Saponificio Varesino 1945 • Hemp Soap

The bar has a firm, dense feel that softens beautifully once wet, and the lather it produces is rich without being heavy. It's been sitting in my shower for two weeks now and still holds its shape, which says a lot for a handmade soap.

The lather is thick and creamy, just what I wanted for a more gentle shave. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized without any irritation.

I've been using this at my sink for a few weeks now and the lather stays put for the whole shave without drying out. The Italian craftsmanship really shows in how smooth the bar feels against the skin, and it rinses off clean without any residue.
