Amazing! The only SV soap I used before Opuntia was Dolomiti 4.0, and while I absolutely adored Dolomiti, somehow SV seemed to improve their formula drastically from beta 4.0 to beta 4.3! I would know because I’ve almost finished the Dolomiti so I got to know the soap quite intimately. The 4.3 explodes into a creamy, voluminous (but very slick) lather with much less loading than the 4.0.
The scent of Opuntia is very complex, with the pineapple being the most noticeable note. Underneath the pineapple are darker, heavier notes that are just intoxicating. At first, I felt neutral toward the scent—but now, I am addicted to it. It grew on me immensely and now I’m afraid I could never go without it!
Post-shave feel is outstanding. Skin feels soft and looks radiant after the shave. 10/10!

Sapone da barba dalla fragranza spettacolare! Strepitosa la resa e la meccanica di montaggio. Prodotto d’eccellenza per le sue qualità di scorrevolezza e di protezione della pelle. La bontà del sapone si evidenzia anche nel post shave. Lascia la pelle idratata e morbida.
Abbinato al suo after shave completa una sbarbata al top.
Complimenti!!!

Semplicemente eccellente!!
Facilissimo da montare, con pochi giri di pennello si ottiene una schiuma compatta e avvolgente. La lama del rasoio scorre sul viso con estrema facilità . La pelle rimane ben protetta ed idratata per tutta la durata della rasatura, ne consegue un ottimo post rasatura. Profumazione elegantissima e ben riuscita, ottime sia l’intensità che la persistenza. Da prendere assolutamente!!
