  • Brush: Zenith B44 28mm Boar
  • Razor: Gillette Fatboy E4 (setting: 6)
  • Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (Green) (5)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Company - Susurro - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
  • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann - Marilyn - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Marilyn - Eau de Toilette

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.

I was not able to participate in BVWSC last month due to a mail system mix-up, but @snooting@sub.wetshaving.social was able to get Susurro to me. We have delayed BVWSC for this month until next week so this gives me a chance to catch up.

I am already familiar with the Darkwing base, and the lather was excellent. The spicy amber vibe that is given off by Susurro is right up my alley. I know this is a dupe of Replica Whispers in the Library, and I've never tried that, but Marilyn has a similar hushed, quiet feel to it as well. Very enjoyable shave today. I'm happy to have tried Susurro.
