Aftershave: Barrister & Mann Presto
What a nice shave today’s was. Barrister & Mann really came through with Presto, I must say. The whole soft leather jacket with a touch of gasoline, "diesel-flowers" thing really is just perfect. The fragrance is complex and beautiful. And is most definitely alluring and masculine. I pick up on the Fahrenheit connection and I love it! Presto is another solid win for Barrister & Mann and I highly recommend it.
Such fine software is deserving of fine hardware. So with that said, I reached for the infamous Blackland Blackbird. I paired it with a reliable Gillette Platinum blade and had a great shave.
I did three passes, being enveloped by the awesome fragrance while the razor glided across my face with ease. It was a fun experience. I do want to point out that like Adagio, Presto has a little bit is menthol in it. Not a ton so don't be worried if it's typically not your thing. I didn't notice it all that much until my final cold water rinse. But let me tell you. When I did that rinse it felt so good! The cooling sensation felt so nice on my face. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I received this set as a Father's Day gift and couldn't be happier. Presto is fantastic. I dig the Fahrenheit aspect to it and it provided me with a really nice shave.
Thanks for reading and enjoy your shaves.
Prepare for mind control!
