  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Joseph Rogers & Sons Near Wedge (1)
  • Lather: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Soap
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum

Stargazer is a delicate scent. Combined with the soap being lightly scented, overall I'd say I didn't smell it much today!! There's something there, though, and I like it. In my experience with scents like this, my nose will learn what to look for in the future and it'll smell stronger as a result.

My only experience with ZM is with an older base. This base was intuitive and worked well.

I had high expectations for this fresh edge, but alas it just didn't feel the same as I once knew it. I've had shaves from this razor that made me crave it, but this was just average. I suppose I could hone it some more...
