Inaugural Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club Shave

  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Foundry 26mm Declaration Grooming B16 Badger Knot
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE [11]
  • Lather: Abbate y La Mantia - Don Josè - Soap
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man/Rirana Perfume - Coconut Nanas - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - Agua Fresca - Eau de Toilette

It's been a while since I've used Don Josè, but the banana and coconut in this scent are excellent. I had forgotten the strength of the menthol in this one. It's not overpowering, but it's got a chill to it.

Today was my first use of the Foundry B16 brush. I need a couple more uses on this one, but it feels like it will be a great knot. It took a bit longer to dial in the lather, and it was low-structured and slick. The MM24 gave a flawless shave as usual.

Going from banana and coconut to pineapple and coconut with Coconut Nana's proved to be a great transition, and Agua Fresca nicely concluded the Summer themed shave.

I'm looking forward to the next BVSC shave.

Going from banana and coconut to pineapple and coconut

I was inspired to go in that direction as well. Awesome looking brush!
