Bon Monsieur is one of those top shelf soaps that I could settle in and use for an extended period of time. Both the base and the scent are just fantastic. As you can see on the sales page, it includes notes of lavender, bergamot, fir balsam, geranium, oakmoss, carnation, lily of the valley, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, and musk. 11 notes! Some people have likened it to Drakkar Noir, but I think it's deeper and more complex with less of a sweet "mall cologne" vibe.
For the challenge, loading, lathering, and shaving with my left hand was certainly awkward, but not really all that difficult. Pretty decent finish since I haven't done this since the last Lather Games off hand challenge.
