2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I think Alma fits the bill for today's theme. It's main notes are Rose and Passion Fruit, and this would be a very feminine scent were it not for the musk that is blended into the fragrance. This is very cleverly done. Soaps from WestMan are first class.
After yesterday's September BVWSC shave, this was a preview for October's. Narcisse is very nice, but after getting rid of my bottle of Floid, I'm missing a neutral, fits-with-everything aftershave. Maybe I'll try the stuff @WegianWarrior@sub.wetshaving.social uses.
The Epsilon is to my mind much more stanky than good old Tabac – it feels like opening a hermetically sealed box of your grandfather. It has its charm, but I haven't aquired this aquired taste yet.
Was scooping a smush out of this tub for someone on Discord, so being within reach made it the obvious choice to use today. Soft Heart is probably my least favorite B&M base, but I still love it. It's just a little too poofy for my refined taste. Very slick, though.

Today is Theme Thursday over on the other place, and we giving a nod to NZ Suffragette Day (Shave with a a product considered to have a more feminine scent, e.g. florals. BONUS if you shave with a product made in New Zealand.)
I don't have anything made in New Zealand. Koké could totally be a feminine scent though, and it has a Polynesian theme going, and I believe New Zealand is a part of Polynesia.
