Saponificio Varesino's Dolomiti soap Review

[joeyboy]

nav, that sounds like a good idea, I've been having problems loading the brush with the SV puck unstable and sliding around various containers and mugs. In some videos, I've seen people rubbing the excess lather right onto their face just to have more lather and cushion. I'll try this method next.

I rub excess lather on my face from all my soaps. I kind massage lightly with it then face lather the loaded brush.

Yeah, give it a go.
I do it with literally all my hard soaps (I have about 40 milled soaps and 60 non-milled croap style) and I find it always works great.

The only scenario where it may not be so good is if one loads up with a very wet brush in which case, soapy water will go everywhere.

Thank you nav, I tried your method for the first time today on my Dolomiti puck and loading the brush was substantially easier and more efficient, like I said I had seen people holding the small-size Haslinger pucks in one hand while loading the brush by the other, I don't know why it didn't occur to me to do same with my Dolomiti puck. This is why I love this place, always something really useful from very kind members.

Fantastic! Glad it worked out well for you.

And yes, many years ago, I also did it this way for the first time with haslinger and then started doing it the same way with all hard pucks. It's just so easy and neat (I'm a bit OCD with my hard pucks).

Grated and hard pressed into old Castle Forbes container. For those who are unsure how to store it, this might just be another option to try. I do the same thing with Haslinger soaps.

I bought some 6oz tubs from Sirling and just bloom the puck each shave.

Its good stuff to be sure
good price
I just leave my brush a little extra wet before i go in and load

The puck fits perfectly in the timeless razor bowl ($9) the bowl extends up from the puck about 2 inches so it works great in terms of firing up a lather.

Thank you for this suggestion.
