Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti Shaving Soap 150g

The new “Grey” Dolomiti Shaving Soap is now available. We have received a less darker silt than the previous version. The scent is stronger, as in the previous one (the black version).

150g Shaving Soap, worked in plodder, extruded and cut by hand. The logo on the soap is “hammered” as it was in use at the beginning of the last century, before the coming of printing press.

The packaging is composed by a box of rigid cardboard covered with natural paper striped, personalized with stickers front / rear.

A special wood bowl allow to use it as a “cartridge”.

Although the PET can be used as a proper bowl, is NOT designed for that purpose.

An inner tissue paper wraps and enhances a unique soap, born from years of experience in the art of saponification, in the service of the most demanding users of the forum Ilrasoio.com, whose contribution has made possible the realization of a shaving soap with unique characteristics.

We can proudly call the product 100% Made in Italy. In addition to the soap base (saponificated and produced by us), the label, PET, and tissue paper only come from Italian suppliers.

The fragrance Dolomiti rise by a top note of light citrus lemon, with a hint of sage. The core is floral and definitely lavender, with a hint of cloves and black pepper. The tail amber and woody vetiver, patchouli and cedar wood characterizes the personality of the perfume The indication Beta 4.0, indicates the course of product development, initially as a Beta 1.0 and improved step by step.
