For today's meeting of BVWSC we're shaving with Fanzine Caravaggio. This is not new to me, as I bought a tub in the initial release. It's a soap I always enjoy shaving with.
Killer scent, excellent lather, what's not to like?
It's been about a month since I used my CF Legacy as well. This things gives me such a close shave, especially with Lab Blue blades. Such a killer razor!

The ring of death continues to grow in this tub. Quite a nice combination with TINAT.
Ubrique hardly fits, but it's a damn good scent nonetheless.

You're not the first person who's said they smell a burnt rubber in VoA, which is interesting to me. I get a bit of rubber for sure, but much more of the bright citrus notes. Funny how different noses work!

Excellent Dranks shave. I'm looking forward to getting a trifecta of this in the premium base!
I believe shoat refers to a young pig that's recently been weaned. I can't say that I notice a huge difference compared with my other boar knots. If anything, the hairs are a bit thinner, but it's hard to say.
