Luna Rossa Black is outstanding juice. A friend got a bottle a few months ago and let me try it. Loved it immediately.

Wella great shave if measured by results as I am smooooooth. I lve the feel and scent of this soap but by the 3rd pass I get a tingling/burning on the skin so I will begrudgingly need let this one go. The brush I am really enjoying. A little bigger then my sweet spot and seems to hold/hog lather slightly although it will release upon nudging it too. Soft pillow t the face. Better than a Paladin? No, worse than a Paladin ? No. Just a slightly different pleasant experience and glad I could get one for the price I did as I wouldn't pay the $250 retail they ask.

CK Euphoria Amber Gold is the closest reasonably priced alternative to the Liquid Gold that has become, Liquid Gold price wise. It's just a little lighter/subdued a scent than the preferred darker Liquid Gold but I'm very happy with it in the $35 range for a 3+ oz bottle.

Calvin Klein Euphoria Amber Gold Eau de Parfum
Top notes: cypress, bergamot, thyme
Heart: honey, sage, oregano, absolute jasmine
Base: incense, vetiver, leather, amber

I get the initial slightly sweet citrus muted by the cypress and dries down to the warmer 4 base notes listed.

Have a Stellar day All Cadre Members and Paramedics !!!
