Ordered the soap and AS from Italy a few days ago as well. Supposed to be here Friday and I cant wait. I love SV products and the containers for this anniversary product are pretty darned cool looking and I'm sure the products in them will be amazing as well. Cant wait!!

The soap is lovely and as Chris said the smell is bright with some floral. Very nice.
The lather and post shave feel with SV is exceptional.
The packaging does look great. One thing I would say is that the metal tin itself isn't as thick as some other tins. It is a little pliable in the hand so if dropped could be easily dented.Thatsaying and again as Chris pointed out for transit they put it in a plastic cover so top marks there.

Yes TSE, they shipped a few days after I ordered it and I had it in a few more days. Man, I am in love. This stuff smells fantastic. I have the Felce Aromatica and love it as well so the performance was no surprise, its great as usual. The scent on the 70th is amazing, each time I smell it I pick up something new. Great stuff!

On Sunday I took a box of stuff over to a friend to get him started in wet shaving. I also took along a show and tell box with a bunch of soaps, AS's, brushes and razors for him to get a taste for all the good stuff that is out there. He smelled that 70th and was hooked. I'm pretty sure that might be his first wet shaving purchase.
