Had a nice shave with Vitos Tobacco shave cream today.
Blindfolded I would had a hard time to notice the tabacco notes in this slick shave cream. I was expecting some kind of either cured tabacco or some sweeter pipe tabacco, however, predominantly I notice a kind of medical sandalwood note with a faint hint of citrus/smoke.
Anyways, the overall performance was flawless in terms of slickness.
Unfortunately the after shave is not my cup of coffee since I just don't like powdery scented splashes.
Thanks again @Multum in parvo for this generous shave cream / AS PIF.
