B&M Night music - I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the smell and feel of the soap. Of course quality was top notch! Loved it

Stella Alpina (Saponificio Varesino) citrus, eucalyptus, herbs, amber musk

Stella Alpina (beta 4.2) seems softer than some of Saponificio Varesino’s other shaving soaps. When it first arrived, I mashed it into a new tub with no effort at all, and now, after only nine shaves, the puck sports a pretty nice divot. Earlier betas of this soap maker’s products were as hard as a triple milled bar. They were good candidates for deep blooming. But Stella Alpina loads easily after having been veiled with only a half teaspoon of warm water. The only other peculiarity I’ve noticed is the soap’s preference for a badger brush. I made some mediocre, thin lathers when I used a synthetic, but when I broke out the badger, I found myself knee-deep in cream.

Hmm, this soap is on my shopping list (thanks to you and a couple of my current hometown DFSers), but I don’t use badger brushes. Should I be worried…?
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”
