When I finished up with the Adagio splash, my wife expressed, "That's the first fruity scent you've used that I actually like." Adagio is heavenly. The first impression from the soap is a light cherry that's soon enveloped in a lovely green fruit note. It's not your typical fruit, however. It's not quite citrus nor is it quite melon, yet it has characteristics of both. The cherry sustains throughout as a clean musk base builds. This is another artfully crafted scent that one expects from Barrister and Mann, but it remains light in spite of its complexity. The light cooling from the gentle menthol is welcomed this time of year. Adagio sports the latest base from B&M, codenamed Glissant. Glissant provides an easy lather and incredible slickness and protection, but the post shave is my favorite aspect. The splash is the same scent overall, but there is a slightly tannic first scent that fades in less than a minute, leaving the beautiful Adagio cherry, green fruit, and musk notes. My only complaint is that it simply doesn't last long. Given it's light nature, it's probably by design, but about 2 hours later, I can't detect it. I do highly recommend Adagio, and if you think you don't like fruity scent profiles, you may yet like Adagio.

Thor, how do you like the Kong brush? It has rapidly become a real favorite for me.

I think it's a wonderful brush. Meanwhile, nearly every vendor offers this knot, but the Kong is still something special because it has a good backbone and can load a ton of lather.

RIP Personna 74.
In truth the 39th and previous shave should have been it's last but I felt I owed it to the blade to allow it to reach a nice round 40 shaves.
