October 15th, 2025: BVWSC - CGC Susurro

  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps "Elyria" - TurnNShave v9 Tip 28mm Badger
  • Razor: GEM Damaskeene Open Comb
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (15)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Susurro - Soap

  • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
  • Fragrance: Chicago Grooming Co. - Susurro - EdP

We're using Susurro for this month's BVWSC! I got this as my LG prize this year, and am very happy with it.

The performance of the Darkwing base is great, and I love the scent -- a dupe of Maison Margiela Replica Whispers In The Library.

It's light and woody, with a hint of sweetness. Apparently the original is supposed to evoke the cozy atmosphere of an old library. I'm not sure if I get "old library," but I really enjoy the scent. Perfect for this time of year.
