    Megalodon is an excellent soap. I should use it more often.

  • The only rational choice is a Gold Dollar: Highest utility if lost, while traveling. Nash would agree!

  • Octidi 28 Messidor an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Vesce: BVSWC July

    • Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
    • Razor: Thiers Issard Le Grelot
    • Lather: Chicago Grooming Company Irving Park
    • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
    • Postshave: Pitralon Classic After Shave
    • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

    This month's soap has been provided by BossHoggins10, who also helpfully included the scent notes. I don't know what's up with me, maybe I'm just primed to smell leather in BVWSC shaves, because I again smelled leather. I didn't really get the anise or the bergamot – maybe that just means its too well blended for my uneducated nose. I don't know YSL Rive Gauche, so I cannot comment on how clause it is to the real thing. But I must say I'm tempted to go to the next perfume store and try it.

    The base is good, and produced without much effort the American-style rockstar lather. Once again, a very solid soap, and the smush is generous enough for another two shaves. Thanks again!

    Edit: I had honed my razor before this shave, and it was a very smooth experience. I should probably also hone the others...

  • BVWSC will be on hiatus for AA, but I will soon launch the nomination thread for September.

  • Sextidi 26 Messidor an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Sauge: Bastille Day


    It's Bastille Day, and I chose the most French setup I could. I don't have a French brush (but I'm thinking about correcting this), but all the rest (except Nivea) has been made here.

    Have a good evening, and keep your guillotines sharp!

    Went to the dentist today, and I went out without huge new works in planning. 😌

    Have a good evening!
