Saponificio Varesino Shaving Soap formulations contain soluble ingredients that need to be activated with water. For best results use the following steps to prepare your soap:
* Wet the soap: cover the surface with a thin veil of hot water for 2-3 minutes. We recommend preparing your soap in one of our hand-carved wood shaving soap bowls.
* Wet the brush: Run the brush under warm water to saturate the bristles. This will prime it to accept the shaving cream or soap. Shake off any excess water.
* Add shaving soap: Run the bristles over the shaving soap. Because you’re dealing with a quality soap, you actually don’t need to use much to create an amazing lather.
* Work into a lather: Using circular motions, work the brush around your beard and enjoy the scent of your shaving soap. The circular motions will also raise hairs from the skin’s surface for easier removal with the razor.
* Rinse the brush: Once you’re done, run the brush under some cold water. Use your fingers to separate the bristles to get all of the soap out of the hair. Squeeze the excess water from the brush and set it back in its stand.

United StatesINCONSISTENT
I thought the Argania was above the others, and I own 5 of the other SV shave soaps. I ordered another puck, to realize it came 10 grams below the advertised 150, which is a lot when it comes to hard/triple milled soap. Also, the imprint on the cover of the tin is so blurry, it made me think, is it fake? The smell and performance is also below the first puck. The box says it’s the same batch, but this is my experience. I expected more from a luxurious product at this price point. There is no consistency from SV, and I’ll stick to the US artisans. This was my last purchase from SV.

I believed the first puck's performance was above the others from SV I own (5). I purchased the second to realize it came 10 grams below the advertised 150g. It's a huge difference when it comes to hard/triple milled soaps. The top of the tin print was so blurry vs the first I got, it made me think, is it fake? Finally, the smell and overall performance was below my first tube. The box says it's the same batch# but this is my experience. I expected more consistency from a luxurious product at this price point. This is my last purchase from SV. I'll stick with the US artisans for shaving soaps.
