This is my first time trying Plum & Bliss—a very mellow and deceptively complex scent. EM was great as always.
🧹🧙Witchcrafts Wednesday: Lycanthropy 🐺 🌝
It's a bittersweet goodbye to the brand that first introduced me to the world of artisan wetshaving through Desairology. The unique scents from SW will always hold a special place in my shave den.
I’m truly happy to see Courtney and Stephen following their passions, and wish nothing but the best for them. They'll definitely be missed!
Areffa Soap - Phantom of Kyiv

Feb 19, 2025 - BVWSC SLS - Dragonsbeard
February's BVWSC sample generously came courtesy of @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social, who has selected some top tier soaps for us to try. This month's selection is no different. Dragonsbeard is a warm, woody exploration of oud, and I thoroughly enjoyed the shave.
Jan 15, 2025 - BVWSC January 2025 Edition
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.

Another excellent shave with a great fougère offering from CB.
