Jun 24, 2023 - Presto

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Green & Ivory 24mm Synthetic 2-Band Knot
  • Razor: Mühle Rocca R94
  • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [18]
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Presto - Soap
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime - Toner

No complaints from today's shave. Presto is an interesting mix. The scent notes are "Bergamot, Cedar, Musk, Rose, Lime, Sandalwood, Lavender, Patchouli, Amber, Ginger, Galbanum, Violet Leaf, Leather, and Jasmine, and is reminiscent of a soft leather jacket with just a touch of gasoline."

The bright citrus, ginger, and various florals stood out to me, and the warm, woody, leather was perceptible only in the background. This scent definitely leans towards warmer weather.

Rating: 4/5
