Today I tried the finally back in stock Nuavia Blu by PannaCrema after jumping on a purchase.
While many feel this is the best fragrance available in a shave soap, I certainly wont go that far but do like it.
As for the performance metrics, it is touted as not needing any pre or post shave product. As such, I used it by itself with no pre or post shave help...
My first shave verdict is it gives a tremendous post-shave feel (better than any other soap I have tried to date) with excellent protection throughout. I would say Blu gives up a bit of slickness to my reference soap (SV beta 4.3), but outside of the relatively strong spicy scent that is very subjective based on one’s preferences (I tend to prefer Acqua di Parma Colonia and its Asylum Shave Works by SV clone), I am completely sold on the performance. I am happy PannaCrema has now re-released Blu in a less expensive container to get the (still relatively high) price down.
