Fougère Friday second luxury shave with Boendoebaard's Brut dupe in the luxurious sheep base. Sheep tallow soaps just really seem to agree with my skin.
Wonderful late Sunday morning shave with my AA razor. I had forgotten how nicely this big and light hollow ground shaves.
Quick shave with the big 8/8 before busy Saturday.
It's like riding a bicycle 😊
It's truly amazing how Stirling just keeps standing the test of time 😅
Simple, but great Fougère Friday setup today. The Boendoebaard sheep base is really nice and I like their Brut dupe.
Today is the first meeting of the club, and we chose Don Josè, the delicious Banana & Coconut soap of Abbate Y La Mantia.
A few years ago, I bought a complete sample set of Abbate Y La Mantia's offering of the time (this was before the hard soaps, the Babylon series and even before Fufluns. Vulcano and Don Josè were my favourites and I splurged on a trickhole of Don Josè. One fun aspect of AYLM sets is that they come with a comically large 200ml cologne bottle, but a regular sized 100 ml splash.
Don Josè's banana plays the main role here, with coconut adding only support. It's a really easy scent to enjoy. Delicious, fresh, simple. The soft base isn't very popular around here, but I believe it's just because it's different from the typical American artisan base in that you need to load a lot more soap. When you do, you get sopping wet, glistening, slick, and – in this case – refreshing mentholated lather. I'm curious to see how the fellow BVWSC members will like it.
Now I'm off back to the beach 🏖
Nice MMMMFF! I haven't done one of those in forever.
This razor had a bunch of issues,
I'm curious! Looking forward to that video

Good question. I have a hunch about what didn't motivate voters, and that's an out of touch democratic party establishment addicted to corporate campaign donor cash.
