Mondial Mandarino E Spezie Review
A while back I was visiting with Steve of the Shave Shack Of Texas, who carries some shave products that aren't widely available in the U.S. I picked up a tub of Mondial Mandarino E Spezie ("Mandarin And Spices").
Mondial is another well-established Italian brand, just not as well-known as Proraso is here in North America.
I find it a pleasant surprise when a shave product scent description actually comes through with my notoriously insensitive nose. Mandarino E Spezie hits me with strong Mandarin orange citrus and spice notes.
Captains Choice Land Ho!
I recently got a chance to try Captain's Choice's new "Land Ho!" line of shave products.
Land Ho! is available in a shave soap, shave cream, aftershave balm, and aftershave splash. I tried everything except the splash.
The scent is consistent for me across the line and just what the Captain says it is: citrus then lavender.
