Aftershave: Gentleman's Nod Calabria

I've been far behind on posting my shaves, and for due reason. This was my shave to honor the last day of Summer '23.

I just can't say enough good things about Calabria. I'm beyond impressed with with what Gentleman's Nod has been producing and this release is a perfect example. The way in which the zesty citrus blends with subtle floral elements on top, followed by a smooth woody and musk bottom, I'm telling you this is a fine fragrance and one that jumps out to me as Mediterranean/Italian at its finest. I love this scent! I was even told by my better half that this is her favorite scent of all my software. I think that says a lot.

The Fatip is on the mild side but paired with a Nacet it really shines as a smooth shaver. If you get the angle right you can really cash in with an efficient shave after going against the grain.

As far as the last day of Summer goes. I'm sad for the season to end but am very much looking forward to this Fall.

There you have it. A truely righteous shave thanks to this Italian shave. If you're interested in Calabria I suggest you go for it. There's no way you won't love it.

Take care and enjoy your shaves.
