PannaCrema Nero has more than 10 fragrance notes:
Amber, Tonka Bean, Artemisia, Bergamot, Vanilla, Lavender, Cardamom, Patchouli, Cinnamon, Mandarin, Salt Water, Black Pepper, White Musk, Sandalwood, Jasmine

I probably should have chosen Pannacrema Verde, but went with Nero which is more woody and spicy.

Paragon complements Nero well as it is also a woody and spicy scent containing lavender, bergamot, cinnamon and black pepper in common.

I did do a 1-pass shave today. The result was pretty good, but I used a freshly honed razor to give me the best chance at this result. While my shave result was not as close as my normal 2-pass pattern, what I missed the most was the extra time it takes me to do a normal shave and enjoy whatever setup I’ve picked for the day.
