Saponificio Varesino - Felce Aromatica Shaving Soap, Special Edition Beta 4.3

Saponificio Varesino Felce Aromatica Shaving Soap is a masterfully crafted artisan soap made in Italy. Developed using a rare male fern extract (Dryopteris Felix-mas) from a microclimate in the Italian Alps, it helps balance and soothe the skin while preventing irritation.

The fragrance opens with sparkling notes of bergamot, lemon, and tangerine. A spicy heart of ginger root and Sichuan pepper blends with bourbon geranium, followed by a sensual base of amber, sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver. The aromatic fern fragrance harmonizes with the soap’s natural ingredients, creating a fresh and complex scent.

This artisan soap is extruded and hand-cut to a 90mm puck. The SV 1945 crown logo is hammered into each soap using traditional techniques, then wrapped in tissue and presented in a premium paperboard inner and outer box.

Beta 4.3 Formula Highlights:

• Enhanced lubrication and protection during shaving
• Improved post-shave skin feel
• Includes larch tree extract to reduce trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL)
• Vegetal compound based on castor oil for added glide

Usage Tips:

• Cover the soap surface with a thin veil of hot water for a few minutes
• Soak a badger brush, rinse, and pour the bloom water onto the knot
• Load for 20–30 seconds and lather on the face or bowl without adding more water

Not tested on animals.
