I almost went with Koké today. How did Cerberus pair with it?

I received your sample of Narcisse. It smells incredible, and I can't wait to try it.

Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the scent.

Sep 18, 2024 - BVWSC - Old Strathcona

• Brush: Craving Shaving Blue Bronze 26mm Crave Synthentic Knot
• Razor: Mühle Rocca R94
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [5]
• Lather: MacDuffs Soap Company - Old Strathcona - Soap
• Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Druantia - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Gothique - Eau de Parfum

Today's BVWSC shave was with the selection of Old Strathcona. It's a unique take on a barbershop/fougère scent with rosewood substituting for lavender and the addition of aromatic tree moss and earthy mushroom absolute.

The feedback of the Rocca was satisfying, and almost as good as a GEM razor. Druantia and Fougère Gothique complemented the shave with their mushroom accords.

That's the one

Sep 17, 2024 - Tea Tuesday - Silk Roads

• Brush: Chisel & Hound Fu Dao Flare 26mm v20 Fanchurian Badger Knot
• Razor: Mühle Rocca R94

• Lather: Noble Otter - 茉莉綠茶 (Jasmine Green Tea) - Soap
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - Queen - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Gentleman’s Nod - Musashi - Eau de Parfum

Tea was one of the many commodities traded along the Silk Routes between the East and the West. Green tea, jasmine, and tonka bean in combination with the royal aroma of sweet honey, floral marigolds, and fragrant jasmine were an excellent pairing.

Sidama and Eau Intense Vetiver did not pair as well as I had hoped. I should have gone with Rumble.

I just wanted to make sure that @[email protected], @[email protected], and @[email protected] received one as well. I can't remember if you already sent me something.
