW, I really like the photo and Passiflora's part within it.  To my eyes at least, the photo is a very appealing composition, and the label works beautifully within the composition, echoing the black, white, and grays, and adding both movement and a bright splash of color.

Thanks guys and I get the creepy label art which isn't my thing but after reading Will's goal with the scent I chose to view it differently. Here's his thoughts:
Barrister and Mann Passiflora Shaving Soap is a limited edition production that aims to break the stereotype that fruity fragrances are not manly enough for wet shaving. The soap is an elegant, sophisticated, and spicy fougère fragrance that combines the green soapiness of galbanum oil with cinnamon, bergamot, rose, geranium, lavender, and tonka bean. The fragrance is topped off with a tangy, slightly acidic passion fruit accord that gives it a distinguished and modern edge. Passiflora is a scent that challenges the status quo and shows that fruit can indeed be manly.

So I took it as the fruit was dripping at the heart of his inspiration to make it manly. Anyway, that's how I wrapped my mind around it after it was gifted to me and it was a somewhat "rose" scent I could live with.

MaineYooper The brush pairing and knot are original so paired well unless you meant pairing with the other shaving gear. Got the 3 Stirling brushes recently on BST (Badger, Boar and Synthetic) so I wouldn't have to reknot the one from Mike and Paul perhaps. May even repif that one now. Have a great day guys !

Thanks, I'll give the knot time to stop being a lather hog but if it doesn't shape up after a decent period of time it'll get replaced with a synthetic. It's plenty soft enough and this was a spare premium Maggards Boar that I got when I like the other one but it was very selfish with the lather.
