Saponificio Varesino - Opuntia Shaving Soap, Special Edition Beta 4.3

Saponificio Varesino Opuntia Shaving Soap features Opuntia Ficus-Indica (prickly pear extract) to form a protective film and provide deep hydration. This triple-milled hard soap is designed for use with a shaving brush, offering a real traditional shave for soft, nourished, and invigorated skin. Each soap is uniquely formulated to deliver maximum comfort during your shave routine without compromising quality.

This large soap (90mm diameter) is housed in an aluminum tin with an engraved metal label.

The Opuntia edition highlights the collection’s signature fragrance; a fruity and aromatic blend with top notes of bergamot, pineapple, and blackcurrant, floral heart notes of birch, rose, and jasmine, and a woody base of patchouli, vetiver, white musk, and oak moss.

Crafted with the Beta 4.3 formulation, it offers enhanced lubrication, protection, and a rich post-shave feel. The formula includes larch tree extract to reduce trans-epidermal water loss and a castor oil-based vegetal compound for improved razor glide.

Usage Tips:

• Cover the soap surface with a thin layer of hot water for a few minutes.
• Soak a badger brush, rinse, and pour the bloom water over the brush knot.
• Load for 20–30 seconds.
• Lather on your face or in a bowl without adding extra water.
