Figarose is a nice scent, but I think it gives my face a little tingle. I’ll have to try it again when I’m not shaving twice a day.

For today's meeting of BVWSC we're shaving with Fanzine Caravaggio. This is not new to me, as I bought a tub in the initial release. It's a soap I always enjoy shaving with.
Killer scent, excellent lather, what's not to like?
It's been about a month since I used my CF Legacy as well. This things gives me such a close shave, especially with Lab Blue blades. Such a killer razor!

The ring of death continues to grow in this tub. Quite a nice combination with TINAT.
Ubrique hardly fits, but it's a damn good scent nonetheless.

You’re not the first person who’s said they smell a burnt rubber in VoA, which is interesting to me. I get a bit of rubber for sure, but much more of the bright citrus notes. Funny how different noses work!

I believe shoat refers to a young pig that’s recently been weaned. I can’t say that I notice a huge difference compared with my other boar knots. If anything, the hairs are a bit thinner, but it’s hard to say.

I’m still not convinced that a slant does anything special, but damn did this give me a fine shave.

Close, comfortable shave. I could probably push this blade further, but there’s no need.
Steady is another fragrance that gives my face a bit of a tingle, especially the splash. I think it might be the cedar. I’m a big fan of the scent, so I’m very much on the fence as to whether I should move this one along.

Arko is worth trying at least once, imo. It’s relatively good cheap soap with pretty great slickness.

A really nice shave this morning with some pleasant scents. FdF was a little tingly on my face this morning, I hope I'm not developing a sensitivity to it.
Almost to the weekend!
