Excellent!!!!
Doing a shave today of Nuàvia - Rossa .
This soap, thankfully, is another winner in my rotation collection (5th so far in a row
).
Keeping my reviews short and focusing on what matters to me and stands out.
So far this soap has being the quickest and least thirty soap. I thought I went from being Flash Gordon to the Flash with superpowers. Got a wonderful thunderbolt cloud consistency in the lather within like 60 seconds - so rich and powerful.
Since its a cream in a glass container, I use a 1.25ml or 1/4 teaspoon measuring cup [I like using it for my creams since its so small and fits in by bowl and does not require leaving soap cream out to dry].
The instructions say 3g soap to 7g of water. I just guessed using the measuring cup and did a 1:3 soap to h2o ratio [1/4 teaspoon : 3/4 H2O]. Bam! Great lather. Plus side. this has been the biggest lather I have formed so far. I just wanted to sleep on it but sadly my hair got that pleasure today. The other wonderful observation was how the cream just dissolves in the water like if your dropping food coloring into a large glass of water. Its so slick when when cutting with the razor it simply just clings the hair so well before the lightening bolts away with the power of the razor. Post shave is on par with my other favorites so far. I love Nuavia so much I have the scents in Verde and Bleu as well [I am not at all into scents so that says a lot in my book].
The craftsmanship is simply superb all around. I got word from the company there might be an aftershave [w/o alcohol] coming in the next few months. Really like the simplicity of the product.
Going to steal this list from Ariana and Evens store (albeit I have not tried their soap):
Ratings to date (in order of personal admiration)
1) Eufros, Los Jabones de Joserra, PannaCrema Nuàvia
2) AdP
3) SMN

Going to steal this list from Ariana and Evens store (albeit I have not tried their soap):

- Ease of use
- Creaminess
- Density of lather
- Slickness
- Residual slickness
- Cushion/ protection
- Longevity of lather
- Moisturizing
- Great post shave (hours after the shave)
