- Lather: Los Jabones de Joserra - Noir
- Post Shave: Declaration Grooming - Dirtyver - Aftershave
- Fragrance: Lalique - Encre Noire A L'Extreme - Eau de Parfum
Excellent scents all around! This was a very enjoyable BVWSC shave from a new-to-me artisan, generously provided by @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social.
Los Jabones de Joserra Noir is the clean-shaven, dapper, three-piece suit wearing, quietly aloof, socialite brother of the Carhartt-wearing, shaggy-haired, unruly-bearded, wilderness-loving, overly affectionate brother that is Dirtyver.
Suffice it to say that Dirtyver overpowered LJdJ's Noir, but Noir is an easy to use, well crafted scent that I'm now very tempted to introduce to my den.
