a/s - Extro Tabacco
balm - none needed.
A great tobacco scented shave - the Aussie tallow soap is among the best performing - and smelling - I own. The Extro Tabacco resembles Nivea 2 in 1 - in that it separates out in between uses - it is 'oily' - which is due to a lot of castor oil - when you check the formula - the inclusion of it in an aftershave - or indeed a soap base - guarantees the product will work superbly for me - it seems to be a 'miracle' ingredient for my skin. As it is the only one I own - I don't know whether any of the other Extro aftershaves share this characteristic. The scent longevity - for something you can put directly on your face - is remarkable. The Moka brush is - in my opinion - a modern badger classic - it feels way bigger on the face than the listed 26mm dimensions - super soft at the business end - and all the backbone you need. Stupidly good value for a brush of this quality - even more so - as Aliexpress are discounting them to £19.29 ex-delivery as of the 15th of June. I ordered mine along with a High Mountain White and when they arrived - the parcel had a London postmark - so there might be no need for customs anxiety - that was my experience - for what it is worth. Enjoy your shaves - take care - cheers - I.
