Manna di Sicilia Beta 4.3 Reformulated – Limited Edition Shaving Soap 150g

150g Shaving Soap, worked in plodder, extruded and cut by hand. The logo on the soap is “hammered” as it was in use at the beginning of the last century, before the coming of printing press. Soap diameter is 87mm, the same of the puck we sell inside the cardboard box. This will allow you to substitute the soap once it’s over with a new one, keeping this beautiful tin as the container.

The aluminum tin is printed (not labeled), and coloured.

Usage advice

• cover the soap surface with a thin veil of hot water for few minutes. The quantity of water needed may vary depending on your water hardness and the rate of humidity of the soap, a correct quantity is when the whole soap surface is covered by water,
• soak a badger shaving brush (being it the best perfomer when it comes to water absorbing),
• rinse it well and then pour the thin veil of water that bloomed the soap on the knot, and then start loading (20-30 seconds),
• face/bowl lather without adding water.

Shave Soap 100% vegetable, NO PALM OIL. For the saponification we use only FOOD GRADE vegetable oils , of which 50% oil COCONUT. A soap of the highest quality, with moisturizing and foaming properties. This is our contribution to the protection of forests, whose main cause of deforestation, is the consumption of palm oil.
