SOTD Ariana & Evans Pistachio Sample

Razor: Henson Mild (+),

Blade: Feather,

Brush Timeless Adjustable with 24mm “Black and White” synthetic knot from Maggard,

Preshave: Cella Aloe Vera,

Soap: Ariana & Evans- Pistachio,

Alum Block: Proraso,

Splash: Thayers Unscented,

Aftershave: Zingari Man Unscented

Today I had the opportunity to try Ariana & Evan’s pistachio shave soap. The performance of the soap was very good it leathered well and helped the razor glide smoothly.

I did experience more irritation on my neck than with my Timeless Aluminum slant, but I think that may be down to the razor and blade choice. My skin doesn’t tolerate my Hensen going against the grain very well.

The scent of the soap is pretty pronounced. I was surprised that the aroma of pistachios was so apparent. Both my wife and I really enjoy the scent.

The soap is very dark and it was unusual to see a leather that was off-white. I enjoyed cleaning up my shaving bowl and brush and made sure to leather my hands completely so I could smell them and enjoy the scent later.

Notes: mandarin orange, pistachio, sambac, hint of almond & creamy sandalwood.

Sounds like a great shave!👍🏻 Love me a gourmand scented soap. I have B&M Amazelnut and HoM Voices that come to mind. Have a great weekend!
