wouldn't this be cool? Pure20 & DFS soap...

I'm a big fan of PannaCrema. I know that people tend to celebrate the American artisans, but only a few (B&M, Mystic Water, PAA, etc) have been successes for me. Everything I've tried from PannaCrema has been exceptional on the first test, and Nuavia is the top of its class.

Well done andrewjs18 for making this arrangement!

Have you tried Pure20?  If so, how does it compare to B&M Glissant?  

I recently purchased the Vetiver Pure20.   I used it yesterday and I was amazed by the performance -- the slickness, protection and post shave feel were top-notch.  Only Nuavia gave me better results.   My next purchase is going to be Glissant Adagio.

I have plenty of B&M soaps, both Pure2O soaps, and Nuavia Rossa. All three formulas provide exceptional shaves and offer wonderful scents. However, I am likely not in the majority on this one. The performance of Nuavia and Pure is so close to me that it comes down to price, which Pure wins on big time. Some shaves I think Nuavia is slightly better, and then I shave with Pure and think it's better. I think I actually like the type of lather I get from Pure better, and the post shave is not much different, though maybe Nuvia has a slight edge there.

Wow...that's exactly what I think of the performance of these two soaps.   What does the majority think around here?  

I just hope Marco releases new versions of Pure20 soon because Vetiver is not my favorite of scents.  But for $15, I can't really complain.

Have you used Sudsy Soapery?   If not, you should give those soaps a try.   They sell for around $12...and if you don't like them...you can't really complain.  

I personally like B&M better than Nuavia and Pure. However, that does not mean it is better, but for my skin and beard it seems to be. These soaps are all so close I hate to even choose, but I find myself grabbing B&M more than Nuavia or Pure. Regardless of my preference, I still highly recommend Nuavia and Pure.

Well, you just made my decision to buy B&M soap a lot easier.

I have not tried Sudsy Soapery but a friend on the forum recommended it so I added it to my list. The formula/ingredients are right up my alley so I'm anxious to give it a try. I tend to enjoy soap formulas with high butter and oil content, such as B&M, PAA/CK, and Stirling. Other soaps I absolutely love are Saponificio Varesino and Tabac.

B&M is a must try imho, and I think you will enjoy it.

I am not sure on the Pure2O Vetiver scent either. I think it's very well done but vetiver scents don't typically work for me. Hopefully Marco comes up with some more interesting scents. The Pure2O DFS scent is simply divine imo, and will definitely have a spot in my den.

Divine, huh?  

Is the DFS Pure2O still available?    If so, how do you buy it?  I thought it had not been released yet.  


I'm placing an order for Adagio today.

It's not, I have a sample of it. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word divine. I love it so I just said divine, but divine is better reserved for scents like B&M Leviathan or Lavanille. Everyday I open it to take a smell though, and just wish I had a full jar. It's a fresh sort of citrus scent that reminds me of CRSW Puro Fresco, although I haven't had that one for a year so my memory could be wrong.

Pure20 DFS is not available yet. Per PannaCrema, it should be ready in August and @"TheHandleBar" will be stocking it, as far as I know. What Hobbyist is using is a sample I sent out to 10 or so people.

Still, it must be better than the Vetiver...unless you love the smell of Vetiver.    I should not complain though  -  the Vetiver smell nice enough.  Its just that the scent is a little underwhelming when compared to the Nuavias.

Thanks for the information.  By August I'll probably have too many soaps at hand (I need professional help).

That's why I sell off some every once in a while. It's about that time again but I can't decide which to part with.

Same here. I usually sell off stuff to justify new purchases.

Me too. All of my purchases come from my PayPal funds, which come from selling off shaving gear.
