For the April installment of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club, we are shaving with Areffa Soap’s Phantom of Kyiv. This is an artisan soapmaker from Ukraine. Very creamy lather and a decent, mild scent.
I’ve also enjoyed their scents The Blackest Night (a dark, woody fougère) and The Discoverer from the samples I’ve tried.

- Lather: Catie’s Bubbles - DFTR - Soap

- Fragrance: First Line Shaving/Black Mountain Shaving - Sutton Distilled - Eau de Parfum
Well, TSF had a good run, making it to the final four as the underdog. Can’t go wrong with the remaining three, since all have top tier soap bases and scents that are community favorites.
Speaking of favorite scents, I gave CB DFTR a try this morning. It reminds me of a more mellow Arcane Abyss, which I unfortunately cannot wear anymore because it gives me headaches.
I guess I’m slightly on theme today as there is a boozy note in DFTR, and I wrapped up the shave with Sutton Distilled, which is definitely on theme.

Wallflower is a new scent to me from TSF that I picked up during their recent sale. It has a light, very pleasant aroma, somewhat reminiscent of Lonestar.
I also used the new brush sent to me by u/Priusaurus and it’s absolutely gorgeous.
