Oh is that what I’m supposed to be doing with lipstick and deodorant? ;)

Best mmo on the market imo

Pomona felt much worse than Barbershop did for me. You're right though, it's an unpleasant sensation.

I hope my second shave will give me different results, but it might be wishful thinking. It is a lovely scent though, so I'm pretty bummed.

Luckily there's no shortage of great soaps to try. :)

My first shave with Pomona gave great results, but I think it gave me a bit of frag burn while it was on my face. I've had this happen with a couple of other soaps as well (Stirling Barbershop and the bit I tried of PAA Bay Rum before trading it away).

I'm wondering whether my skin may be sensitive to cinnamon or clove. There must be some shared ingredient contributing to this.

I plan to give it another shot with Pomona later this week or next since I enjoy the scent. But unfortunately, this might not ultimately be one for me. :(

Have a great day y'all. ✌️

Message sent (I think!)

Not surprised that the OG was also great. I’ve yet to meet a BaM scent that I didn’t like.

I love Roam Two. That is all.

I am very curious to try the OG Roam, but I haven't seen it pop up on the zaar yet. Anyone want to trade a smush of Two for a smush of the OG? :)

Have a great one y'all. ✌️

Ah, I didn’t know this. Interesting! And yes, clever marketing move for sure.

I did a bit of looking but couldn’t find a site that compares the Gentle Shave’s model numbers with those assigned by Zenith. Do you happen to know where I can find that info (preferably without learning Italian 😄)?

First shave with this brush and razor (thanks u/EldrormR over on reddit!). The razor was very forgiving and felt nice and mild. The brush is very different from the Omega 10048 that I've been using over the last few months. Way less flop, much softer bristles.

I think I'm going to enjoy getting to know these two better.

Have a great one y'all. ✌️

It's a lovely scent! I enjoyed my sample so much I ordered the trifecta :)

First time trying Black Ice, I really enjoyed it. I love the smell of anice, and the kick of menthol was perfect for a warm day.

Ramblin' Man afterward to please the missus. Have a great one y'all! ✌️
