Italian Summer

  • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BADGER (Silvertip)
  • Razor: F. Rolli Rolli's Hollow Ground 5/8" (carbon steel, barber's notcho)
  • Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia Verbena Toscana
  • Post Shave: Acqua di Parma Barbiere
  • Fragrance: Farina 1709
  • Hand Soap: Le Petit Olivier Verveine Citron

Yes, that's a hand soap pairing. When I sang the praises of Verbena Toscana recently, @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social pointed me to this hand soap that has a very similar scent profile. It's now the standard hand soap in the bathroom I use most.

Fresh summerly scents all around. I'm counting down the days until our vacation.

No, not the same. VC is more bright lemon, VT more sweet orange. But it's clearly very similar

I may want to get VT then - maybe ๐Ÿ‘€
