  • Pre-shave: Face wash w/ hot water
  • Razor: Henson Mild (v1)
  • Blade: Lord Platinums (1st use)
  • Brush: Yaqi Tiberwolf Synthetic 26mm
  • Soap: Zingari Man “Traditionalist”
  • Passes: 2 x WTG pass on face and neck
  • Post-shave: Alum, TFS witch hazel
  • Growth: 3 days
  • Result: Presentable on the face, neck okay I guess

Holding off on the ATG for the time being, so just 2 x WTG. The scent notes for Traditionalist are sandalwood, musk and pepper. To my nose, it’s a sweet sandalwood scent that’s also fresh in a way.

Have a good one, ladies and gents!

The Traditionalist is one of the Zingari Man scents that I'd like to try at some point. Sounds like a nice, mild scent.

It's nice for sure, but not particularly mind. I'd say the scent strength is 6/10 or 7/10. But it's good.
