I have to say, I’m a little disappointed with this set (I do not have the EdP). It’s not that it is bad in any way, actually it’s very decent. Milksteak is a great base, so the performance is top notch. The scent is just ok to me though. It honestly smells like something I’ve smelled before (Leviathan?), and just doesn’t smack it out of the park for me. Like I said, nothing terrible, just not the best.
As for the challenge, I no longer use alum. I did so when I first started shaving, but found that it irritated my face more than it seemed to help. I found that witch hazel was a much better substitute, and I never looked back.
