Wednesday, February 19, 2025: BVWSC - Dragonsbeard

  • Blade: Accuforge - GEM Microcoat (3)

For this month's meeting of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Club we're shaving with Dragonsbeard from ETHOS.

Artisan notes:

It combines Authentic Agarwood Oil and Oud Resin with essential oils of East Indian Sandalwood, Amber, Tonka Bean Butter, Madagascar Vanilla Bean Infusion Oil, and White Rose Absolute.

I wouldn't call this a gourmand, as the oud was front and center to my nose. I did pick up on a little spiciness and vanilla, and maybe a hint of rose. It's a very complex scent that I thoroughly enjoyed. The base also gave an excellent lather without too much effort.

Thanks for the smush @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social!
