  Thursday, September 19, 2024: Narcisse + Stank

  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
  • Razor: River Razors Kamisori
  • Lather: Le Père Lucien Narcisse
  • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
  • Postshave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
  • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

  ---

  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 @WegianWarrior@sub.wetshaving.social 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!

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

  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Diamond - Soap
  • Post Shave: Spearhead - Seaforth! Heather - Toner
  • Post Shave: allMan - Refined - Balm

  Was scooping a smush out of this tub for someone on Discord. Being within reach made it the obvious choice to use today. Soft Heart is probably my least favorite B&M base, but I still love it. It’s just a little too poofy for my refined taste. Very slick, though.

  Today is Theme Thursday over on the other place, and we giving a nod to NZ Suffragette Day (Shave with a a product considered to have a more feminine scent, e.g. florals. BONUS if you shave with a product made in New Zealand.)

  I don’t have anything made in New Zealand. Koké could totally be a feminine scent though, and it has a Polynesian theme going, and I believe New Zealand is a part of Polynesia.

  Delightful shave with great šmells.

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

    • djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      They have a very similar mood without being all that similar in scent notes. It works really well together IMO

  September 19, 2024

  • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

  • Razor: Thiers Issard Le Transatlantic 7/8" Full Hollow Round Point

  • Lather: WestMan Shaving - Alma - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: WestMan Shaving - Alma - Aftershave Balm

  2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

  I think Alma fits the bill for today’s theme. It’s main notes are Rose and Passion Fruit, and this would be a very feminine scent were it not for the musk that is blended into the fragrance. This is very cleverly done. Soaps from WestMan are first class.
