For November's BVWSC meeting, @walden@sub.wetshaving.social generously provided smushes of Fanzine Saponifications' Caravaggio made by u/TheStallionPartThree.
The leather, vetiver, and pepper scent notes I was picking up worked well with the supportive notes from Ace by Noble Otter.
The lather fell apart on me during my second pass. It became nothing more than a thin slurry. It was enough to finish the job, but I probably should have taken the extra time to reload the brush before the second pass. Still a close shave, with only one small nick.
Brush: Declaration Grooming Know It All 28mm B14 Badger Knot
Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy Ti
Blade: Gillette Platinum
Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Susurro - Soap
Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Labyrinth - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
Today's shave with CGC's Susurro, which is a dupe of Maison Margiela Replica Whispers In The Library, was generously made possible by @snooting@sub.wetshaving.social. This is a great scent that will probably find a permanent place in my collection, either as Susurro or WitL. Darkwing is fantastic as always.
Either works for me

I agree that Ace was criminally overlooked.
