Oct 17, 2024 - Theme Thursday - London Beer Flood

• Brush: Trotter Handcrafts Daliesque 26mm Manchurian T1 Badger Knot
• Razor: Aylsworth Razors Drakkant Ti Plus
• Blade: Gillette Platinum [1]
• Lather: Zingari Man - The Brewer - Soap
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Brewer - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)

Instead of beer in the base ingredient list, i opted for beer in the scent "ingredients."

Personally, I'm not an IPA drinker, but I appreciate what Heather has done with The Brewer. It captures a Tropical IPA in all its hoppy glory.

I highly recommend it

Oct 16, 2024 - Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club

• Brush: Highlander Brushes Jade 26mm Cashmere Synthentic Knot
• Razor: Mühle R41
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [26]
• Lather: Le Père Lucien - Narcisse - Soap
• Post Shave: Oaken Lab - Sanctum - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
• Fragrance: Maher Olfactive - Sun Soaked - Eau de Parfum

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.
