Thank you for your thoughts on this soap, I think I just need to find the correct amount of water to get the perfect lather....it's really thirsty!

Although I take the p**ss about it, mainly because it is such an unknown quantity, I really like it, it lathers up very easily in my hard water and those animal fots actually do leave your face feeling really soft and supple, I certainly think that in terms of post shave skin feel it is at the very top of the pile and the shave quality is very much on a par with Tabac.
As I have said in the past, my glowing reviews of this soap come with the caveat that I do not develop C.J.D. or brucellosis in the next 12 months!
Regards
Dick.

just a few drops is all you needs,with either soap or cream..it's unscented also.so it doesn't clash with the scent of the soap or cream...give it goes see what you think.Regards.B
My wife really likes it (after I used it just once), but I'm not certain yet. I'll need to try it a few more times.Wow, I had forgotten about Jovan, I used to wear it all the time, a great scent if I remember correctly.

Mastro Livi CarboInox USA
One of the benefits of this vacation is the lovely balcony I have in my room and from where I can enjoy a beautiful view. It is also a good place for shaving and - despite of the summer heat is quite intense here - sometimes you can enjoy a lovely breeze. It is an enchanting place for shaving and all I need is a basin with cold water and a hanging mirror. Not to mention the joy of shaving with this Mastro Livi CarboInox with scales in which it is inserted the USA flag, a razor proving - once again - the impeccable craftsmanship of this revered Italian artist and craftsman, a genuine expression of Italian style and art. The icing on the cake was my super cooling and freezing Thyrrenus aftershave, the perfect refreshing touch for this summer heat.
