I've been looking forward to using the Alvarez Gomez Barberia range for a while now and it did not disappoint.
I wanted this to be good shave so I stuck with what I know - Facial wash, shaving oil, Merkur 34c and a new blade. The cream lathered up really well and was so slick as I slapped it on. The scent was sublime, so much so that my daughter even commented on it as she passed the bathroom.
The glide from the razor was really good and I was again thinking I had the wrong angle, but the blade was working away.
As I shave I drain the sink occasionally when it fills up with warm water as I rinse the blade under the tap. I shaved last night and didn't think much stubble would come off, but I could see it gathering around the sink....a lot more than I thought!
After WTG, XTG and ATG with a few touch ups, I lathered up with the left overs, then cleaned up. The scent was still having an impact. A rinse, a quick splash with the Thayers then the Alvarez Gomez Barberia balm. The scent continued, slightly stronger this time. A very slight sting but well worth it. A small spray of EdT and I was done. Feeling great and constantly smelling my face! Brilliant!
As predicted by @Blackmass, Alvarez Gomez Barberia is now at the top of my shopping list. Now to convince SWMBO.
Have a great Saturday folks!
