What shave equipment did you buy today

Fantastic order! Saponificio Varesino is a big favorite. Could you possibly compare the scents from Opuntia and Cubebe and I'd you have it, their 70th Anniversary? I love the 70th Anniversary but I'm wondering if the others are a close match

I already have the Cubebe soap (got it last week) and I will receive Optunia soap somewhere this week (probably Wednesday), but the scents are quite complex to me so it's quite hard to compare. I don't have the 70th anniversary
But a "shaving friend" of mine made this, that might be helpful:

Thank you so much for this. I've been resisting getting Cubebe but I may have to give in, it sounds wonderful
 
I find Cubebe the best one, keep in mind that I also have Dolomiti and Mirto di Sardegna.

I have the 70th Anniversary, Felce Aromatica, Tundra Artica and Asylum Colonia. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. My fiancee prefers the 70th so I use it the most. I've heard the Cubebe EDT is fantastic with great longevity and projection. I think that resistance is likely futile with this scent.

There is no Cubebe EDT from SV I believe, only a EdP(Eau de Parfum). I wll recieve the EdP also Wednesday, so then I will write a short review either in my SOTD or another topic (not sure yet what's the best suited)

Pfff it's expensive for a synthetic brush, I can imagine you want to negotiate. AP Shave Co also has great synthetics for a way better price by the way.
Thank you! I've tried a few synthetics & am eager to try the Simpson. So far, the best synthetic I've tried is the Muhle silvertip synthetic. I've tried the APShaveCo Synbad knot before.
