2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club (BVWSC) day, and thanks to @[email protected] for providing the smush of Irving Park.
I already know that I enjoy Vida’s soap base, but this was a new scent for me. Mr. Hoggins was kind enough to provide the scent notes, and I’m also aware that this is a dupe of Yves St. Laurent Rive Gauche. I really like this scent and it is another that I will put on my list of soaps to buy from Chicago Grooming.
