Single pass head shave, a bit rushed - therefore not very smooth.
Personally I really like ZMs' soaps, even though there's the controversy about the name and the prices are quite expensive. Navigator is a fresh aquatic scent, nice for the summer. I tried to pair it with something equally fresh for aftershave and fragrance. While Apocalypse certainly fits the bill, Riflesso Blue Vibe is a bit more boozy and unfortunately, like most EdTs, not much staying power for me. That's just my unlucky case though as I can't spray any fragrances directly on my skin anymore - I purely rely on applying it to my clothes and everything under EdP concentration is not very suitable for that. I really like this scent though, it's a very unique combination compared to the usual perfumes (even though the fragrantica reviews are quite mixed).
Haven't posted in a while again since I had to yet again change my Lemmy client to Voyager since Thunder didn't have an option to send PMs to anyone ๐
I hope you're all well. Looking forward to the BVWSC-shave next week!
