  • Brush: Brad Sears Arley 26mm Super Badger

  • Razor: Dubl Duck Pearl Duck 6/8 Full Hollow

  • Lather: Le Père Lucien - Narcisse - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

  • Aftershave: Combe Inc. - Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue - Aftershave

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.


Today's BVWSC used Le Père Lucien Narcisse. The scent notes of this soap are: bright jasmine, bergamot, warm tobacco, vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss. I liked it. I'm seasonal in my scents, so this one fits better in the spring for me than fall. Nonetheless, like many European soaps, the soap quality was very good, scent strength was medium, and the scent itself seemed sophisticated.

Thanks to @[email protected] for this one!
