    July 24, 2024 - Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club

    • Brush: Zenith 508A XL/Bristle (B35) (MOAR BOAR) 31mm
    • Razor: MMOC Gen 2
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (3)
    • Lather: Abbate y la Mantia – Don Josè
    • Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Ice Blue - Aftershave

    Some people love the scent of banana. I can’t say that I do.

    I’m glad I read a couple of posts about this soap before using it, letting me know to load it like I hate it. I spread a very large amount of soap into my loading bowl, and it was just barely enough. It’s a very flat lather. Not a grower, nor a shower. I don’t think I gave it too much water, but I also sort of, somehow, didn’t give it enough, maybe?

    Oh, did I mention I also don’t enjoy menthol? I found the menthol to be stronger than light, but not painfully so. Still, it’s not for me.

    Still, I’m glad I had the chance to try it thanks to the BVWSC. If you want to participate in the next event, hurry on over.

      Sounds like the typical “not dialed-in yet” kinda situation.

      Sorry that we ended up with both banana and menthol in our first BVWSC!

        These are sacrifices which must be made.
