  • Blade: Gillette 7'OC-SS

For November's BVWSC meeting, @walden@sub.wetshaving.social generously provided smushes of Fanzine Saponifications' Caravaggio made by u/TheStallionPartThree.

The leather, vetiver, and pepper scent notes I was picking up worked well with the supportive notes from Ace by Noble Otter.

Connecticut Shade is so good

Nov 14, 2025 - Fougere Friday

  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Fougère 26mm v16 Fanchurian Badger Knot
  • Razor: Aylsworth Razors Drakkant Ti
  • Blade: Gillette 7'OC-SS
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - AG 1889
  • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - AG 1889

The lather fell apart on me during my second pass. It became nothing more than a thin slurry. It was enough to finish the job, but I probably should have taken the extra time to reload the brush before the second pass. Still a close shave, with only one small nick.

  • Brush: Brochas El Druida/House of Mammoth Tobacconist Chisel & Hound v8 Fanchurian Badger Knot
  • Razor: Aylsworth Razors Drakkant Ti
  • Blade: Gillette 7'OC-SS
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles - 322
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Ace
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather

Oct 15, 2025 - BVWSC - Whispers

  • Brush: Declaration Grooming Know It All 28mm B14 Badger Knot
  • Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy Ti
  • Blade: Gillette Platinum
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Susurro - Soap
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Labyrinth - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)

Today's shave with CGC's Susurro, which is a dupe of Maison Margiela Replica Whispers In The Library, was generously made possible by @snooting@sub.wetshaving.social. This is a great scent that will probably find a permanent place in my collection, either as Susurro or WitL. Darkwing is fantastic as always.
