Brush: Wald Stratos Goldvein 29mm A1 Fan
Razor: River Razor 14 8/8" Full Hollow
Lather: PannaCrema - Nuàvia Nera - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner
Aftershave: PannaCrema - Nuàvia Nera - Balm
Fragrance: Creed Silver Mountain Water
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was my first shave with Nuàvia Nera. Loved it. There are a lot of fragrance notes in this, but the top notes are described as "Fresh and Green". This really comes across. I purchased this soap and balm at a high discount. I think PannaCrema is going to stop making shaving soaps (or perhaps going out of business). This is a real shame. Their scents are great and their vegetal soap base is pretty luxurious.
Oh, what a shame that they are going out of business already. Feels like they just started yesterday.
I hope you have some of their soap.
Unfortunately not. Only some post shave balms
Though the vegetal soap base is very nice, I think it is the scents that are worth trying and the balms certainly carry the scents better than the soaps do.
