Yes, very good. Batters Up++, although I still say it’s grammatically incorrect.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
The SV soaps are really wonderful. I don’t know how to describe the scent of Cubebe, but it has that Italian signature to it. Absolutely refrehing and perfectly suited for a hot summer’s day.
Today, I tried my second of four stainless steel razors. Like yesterday’s stainless shave, this one was excellent. Again, I could easily use this razor for all of August.
I think the ring of death will start forming any day now.

I’ve started thinking about the gear for tomorrows BVWSC shave. No firm opinions so far. But I’ve taken an antihistamine pill, and hope for the best.
Have a good night!

The scent notes for Roam Two (2.0) are listed as Tobacco, Grass, Soil, Thyme, Sage, Leather, Coffee, Pink Pepper, Juniper, Cypriol, Ginger, Musk, and Black Currant. It opened bright and tangy, but it didn’t last long. There were hints of tobacco and leather, but not much more. The scent overall didn’t live up to the hype of the original Roam, but I have no basis for comparison with the original.
Lonestar also starts with a similar bright, tanginess, but it opens up in a completely different way, making it a very enjoyable scent.

Thanks for your comments on Roam Two. I have too many BaM soaps already and just wasn’t drawn to this one. The last BaM soap I purchased was Marilyn which I didn’t “get” until I bought the fragrance. Now, I’m happy to have it.

I’ve heard this before about Marilyn. The soap sample I had was okay, but it didn’t speak to me either. I might have to try getting a hold of the fragrance…

The first association my mind made when I opened a tub of NO Lonestar was, strangely, marzipan. Not the overly sweet ones like it’s with Cella, but the darker kind often found in very expensive candy stores. Similar to how I expected a very masculine scent from B&M Le Grand Chypre and my nose instantly went “yup, that’s cola with lime” . Sadly that’s why I can’t use Lonestar in any other season than winter…
