Saponificio Varesino (http://www.saponificiovaresino.com/it...) is an Italian artisan based in Brebbia in the Province of Varese in the Italian region Lombardy. The company was established in 1945 by Dante Bardelli and it has a long standing tradition of making vegan based, hard puck shaving soap. In addition to shaving soap, they also sell bath bars and shaving accessories.
70th Anniversary is a chypre scent with notes of Orange, Bergamot, Sage, Rose, Clove, Hydrangea Cedarwood and Sweet Patchouli. This is a bright and pleasant scent that opens citrusy with bergamot and orange before the floral notes of hydrangea and rose pop into the accord. The scent is delicate and inoffensive in the truest sense. Scent strength on this soap is mid off the puck and moves to mid-light upon lathering. Comparable scents that can be found in “wetshavedome” are Lebelle Soaps Classico and Catie's Bubbles Mille Chypre.
Saponificio Varesino utilized their Beta 4.1 soap base for this release, which debuted back in 2015. This vegan base is touted to provide superior slickness and post shave. Ingredients are listed as: Sodium Cocoate, Potassium Stearate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Rapeseedate Sodium, Sodium Sunflower, Aqua / Water / Eau, Shorea stenoptera Seed Butter, Fraxinus Ornus (Manna Ash) Sap Extract, Parfum / Fragrance, Ternifolia Macadamia Seed Oil, Sucrose Cocoate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Xanthan Gum, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Sodium Chloride, Tocopheryl Acetate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Citric Acid, Benzyl Salicylate , Limonene, Citral, Alpha Isomethyl Ionone, Linalool. The hard puck loads easily in both natural fiber brushes as well as synthetic brushes. The soap is not overly thirsty but does reward the user with a merengue like lather with proper hydration and agitation. The slickness on this soap, both primary and residual are very good, not elite, but better than average by a substantial margin. Post shave is good, but not as good as I expected based on the claims and other reviews I encountered. This soap base receives a shave score of 85, which places it alongside soap bases such as Dr. Jon’s and Blackship Grooming.
