Green Twist – Los Jabones de Joserra
Beyond the bright scent, what stands out for me in the first two uses of Green Twist is the well-nourished face feel . . . and it began to be apparent after the first pass!
Olive oil is ingredient #4 and the second-most-abundant fat, following bovine tallow. This base iteration—labelled "2/24"—is loaded up, though, with an extensive list of butters and oils.*
*An ingredient list found online does not match that on my tub of Green Twist. We knew there are base variations between "flavours", but maybe there are batch variations, too.
Interesting.

I don't know if Floid has offered other labels, but they seem to be making heavy use of "The Genuine" in marketing their current products. That said, my short answer is that The Genuine in an improved version of the Vigaroso, and the Black is a different animal. Those who want a long answer may proceed at their own risk.(08-23-2024, 02:55 AM)HighSpeed Wrote:

Never encountered that AS label. How does it compare to the old label AS?
The Genuine and the mentolado Vigaroso are similar in performance, including cooling. The scents per se are similar too, but the Genuine scent is stronger and has very long legs for an aftershave. It's worth mentioning, though, that the Genuine was purchased this month, whereas the Vigaroso is four years old, which may be affecting the sillage and longevity. As for skin friendliness, the Genuine was a pleasant surprise, and I don't recall my skin feeling this well treated with the Vigaroso. However, it has been a while since my last use of the Vigaroso, and we are talking about only one shave with the Genuine. In any case, here are the ingredients:
