  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Micromatic Flying Wing
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (4)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Irving Park - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Aftershave

Posting retroactively since I lost access to all of my online accounts on this day.

Irving Park is a lightly scented dupe, and I really like it. I’ve used one other Rive Gauche dupe before which was scented stronger, and from my memory it was quite different. I’ve never smelt YSLRG in real life so I’m not sure which one is more accurate, but the CGC version is “classier” than the other one I’ve tried. Both are really good though, and I’m sure I’d enjoy any other dupe of this scent, too.

The soap base is incredible. Vida makes great products.

Thanks @BossHoggins10@sub.wetshaving.social !
