Nuàvia Blu | Rubberset 200-4 w/Omega boar | 1912 Star | Gem PTFE (2) | Barrister and Mann - Adagio Aftershave

Nuàvia, as advertised, is legitimately good enough to forgo post-shave products. Nonetheless, it's hot in East Texas, and I wanted a little cooling effect as well as the addictive, albeit fleeting scent of Adagio. A quick 2+ pass head and face, perfect BBS shave, and we were out the door to a family reunion. After about 30 minutes in the truck, the Blu overtook the Adagio. I do understand Adagio's short-lived scent is by design, but I still wish it had a bit more staying power. That said, Nuàvia is one of the more sustained soaps I've used, and it has a pleasant scent in its own right. I really couldn't go wrong with this shave.
