    Octidi 28 Messidor an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Vesce: BVSWC July

    • Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
    • Razor: Thiers Issard Le Grelot
    • Lather: Chicago Grooming Company Irving Park
    • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
    • Postshave: Pitralon Classic After Shave
    • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

    This month’s soap has been provided by BossHoggins10, who also helpfully included the scent notes. I don’t know what’s up with me, maybe I’m just primed to smell leather in BVWSC shaves, because I again smelled leather. I didn’t really get the anise or the bergamot – maybe that just means its too well blended for my uneducated nose. I don’t know YSL Rive Gauche, so I cannot comment on how clause it is to the real thing. But I must say I’m tempted to go to the next perfume store and try it.

    The base is good, and produced without much effort the American-style rockstar lather. Once again, a very solid soap, and the smush is generous enough for another two shaves. Thanks again!

    Edit: I had honed my razor before this shave, and it was a very smooth experience. I should probably also hone the others…

      Glad you liked the soap. There are a few other Rive gauche dupes, but Ariana and Evan’s has a really good dupe, hold the fragrance burn. Unfortunately the perfume is out of production so you’d have to find it second hand to try it.
