What does Lucido smell like? I found it in Guam once, but it was something like $30 a bottle.
Honestly it is super lightly scented. It’s mostly a light fresh/clean scent accompanied by a moderate hit of menthol. It is lower on alcohol than some and it feels really great after a rough shave. It is perfect for evening shaves, when your wife doesn’t want to sleep next to a man who’s ready to go out for the night.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning! Went with Declaration Grooming's "Nightman" shave soap and splash. Great lather and performance, but I wish the scent was a little stronger. What scent there is, is nice. A "boozy-lime" head with backing "woody" notes. Not necessarily a warm weather scent IMO but one that could be used year round. Three passes and I finished with the marching splash and a spray of Alexandria Fragrances "Casanova" EdP.

Have a great day, everyone!! :)

The soap scent is really nice for a change...leathery & smoky. The lather was just acceptable...
Another nice easy shave with this razor. Smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a dfs/ccs result with some micro red spots for over-trying The matching aftershave was terrific!

This new soap...hmmm...the scent is there but too light...the lather...required more than the normal product and although slick but very goooey...overall nice!
Today's workday shaves with this razor after putting it through the 3 re-lapped & refreshed pasted balsa strops was just ok. Although the edge was keen, smooth & comfortable enough, managed 2.5passes for a mostly ccs result with some red spots. The matching aftershave was nice and the tea scent is slightly stronger...
