  • Prep: Shower
  • Brush: None
  • Razor: Merkur 34G #RAINBOW
  • Blade: Gillette Platinum
  • Lather: Edge - Sensitive Skin Gel
  • Post Shave: Old Spice - Original
  • Fragrance: None

I bought this little travel sized Edge can of gel at a local CVS last year to keep in my travel kit, before I realized I could get a soap stick, so I picked up some Tabac and threw the Edge under my sink without ever using it. This is the first time I've used it, and probably the first time since my teens using a gel. If I would've deliberately picked up something for canned goop day it would've probably been Barbasol. I was super disappointed with the caveat of no Pasteurs, but it is what it is. I did however pick up the 34G from Pasteur's, which is local to me.

The gel itself is certainly useable, but I much prefer the brush-needing counterparts. I must say I do enjoy the translucency of it, makes it easier to line up. Finished up with an easily accessible splash of Old Spice Original. Easily accessible in this case if you're in India, because that's where this bottle came from.

As for my perfect, original scent, I like the combinations of sweet and spicy. Looking at notes from Fragrantica, I would pick cinnamon, clove, tobacco, vanilla, butterscotch, peach cream, smoke, and a touch of musk. Until tomorrow!
