For today's BVWSC shave, the selection was LPL Narcisse, generously provided by @[email protected] . From the scent notes, I already had high expectations, and the actual scent is better than I expected. Despite some scent notes that can usually overpower a fragrance, Narcisse is subtle, well-balanced, and beautifully executed.
I'm disappointed that I've slept on LPL soaps until now because the lather is excellent. I will definitely be exploring Narcisse and their other scents more in the future.
Oaken Labs' Sanctum had a very similar vibe to Narcisse, but the Jasmine is much more prominent. MO Sun Soaked incorporated the narcissus from the soap and offered a great overall finish.
I wouldn't recommend shaving with the R41 when in a hurry. I nicked my Adam's Apple, but I managed a smooth shave in record time nonetheless.
