I don't think Leviathan is being produced by Barrister and Mann any longer. They show the aftershave and a hand soap but no EDT or shave soap. Full measure of man is still available.
Brick/mortor or online?

Mostly I buy online now. There used to be some great local stores but over the years they've moved online or closed as the owners retired and no one took over or opened something new.
There's still outlets locally that sell some nice things but it's kind of scattered in terms of what they carry, as they tend to be less focused on shaving and personal care products in particular. They seem like they're trying but also like they don't know what's out there as it's not their priority.
As I'm typing this I'm remembering some local stores I should try again that I haven't been to in a couple of years, to see what's there.

Where are you located?
It is a seasonal release. Comes out in the fall if it comes out at all. It has for the last few years. I used my second tub up last December.

No such thing as brick and mortar near me, so, I read copious reviews on B&B and proceed accordingly. So far, the only failure was the Game Changer. What an awful razor for me.

I try to buy locally as much as I can. For soaps and creams I usually only use a selection of 3 to 5 products that are locally available.
The rest I buy online but I have had some bad luck with purchases from small vendors. Things didn't arrive. A 'new' brush that was clearly used. That sort of thing.
These days if I buy online, I buy only from the big river. They offer the best return policy and never ask questions and pay me back my money fast if I'm not pleased.

I feel your pain as do others. I wish i could smell them all. Unless youre driving distance from mid town Manahttan you'll either have to scrounge for samples or blind buy soaps. There are some great people on this board that will also share samples if you share an interest in a particular brand. Willy nilly smelling various tubs is difficult to do unless you make the trip to Pasteur.
