Great revival Rave! Sounds like another Italian Classic in the making.
Thanks Uncas. Have you tried Omega Via Barberia yet?
Not yet my friend, so many soaps, so little time. Plus when you have boxes of SV and Nuavia going unloved, it seems insane to get any more. In fact before you buy anything new PM me first.
I will PM you first! I always am thinking of a master plan.

I’m not a fan
I saw the Omega Barberia soaps on the Gifts&Care website last summer and almost added a soap to my order, but I passed. Sounds like I should have tried it. Replaced Haslinger @Raven Koenes? That is interesting.

The lather may not be as thick as Haslinger, but in the slickness, glide, and protection, area it is superb. I find it almost lathers itself, and at $12 for a 150g hard soap it should last longer than the smaller Haslinger soap pucks. Don't get me wrong Haslinger is top notch, and I'm
and YMMV. I also prefer the scent of Via Barberia. It is pleasant, present, but not overstated.Press me

Fumbling about.
First time with Omega Via Barberia Herbae. Lathers well, and nice clean after-shave feel to the face. Scent is very floral, though not strong, slightly sweeter than I expected but in view of the excellent performance I'm OK with this. I gather that the other two in the range - Fructi and Aquae - have more popular scents. Not expensive off eBay so a recommendation at the price - maybe an overstock.

I have the Fructi soap. It is a hard triple milled soap that comes with beautiful presentation, inside the box the soap comes in a plastic clear container similar to SV. Price is reasonable and could be compaired to RR WTP triple milled and Musgo Real as far as value goes.
Scent is on the strong side and is a complex fruity citrus forward accord that smells great.
With all this said, the performance i found lacking a bit. End up with irritation each time i use it despite experimentation. The lather is abundant and looks like it would provide a swell shave, but something seems to be lacking a bit IMO. Perhaps its because i have become spoiled with so many top notch artisans that my taste has changed. Will experimemt with this soap again and hopefully my opinion will change a bit, since every other aspect is met or exceeded i really do want to like this soap, will try using a bit less eater and see if that changes things a bit.

I used "Herbae" shaving cream-soap from VIA BARBERIA. I like the performance qualities and the scent was very nice.
Very good and decent soap. Recommended.

Yes - I'm a fan of Herbae. Liked the scent immediately and good performer too. Solid recommendation.
I just acquired Fructi and I'm not so sure of this one, needs more shaves
I didn't go for Fructi presuming that it would have a sweet aroma/scent and I don't like sweet scents.
What is it to you? What it smells like ?
It's sweet-ish but not too much. The fruit is quite faint and not complex - no notes stand out, it's a smooth blend. It's a pleasant shave with good performance and post-shave feel. It's kind of growing on me. It's likeable but not exceptional.
A vendor had a moving sale so I picked up a few things.
Wow! I think you'll be pleased....
I picked up a tub of the herb soap. Anxious to give this a try.
