Shaving Soap - Manna di Sicilia 4.3 metal

150g Shaving Soap, worked in plodder, extruded and sliced by hand. The logo on the soap is “hammered” as they used to do at the beginning of the last century, before the advent of printing machines. The Beta 4.3 indicates the product development stage, initially born as Beta 1.0 and improved step by step. It was decided to bring back “Beta 4.3”, next to the name of the fragrances, as a tribute to time and the commitment to achieve this final result.

Olfactory note

The slightly citrusy top notes of bergamot and orange are well balanced by aromatic notes of sage and traces of fenugreek, a prelude to a warm body note with a slight hint of honey that gives a hint of tobacco and spices, softened by floral traces of jasmine and geranium leaves.
The base note is woody and amber of patchouli, cedar wood, benzoin resin and guaico wood to make the memory of the perfume warmer and more full-bodied.

Below we explore the characteristics of the soap:

This soap contains a high percentage of Manna, coming from the Park of Madonie in Sicily. The place is situated between the towns of Castelbuono and Pollina.

Manna derives from the incision made onto the Ash tree and it has a rich composition of active substance. But the best feature that you will love is the skin softness and the confort sense in your post shaving.

Usage Advice

Saponificio Varesino’s formulations contain active ingredients that, in order to obtain the best perfomance, need to solubilize and/or melt. The maximum performance can be obtained in this way: cover the soap surface with a thin veil of hot water for few minutes. Soak a badger shaving brush, rinse it well and then pour the thin veil of water that bloomed the soap on the brush, and then start loading (20-30 seconds), face or bowl lather without adding water.
