Excellent scents all around! This was a very enjoyable BVWSC shave from a new-to-me artisan, generously provided by @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social.
Los Jabones de Joserra Noir is the clean-shaven, dapper, three-piece suit wearing, quietly aloof, socialite brother of the Carhartt-wearing, shaggy-haired, unruly-bearded, wilderness-loving, overly affectionate brother that is Dirtyver.
Suffice it to say that Dirtyver overpowered LJdJ’s Noir, but Noir is an easy to use, well crafted scent that I’m now very tempted to introduce to my den.

I have a hard time with Indigo as well. Everyone else loves the scent when I wear it, but I can’t help but think there’s parts of the scent that I’m missing out on. Some days I think I can pick up the scent better than others.

Dec 26, 2024 - Serious Moonlight
- Brush: Chisel & Hound Foundry 26mm Declaration Grooming B16 Badger Knot
- Razor: Blackland Razors Blackbird Ti
- Blade: Gillette Platinum [14]
- Lather: Oaken Lab - Serious Moonlight - Soap
- Post Shave: Oaken Lab - Serious Moonlight - Splash
Oaken Lab’s Serious Moonlight is a truly unique and unforgettable fragrance.
The scent opens with a burst of citrus and black tea, which is followed by the dominant heart of the fragrance, night jasmine and wood. It creates an almost sensual atmosphere. The base notes of Indonesian oud, vanilla, leather, and asphalt add to the complexity and intrigue.
The pillowy B16 knot created a luxurious lather from the Oaken Lab base, and the Blackbird Ti provided a phenomenally close shave with zero irritation.

Dec 18, 2024 - BVWSC - End of the Year Edition
- Brush: The Razor Company Cream Soda Acrylic 28mm Synthentic Knot
- Razor: Aylsworth Razors Drakkant Ti
- Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [6]
- Lather: House of Mammoth - You & I (Will Die) - Soap
- Post Shave: House of Mammoth - You & I (Will Die) - Splash
- Fragrance: Lalique - Encre Noire A L’Extreme - Eau de Parfum
Today’s soap, You & I (Will Die), was generously provided by @walden@sub.wetshaving.social. I had already ordered the splash from Anticatura in anticipation of today’s BVWSC shave.
This unfortunately named scent opens with airy and light florals, but none of the darker, smokey notes presented themselves. It is still an enjoyable scent, but the marketing does it no favors.
Missing the darker tone of the scent, I opted for the heady and earthy Encre Noir A L’Extreme.
