Man oh man oh man am I ever frozen after using my dear brother Fernando’s Citrus Melody soap and aftershave. I love the scent - lemon, lime, grapefruit, and a little tangerine all come together to make it smell so refreshing, it’s tallow based so the lather is fantastic and so slick, there’s a ton of frigid menthol in it, and it gives great skincare. The Prep soothed and moisturized my skin afterwards, it also provided a most pleasant addition of menthol, and the Citrus Melody aftershave went on bone chillingly cold, it has the same awesome scent as the soap, and it’s witch hazel based so there’s no burning or stinging from it. Finally the gorgeous fragrance of the Aramis and I’m ready to kick some butt on the golf course with my brother-in-law and my accountant. Three passes resulted in another brilliant BBS shave that was so much fun!

Wishing you all a super Labour Day weekend - be well and stay safe!
