For this month’s meeting of the BVWSC we shaved with APR Raconteur. This is my first use of this soap, and I really enjoyed it. It’s definitely in the neighborhood of Midnight Stag, but is a more subtle and warm leather. Nowhere near as sharp to my nose.

As much as I enjoy it, I’m sure this scent would earn a veto from Mrs. snoot. Thanks, walden, for sending smushes for us all this month!
