SOTD s437L || Saponificio Varesino - 70th | ShaveXDave “Green & Gold” 24/55 Synbad ! Fatip Gentile

**Featured Soap** Saponificio Varesino (SV) - 70th Anniversary Beta 4.1, triple milled soap made in Italy. Scent Described as: “classic citrus notes are accompanied with refreshing aquatic notes, supported by a rich and balanced green aromatic floral and rural heart. All set on a base of precious woods and amber.”

**Shave Result** Saponificio Varesino (SV) is a highly efficient soap, so I used a small 0.5gm portion pressed into my bowl which I moistened with a wet fingers and then slowly added 20ml of water to produce a rich & creamy medium to high density with excellent shaving performance. For me it is a fresh Italian Cologne type scent (similar in a way to CHANEL Allure Homme) with notes of fresh citrus, florals and aquatics, scent strength 4/10.
