Seville Shaving Soap
Everyone has a different idea of what a barbershop ought to smell like, but we tend to lean historically for this kind of stuff. Giovanni Maria Farina famously created the very first Eau de Cologne in the early 1700s, and it was an instant success. His formula was prized by the royal courts, and was so highly regarded that it's still in production today. As a result of this popularity, Eau de Cologne fragrances have been staples in European barbershops for well over a hundred years.
While we don't claim to be as gifted as Signor Farina, our Seville scent is definitely in a class all its own. Affectionately dubbed "God's barbershop" by some of our more poetic customers, Seville is a blend of lemon, bergamot, rosemary, lavender, patchouli, and oakmoss. The name comes from the famous opera The Barber of Seville, but the scent is at home anywhere. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed.
Net wt. 4 oz, Made in the USA
Customers praised this shaving soap for its "best barbershop scent" and exceptional lather that "produces the slickest" results. The soap creates thick, cushiony foam with excellent glide and leaves skin feeling soft. Reviewers noted it works well for sensitive skin with no irritation. A few mentioned the scent is subtle or common, though overwhelmingly positive.
So, I will give you my honest opinion. This is a complex soap chemically. Lots of stuff going on. It is incredible. And normally I buy unscented soaps but he nailed this one. And for the price? Insane. This SV quality soap, the only two you need.
This is an outstanding base with an excellent fragrance. Slick, protective and excellent post-shave. This is my first product from Will and its amazing. Henson +++ with Wizamet blades.
It's already been said everywhere, but it's true - this is the greatest smelling, shaving, and lathering soap I've ever used.
I left some in the cup and when I went back into the bathroom I had my olfactories knocked out with admiration.
They can't keep the stuff in stock at all. I tried another brand and it's nice but not the same. I'm obsessed now and waiting to get the balm and splash.

Heavenly barbershop scent!
Wonderful product with a great scent. Got a fantastic shave with this soap.
I’m pretty sure every wet-shaver out there has heard about B&M Seville shave soap being one of (if not) the best barbershop scented shave soap on the planet & I have to concur. 🙂
Addicting scent, lovely, and italo as well.Impressive.
Best barbershop scent from anywhere. Thick thirsty lather that provides excellent cushion and glide.
Unbelievable. Biggest fan!Days I don’t shave I still lather because this product is the best!
Nice soap, love the scent. Lathers well and is a great daily routine. Great products
If you've been contemplating of purchasing this scent don't wait any longer! Everything about this shave soap is excellent, from the scent to the lather! You'll want to shave everyday.
Smells great and works great. I will buy it again.
I dont usually write reviews but my love for this shaving soap is strong enough that I just have to.
I bought my first shaving brush a while back and was looking for a good "forever" shaving soap to go with it. I found what I was looking for. Was initially expecting it to be a loose puck in the container instead of molded in but that was just my initially poor understanding talking and has barely had an effect on my experience.
The Smell.
I am a very picky guy when it comes to scents and I can firmly say that I have zero complaints. Seville is a "non-chemically" scent which sounds like a low bar but enough others have failed to rise above that it needs to be said. The scent is pleasant and makes me feel nostalgic but not know what for. The words classic, old-timey, and barbershop come to mind.
The Shave
For context I use a Henson AL13.
I cant compare it to other shaving soaps as this is admittedly my first (and likely only one after such a positive experience) but probably the best shaves I have ever had came with this soap. After getting my fancy reusable razor I was finding my old can of Barbasol didnt do the job anymore so I wanted to go old fashioned. Since switching to shaving soap I have had nothing but smooth shaves, no cuts, & no razor burn.
On a side note I want to send thanks to the man the myth and the legend Will Carius himself for helping me out with a shipping issue I had.

Great base, fantastic scent smells likea
Mix between orange peel and hermes equipage edt. Leave skin soft and the aftershave in invredibly effective and elegant
Phenomenal shave, incredible lather, fresh smell. What more can you ask for in a shaving soap? Incredibly pleased!
The scent is really good but I give it a four out of five because it is a scent that everyone likes and all to common. Actually a 4.6 because it is really good and understandably a Barrister and Mann favorite.
I have it and use it often, but so common. A winner because it is a winning combination made for everyone.
Excellent soap as always. BM soaps are amazing and this one is just as good as their others
i just shaved with the Seville shave soap this week and like the other Barrister and Mann it was a pleasure to use and I enjoyed the Seville scent
Outstanding. My new favorite barbershop scent.
Incredible, singular aroma, thick lather and a luxurious shave. It makes my mornings a special treat, and the fragrance lasts all day as a reminder. This is B+M best soap on hand.
This fragrance evokes the distinct aroma of a barber’s shop. It’s a delicate yet noticeable scent that makes shaving a delightful experience.
This is my first time using Seville shaving soap. I fully recommend this shave soap if you like a classy masculine scent.
This stuff smells amazing and produces the slickest lather. Be advised that this stuff can take more water than you think. Once you get the ratios down It is truly the best. I will always have Seville in rotation. Thank you Will for the top-notch customer service!
I'm a relativity new adherent to shaving soap, and Seville might be the peak (at least until they reissue Melange, hint hint nudge nudge). It's just so nice to smell good in the morning, it foams up nice once you learn how to use it, and it lasts a long time! I shave my head, and the last time I bought soap was 2023, so it's an amazing value.
This was my second time purchasing the Seville shave soap, I first ordered it at least 5 years ago and I still have the container. This batch has more of a citrus scent than the other one which isn’t a bad thing. I occasionally open the old container and can still smell that wonderful fragrance. I will be sampling others soon you can’t miss with Barrister and Mann
Extremely satisfied first time customer
I've owned four tubs of this soap so far. It will always hold a place in my den
First shaving soap, significantly better than shaving cream. Recommend building the lather on your face.
Very enjoyable
Great scent, great performance
Great soap with a fantastic scent. I love how all of the notes blend together in this one.
