Wednesday, September 18, 2024: Buena Vista!
- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
- Razor: Ertan Süer L’Ours Russe (7/8th)
- Lather: MacDuffs Old Strathcona
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Pitralon Classic After Shave
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
Yesterday, my sense of smell was developed as ever – but unfortunately, everyone in my family is getting ill, and my nose is completely stuffed. So, I only got a general sense of good smell out of the soap (but I’m looking forward to retry it once I’ve fully recovered) – I will not commit to anise or not anise.
The base is really good, and produces a creamy lather without much effort. I’m happy to have tried this, and my intent of focusing my aquisitions on European shaving soaps is wavering. Well done for suggesting this, @[email protected], and thanks for the generous smush!
Anyways, have a good evening!
Thursday, September 19, 2024: Narcisse + Stank
After yesterday’s September BVWSC shave, this was a preview for October’s. Narcisse is very nice, but after getting rid of my bottle of Floid, I’m missing a neutral, fits-with-everything aftershave. Maybe I’ll try the stuff @[email protected] uses.
The Epsilon is to my mind much more stanky than good old Tabac – it feels like opening a hermetically sealed box of your grandfather. It has its charm, but I haven’t aquired this aquired taste yet.
Have a good evening!
