    • Brush: Zenith/Stirling - 510SE-XL 31mm boar brush

    • Frag: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm EdP

    I like the scent of Taiga a lot; it might be my favorite pine-forward soap so far. However, I don’t love the Latha base compared with others from BaM that I’ve tried. It seems to dry out faster than others. Perhaps I’m just not hydrating properly.

  • Wednesday, November 20, 2024: FLS - Oro Valley BVWSC

    • Brush: Omega - 10048 boar
    • Razor: Rockwell - 6C
    • Blade: Bic - Chrome Platinum (2)
    • Lather: Stirling - Oro Valley
    • Post: Stirling - Oro Valley Aftershave splash

    • Frag: Stirling - Oro Valley EdT

    A great shave for today’s meeting of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club. Today we’re shaving with Stirling’s Oro Valley, which is a recent addition to my collection that’s quickly become a favorite.

    There is definitely a strong leather note, but I also get a touch of citrus and smoke. Not a thick, overpowering smoke. Think the smell the morning after a juniper brushfire. Mild, but quite lovely.

    Drama free lather with the Omega, this thing always delivers with Stirling’s base.

    Have a great day y’all!

    • Brush: Zenith/Stirling - 510SE-XL 31mm boar brush
    • Razor: Chiseled Face - Titanium Legacy Razor
    • Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (4)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Paganini’s Violin
    • Post: Barrister and Mann - Paganini’s Violin Aftershave splash
    • Post: Ginger’s Garden - Unscented AS balm (+ menthol)
    • Frag: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Armoatique EdT

    First shave with the new boar brush and with Paganini’s Violin.

    The brush, being brand new, is very much eating lather which made it a bit difficult to get the hydration right. We got there in the end though.

    Both of these are great additions, I’m glad to have them around.

    Not my best lather this morning as I was rushing through to finish before a morning meeting. Still great results though, the CF base always performs well for me.

    Have a good day y’all!

  • I would be fine with creating a burner gmail address for this purpose.

    Though this is perhaps more friction than we want for the voting process?

    It also wouldn’t be too difficult to self-host this and throw it on an authenticated route. I’m not very familiar with the architecture of lemmy, but in theory we could leverage our existing username/password to access the RCV app.

    Easy shave with Roam Two this morning. I really love this scent.

    Also, damn, this razor shaves really nicely. I’m glad I picked it up.
