It's time for the final Saponificio Bignoli soap in this test: Arancia Solido.
This soap smells of orange and is a hard triple milled soap, unlike the others I've trialled. It's solid. The name though..... Solido.... I've racked my brain over what this could mean then it clicked:

Solero! Solido must be Solero in Italian for the name of this solid soap. Arancia Solido translates to Orange Solero. Apt really as it's a very sweet orange. It takes me away on holiday. You know that Mediterranean orange juice you get in hotels that tastes great but smells even better? This is that smell.
Performance wise, it's ok. Slickness, residual slickness and post shave feel are inferior to the croap variants. I'll probably end up keeping this soap for the smell though.
Out of curiosity, I'm going to use the RazoRock WTP Lime next as a direct comparison to see if they're the same soap. I'll report back in this thread.
Here's a comparison of the ingredients:

Exactly - everyone needs a bit of that in their den!Even if the soap produces an underwhelming lather it's worth it for the illustration of a shaving orange.
Extro Arancia Italiana - it's a beautiful smelling soap. I have a sample of it from its no. 1 fan - @SatanfriendlyToo bad the hard soap didnt perform as well.
Extro has an orange scented soap..might give it a try next summer

Gotta agree with thatEven if the soap produces an underwhelming lather it's worth it for the illustration of a shaving orange.
