Valobra Almond ~ Semogue OC ~ 7o'clock #77 ~ Erbe ~ Alum
Last Italian soft soap sample...
Mild scent which did come to life a little once lathered, a natural almond that isn't sweet like Cella/ABC but more nutty... I found it quite pleasant. Performance was good, adequate slickness and cushion etc, no irritation issues with this one. Post shave very good, nothing to complain about.
The league table looks something like this now...
#1 Boellis 1924 Panama (stellar performance and nice scent)
#2 3P (stellar performance and acceptable scent)
#3 Valobra Almond (very similar performance to 3P but more expensive, though it does have a slightly nicer scent)
#4 Cella (good performance and meh scent)
#5 Vitos Extra (average performance and bleh scent)
#6 ABC (not good on any level really)
N.B Although I say some are stellar performers vs others which are only average, whilst this is true the
actual difference is quite small (5-10%.) This being a hobby forum where we nitpick to the nth degree I think this is normal, for me the difference between a good soap and a so called "elite" soap is very small.
