2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
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 @[email protected] for providing the smush for this shave!
Glad you liked it!
