Saponificio Varesino have been producing high quality soaps in Italy since 1945. The Stella Alpina shaving soap produces a high quality lather with positive post shave benifits. These soaps are made to traditional methods and each are hammer stamped with the Saponificio Varesino logo.
It foams up well gives great coverage using the badger hair brush I use. Nice fragrance (not to over powering).
First time I have tried this soap. Fragrance is very strong, quite lemony but with more than a hint of bergamot. I used an Omega 48 brush as well as a Muhle Silvertip Badger brush. No effort or much water to make a thick creamy lather, which spreads on well. I used both a straight razor and a fairly aggressive DE . In both cases the blade simply glides over the lather protected skin. No razor burn at all. Looking forward to trying out the other soaps by this manufacturer. Highly recommended product.
