The powder does what I bought it. It ensures a skin-friendly electric shaving. However, you can smell then covering the "old man" and this distinctive fragrance is unfortunately persistent. However, this is certainly a matter of taste. A Pre Shave Powder Stick I will definitely buy again - but I will scrupulously ensure that this is odorless! Recommended the stick is all, you should have sensitive skin. The razor burn is significantly reduced!
