Synopsis: |
Today was an all Italian (well almost) affair. I recently got myself a AdP Colonia EdC, and decided to bring the AdP out of the fridge (had not used it in a long time...typical downfall of having too many soap/creme choices) and reunite the family for an Italian shave. The Shavemac does not fit the bill, but hey, I didn't want to spend $340+ for an AdP brush (they are beautifully designed though)...We can't have it all, right ;)? Anyhoo, back to the shave. A pea sized amount of the AdP creme provided for a nice, thick and moist lather that smelled wonderful. The Livi was an absolute joy to use...sharp and smooth as the first day I bought her. I bet it'll be some time before this baby gets introduced to any of my stones. Super clean shave:tu. The Floid AS and the AdP Colonia EdC were a great finish for this (almost) all Italian affair. |
