It is the 3rd Wednesday of the month, and it is BVWSC! Unfortunately, I have been struggling with a long cold, which leaves my olfactory capacities strongly diminished. I could identify some faint leather scent, but other than this, I’m not in the best shape to pronounce myself on odors. I’ll have to revisit this soap once I’m better.
Otherwise, the Stirling base was good as always, easy to lather, and providing a good shave.
Have a good day!

I’ll have to impersonate some less powerful member to get lavanille elected.
You should try corruption first (in exchange for your Böker 14, I would definitely consider voting for Lavanille)

There’s a requirement for signing in with your google or facebook id - which should be safe enough, but will require new mail addresses (unless you’re hahhy to doxx yourself)

Excellent shave with the Thiers-Issard, even though there was some slight irritation late in the shave (maybe a slight reaction to the soap?).
Have a good evening!

I somehow f-ed up the first pass - the lather was not slick at all, and not protective. I took refuge in MOAR SOAP MOAR WATER, and the rest worked better. The after-shave face feel with Ishtar is always very good, and same today. Next week, I will go back to the more exciting razors.
Have a good evening!

Apparently I had some pent-up complaints that needed airing 😅
Festivus season is nearly upon us, with its airing of grievances
If you’re interested in experiencing just how shite this brush is, I’d be happy to loan it to you before the exorcism.
That’s really kind of you, but after some reflection, I think I’ll pass on this one

No complaints about the brush today? Have you attained th acceptance-stage?
- Comment on Wednesday SOTD Thread - November 13th, 2024 (#521) 1 week ago:
I can’t compare the same razor in zamac and stailess, but the Greencult has a drag that none of my other razors have, and my Karve also drags a bit. Maybe some polishing would heh 🤷
- Comment on Wednesday SOTD Thread - November 13th, 2024 (#521) 1 week ago:
I don’t have much experience with stainless steel or brass razors, but I find that chrome-plated razors slide better on the skin.
But then, you can chrome-plate stainless steel or brass just as well as zamac 🙄

I see you upgraded - buttons in the web interface are no longer in the same places 🙃

The Flying Wing is maybe not the best GEM razor, but definitely the prettiest. And brutal burn with Marmara Barber.
Have a good evening!

Since @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social used his entire collection of R41s today, I felt compelled to follow suit: I shaved with every R41 that I own (n=1).
I’m a bit under the weather since yesterday, and nauseous from time to time. Hope that this gets better soon.
Have a good evening!

Good shave, but I still have a slight tingle on my face. There are maybe 2 or 3 shaves still left on the sample.
Have a good evening!

The stank of Blue Mediterranean does not pair well with the dark, but decidedly unstanky Watchman. And very nice shave with the Star, always a win.

Wednesday, November 6, 2024: Et in Arcadia ego
- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
- Razor: Mühle R41 (3-piece)
- Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (21)
- Lather: Stirling Arcadia
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Terre d’Hermès After Shave Lotion
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
Second shave with a DE in a row – this time with better results. I could have made more effort in the chin area, but overall, satisfying closeness.
I checked yesterday, and Arcadia is a soap that I have had since 2022, and on which I haven’t made much progress (just like with Spiced). Only Le Grand Chypre has been longer in my den, but I expect to kill LGC next year. Arcadia and Spiced, on the other hand, I’m afraid that I will have to mention in my testament…
<rant>
Finally, cursed be the person who designed the Terre d’Hermès after shave bottle 🌩️🌩️🌩️. How difficult can it be? Literally everyone else gets it right – but Terre d’Hermès manages to have such a ridiculously short neck that it’s impossible to dose correctly.
</rant>
Have a good evening!

I generally like Rogue Perfumery (at least the 4 scents I have tried) – and somehow, I prefer Bon Monsieur over Mousse Illuminée – it’s a more approachable, more everyday type of scent.

I’ll launch it in a few days, so that we can have a new and better procedure for next time.
- Comment on [Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club December Edition] Soap Voting Thread 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, these are valid complaints.
Next time, I will announce before how much time ther is or voting, maybe something like 48 h?
Also, I’ll check how different ways of counting votes interact with partial votes.
I will put up a thread for discussion soon.
