  I forgot to post yesterday’s shave, but using the same setup again was an absolute pleasure.

  This was a Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club shave, and our soap was Australian Private Reserve Raconteur. I have wanted to try this soap ever since I read the scent notes:

  Roast Arabica Coffee, Whisky, Tuberose, Cedarwood, Spice, Labdanum, Leather, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, Castoreum, Civet and Animal Musk.

  I’m a huge fan of all the scent notes in there that I recognize. Unfortunately, I got into the hobby after APR went out of business so I have not had a chance to get my hands on this until now. Absolutely terrific! Thanks to @walden@sub.wetshaving.social for providing the smush for this shave!
