Best praise vs top criticism for Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary Shaving Soap
“I just ordered three of these. Check my post; it was about a week ago. I loved Seville; it might be my favorite scent overall. For me, Tabac was a bit of a disappointment. SV 70 is incredible. With its tremendous scent and even better performance, it could easily be a daily driver. It has to be your first shave out of the bunch.”
“If you’re happy with what you’ve got, avoid the rabbit hole. If you want to try new scents and soaps, start with samples from Maggard (lots of brands) and Stirling (one brand with enormous selection of scents). Zingari Man (my favorite), Barrister and Mann, House of Mammoth, Noble Otter, Ariana and Evans are all brands to check out that have Maggard samples and full tubs priced below $25-30. You probably can’t go wrong with anything that Maggard is carrying, though. Even higher end would be Martin de Candre or Saponificio Varesino.”
