Oct 16, 2024 - Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club

  • Brush: Highlander Brushes Jade 26mm Cashmere Synthentic Knot
  • Razor: Mühle R41
  • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [26]
  • Lather: Le Père Lucien - Narcisse - Soap
  • Post Shave: Oaken Lab - Sanctum - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
  • Fragrance: Maher Olfactive - Sun Soaked - Eau de Parfum

For today's BVWSC shave, the selection was LPL Narcisse, generously provided by @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social . From the scent notes, I already had high expectations, and the actual scent is better than I expected. Despite some scent notes that can usually overpower a fragrance, Narcisse is subtle, well-balanced, and beautifully executed.

I'm disappointed that I've slept on LPL soaps until now because the lather is excellent. I will definitely be exploring Narcisse and their other scents more in the future.

Oaken Labs' Sanctum had a very similar vibe to Narcisse, but the Jasmine is much more prominent. MO Sun Soaked incorporated the narcissus from the soap and offered a great overall finish.

I wouldn't recommend shaving with the R41 when in a hurry. I nicked my Adam's Apple, but I managed a smooth shave in record time nonetheless.

I'm more than intrigued by the scent description in the aftershave!

I highly recommend it
