Jun 13, 2023 - Phantom of Kyiv

  • Prep: Klar - Activated Charcoal - Face Soap
  • Brush: Shore Shave Honey Jar 26mm Plisson Knot
  • Razor: Blackland Razors Blackbird Ti
  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue [13]
  • Lather: Areffa Soap - Phantom of Kyiv - Soap
  • Post Shave: Areffa Soap - Phantom of Kyiv - Aftershave

Phantom of Kyiv is a refreshing scent: woody with a citrus opening. Areffa has several soap bases, and this is in their beef tallow base. It was easy to work with and produced a slick, dense lather.

Rating: 4/5

Edit: I also wanted to point out the cool Made in Ukraine stamp in the soap.

Interesting soap, slava Ukrani! Thanks for sharing. And nice photo, what'd you use to take it?

Thanks! I'm using the camera on my phone and some post-processing tools.
