Ooh, Braeburn and Dickens, Revisited looks like a delightful combo

I'll have to give it a go.

I almost went with Koké today. How did Cerberus pair with it?

I received your sample of Narcisse. It smells incredible, and I can't wait to try it.

Sep 18, 2024 - BVWSC - Old Strathcona

• Brush: Craving Shaving Blue Bronze 26mm Crave Synthentic Knot
• Razor: Mühle Rocca R94
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [5]
• Lather: MacDuffs Soap Company - Old Strathcona - Soap
• Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Druantia - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Gothique - Eau de Parfum

Today's BVWSC shave was with the selection of Old Strathcona. It's a unique take on a barbershop/fougère scent with rosewood substituting for lavender and the addition of aromatic tree moss and earthy mushroom absolute.

The feedback of the Rocca was satisfying, and almost as good as a GEM razor. Druantia and Fougère Gothique complemented the shave with their mushroom accords.

That's the one
