DFS Soap

I just received that distinctive Barrister & Mann package in my mailbox.  It contained the DFS soap and the Cologne Russe soap.  Outstanding on both counts.  I will shave with the DFS in the morning.  I also just placed an order with B&M for the DFS aftershave which I hadn't previously ordered when ordering the soap due to obscure customs rules or some such bureaucratic nonsense that preclude US vendors from shipping alcohol based aftershaves to Canada.  All is not lost, however, as my wife reminded me that she will be visiting her aunt the third week of October and I could have the aftershave shipped there and then she would be my aftershave mule and bring it back to Canada when she returns.  I didn't marry this women only for her looks obviously.  So I should have the DFS aftershave by the end of the month.  And a B&M Diamond T-shirt as well.  Go big or go home.

I forgot to mention the aunt lives in California.  It all works out when you have people on the inside.

We have a few top notch Canadian vendors that stock a schwack of alcohol based aftershaves....Italian Barber, Fendrihan and MensEssentials come to mind. It's actually more of the independent Artisan stuff we have a difficult time sourcing.

But I've also had to do the "drop ship" to the border and pick up on road trip trick, on more then one occasion.

All evidence has been buried. All tapes have been erased.

Update - I used the DFS soap this morning and it was very nice. Excellent performance I've come to expect from all Barrister & Mann soaps and the smell was really nice fall scent of apples and all those fall spices that I love at this time of year. Thanks DFS and Thanks Will/B&M.

If you're like me and don't like alcohol based aftershaves, I suggest Sterling Soap's "Hot Apple Cider" witch hazel and aloe aftershave balm as the perfect compliment to the DFS soap.

"Apples, cinnamon, and clove make for a perfect ending to your shave as the weather turns cool and the trees turn."

It's also the perfect ending for a shave with the DFS soap.


I agree with those that find the DFS soap scent matched with this time of year.
