Cool Monday
Today was my first use of B-M Reserve Cool soap. The scent matches the splash perfectly and is stronger to my nose. The lather is extremely thick and effective. I like it, and it provides plenty of residual slickness and a nice post shave feel. I'll have to use it more to decide if it's better than the glissant base, but it sure gets the job done. I want to try it with my other brushes, too. I realized I forgot to get more Cool splash, and this bottle is done. I also used CL Champes de Lavande for the first time, and it is truly excellent.
