From what I've read about LT, I get the sense that there isn't much to the scent, but you get a great feel....similar to Stephan shave products.
In many ways it reminds me of the Prep cream from South Africa which I also use as a postshave balm. The scent and menthol sensation are very similar.
Monday 17th June Focus Slim Al - Kent Infinity - Kent/MWF -Florida Water Less is sometimes more. On my night shift I noticed a prickly sensation indicating some irritation. Pretty much the same feeling which drove me away from Kai DE blades when I last used them. Today I eased off and didn't chase the BBS finish......it's not far off only this time I passed the Alum test. 2 passes for a great shave

Parker 87r razor Parker blade Vie-Long Silver Tip brush Morning TOST Shave Soap Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe M&L Florida Water cologne 1st go with the 87r and it went well. Will have to work on the angle, etc but good shave to start the day with. All the other parts worked well and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks
Let’s march on with the OCs and today after much deliberation (never mind) the job fell to the iKon Deluxe OC matched to an iKon Bulldog handle. First impressions are excellent fit and finish and weighty. The OC teeth are a little sharp but nothing that a quick adjustment didn’t rectify. Loaded up with a Personna Platinum and this stout baby did the job quite well. Soap of the day was Stirling Weekend in Malibu and quite an enjoyable scent it is. Wish list? A menthol version would be awesome! Lovely two pass DFS bordering on BBS. Great shaver this iKon Deluxe OC I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a Stainless Steel take on the venerable New Deluxe. Take care all and happy shaves.

Soap lathered up real nice and actually felt the menthol a lot better. Two passes with a little touch up for a very nice BBS shave.
