So, today I had the almost fragrance-neutral Kamrat on my face.

The lather is very good, but you have to be careful not to add too much water, otherwise it loses its structure quickly.

The scent is truly subtle. Something creamy, powdery, not quite "Nivea" but similarly familiar. Maybe sunscreen, anti-aging... something recognizable, but I cannot quite put my finger on it.

Shaving performance is top notch. Never drying, excellent protection and a nourishing feel throughout.

The aftershave also impressed me. Slightly tacky, balm-like towards the end. More pronounced in scent than the soap, but by no means overpowering. The first burst is reminiscent of Pitralon CH, without the camphor, but with that same distinctive opening note. It then develops into something creamy, powdery and lightly citrusy.

Notes: True story, honest.
I went to my favourite spot as usual but getting out of my car I accidentally caught my headlights and they flashed a few times.
5 minutes later these beautiful ladies rocked up.
What a lovely surprise.
