I received this soap in a bundle I got off of the bazaar a long while ago. It’s based of of CK One, which I believe tried to play off its neutral gender scent. Supposedly, the skin chemistry made it smell more female or male depending on the gender of the wearer. At least that’s what I seem to remember. Could have been a fever dream though.
Either way, the scent is not my favorite. I actually don’t really like it. I can’t say if it’s close to the scent of the cologne/perfume it is a dupe of, but I wouldn’t buy it if it is. That’s a shame since the soap itself performs decently (if not trying to meet the challenge parameters). There are better soaps, but there are far worse soaps too.
For this challenge, I used a bit less water than usual. I think I added a lot less than I should have because it lacked slickness and partially dried on my face. I had to reapply just to keep it from being unusable. I should have added more water, but I didn’t want to disqualify myself from the challenge. This made for a lousy shave, with the scent only adding to the pain.
