What a fun shave this was. If you're at all familiar with the two on the label then you have a pretty good idea as to why this set is a must-have. Growing up, watching the Addams Family was always a good time. Especially seeing what Uncle Fester was up to.
This special Halloween release from A&E is in the new vegan VR2 base. This made me even more curious to try as vegan bases have really come a long way in recent years. That and knowing the kind of quality A&E is known for, meant I really wanted to see what they could do in this realm.
The soap isn't as soft as I thought it might be but that doesn't really matter. I found that it whipped up easily but is a little on the thirsty side, so don't be afraid to let it drink the water it needs.
The scent is a combination of Khalifa and Vanille de Tabac and while I don't know specifically what Khalifa smells like, I can pretty easily pick out the vanilla and tobacco notes. So, I guess that means most everything else is from Khalifa. Either way, I think this one smells really good. So much so that I know I'll be using it at times or then just the Halloween season.
I did a 4, N, 2 three-pass shave with the Gibbs replica, and had great results. This little gem is beautiful to look at and a pleasure to use.
I hope everyone is having a nice October so far and is excited for Halloween. If you need a little pick-me-up go watch some Addams Family. I promise it'll have you right in no time.
That's all for now. Now go enjoy your shave.
