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.
Delightful shave with great šmells.
Oh wow! This was my first time trying a MacDuff's soap, and it's a delightful base! So easy to load a gooey protolather and hydrate it to a dense, creamy, drippy lather. I really slept on this one.
Today is the third meeting of our Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club, and we have picked @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social's submission of MacDuff's Old Strathcona. Thank you Sahenders for the generous smush! The scent is a pleasant Barbershop scent of the Barrbarr kind. Both Barrbarr and Old Strathcona have a prominent note that I perceive as anise, but neither have it listed. It's maybe some combination of Rosemary/Terragon and Basil playing a trick on me?
Ether way, the scent is really pleasant and combined well with Barrbarr, but the star of the show is the soap base. I've rarely had such a wonderful lather on the first try with a new base. Really dense and protective feeling lather. I need to kill a tub to make room for MacDuff's.
Great BVWSC meeting, great shave!
So it seems to be my duty to avoid a barren thread today!
Hell yeah!
I now have an interesting barbershop scent to compare tomorrow’s BVWSC
I'm really looking forward to this one!
Nope, I'm getting a face full of bright resin/sap. Like a freshly cut Christmas tree. But my nose isn't very refined
Stanky evening shave with Tabac and Varen. Good times.
Wonderful Armonía shave tonight. Great scent and slick base, what's not to love‽
How about a blind check? You have an assistant prepare the razors so you don't know which is which and repeat?
