Apr 16, 2025 - BVWSC: Phantom of Kyiv

  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations Atlas II 26mm Raptor Synthentic Knot
  • Razor: Blackland Razors Blackbird Ti
  • Blade: Gillette Platinum [22]
  • Lather: Areffa Soap - Phantom of Kyiv - Soap
  • Post Shave: Areffa Soap - Phantom of Kyiv - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Noble Otter - Lonestar - Eau de Parfum

For the April installment of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club, we are shaving with Areffa Soap's Phantom of Kyiv. This is an artisan soapmaker from Ukraine. Very creamy lather and a decent, mild scent.

I've also enjoyed their scents The Blackest Night (a dark, woody fougère) and The Discoverer from the samples I've tried.
