Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club, 4ᵗʰ Edition, Thu Oct 17 2024
Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 51 mm Manchurian badger)
Razor: Mühle – Rocca R96
Blade: Feather – New Hi-Stainless
Lather: Le Père Lucien – Narcisse
Post Shave: Abbate Y La Mantia – Koké
Fragrance: Farina 1709
I can already see that these BVWSC meetings will cost me money and that I’ll need to figure out additional den storage space because of them. After last month’s discovery (for me) of MacDuff’s delightful base, this is another fantastic first for me. LPL’s base seems relatively firm, and thanks to @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social heads-up, I knew to load heavy and long and was rewarded with a fantastic drippy and slick lather.
When I smelled Narcisse (french for “daffodil”) off the sample to figure out my post and frag pairings, I realised that I don’t really know how daffodils are supposed to smell. What I got is a rich, heavy, sweet floral, reminding me of Koké, and I chose Farina to add a bit of fresh summer to the mix.
There was a bit of discussion surrounding the Rocca in the discord lately, so I dug mine out again. My memory didn’t deceive me and I still really like this one. It’s a wonderful stainless steel DE razor at a reasonable price. Not aggressive, but really efficient, and with a nice loud feedback (by DE standards).

Great shave, great BVWSC meeting. Thanks for showing us this soap, @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social!
Happy that you like it 🍻
It was an excellent suggestion! 🍻
I’m surprised you remember how to use a DE razor!
It’s like riding a bicycle 😊
