    2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.

    Today I used a smudge of Joker provided by @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social. When Joker was released, I was concerned about the citronella scent note but liked everything else about it. I figured I would wait to see what the community reaction was to this. Instead, I bought Jack which I thought would be a good summer scent, and which I’m very happy with.

    Joker is a surprise to me, though. Like Jack, the scent strength is lighter; at the Saponificio Varesino level. The scent, itself, is beautifully blended (my reaction to Jack, too). Very pleasant and slightly exotic. I don’t mind the lighter strength so long as it doesn’t interfere with one’s ability to enjoy scent nuances.

    In my view, both Joker and Jack are scents that I would use in EdP form.
