Another on through the mill. I couldn't see a review for the soft soap, so here it is:
Another stalwart of the soft Italian soap family, though not one I could detect the usual almond scent in. The added menthol seemed to dominate, although it didn't offer much in the way of cooling.
I found a film left behind after a couple of the shaves, similar to another soap I used. Not sure if that was a reaction to something or what. It's a very soft soap, more like a room-temperature butter.
Slickness was a bit hit and miss but it seemed to offer enough protection to prevent the majority of nicks. Post shave feel was good too.
I generally got very good shaves with it and I was impressed overall. Although available in 1 Kg blocks, you can also pick it up in a more reasonable 150g size and it could easily be sliced up and pressed into your container of choice.
I never had a problem getting lather from it but it seemed to prefer between bloomed, even for only a short time.
Not one for those who crave a potent scent, but it didn't disappoint when it came to performance and although dearer than the likes of Vitos and Cella, it still offers very good value too.
