In our shop, the ancient craft of shaving has been handed down since 1904; faithful to the Italian tradition, our barbers have always used the classic shaving soap <\/b>and, since 1945, its cream version<\/b>, whose recipe is still the original one. But let’s see their features in more detail.<\/p>\n

Both are specific products aimed at preparing the face skin for shaving<\/b>, moisturizing and protecting it from the aggressive action of the razor; they also allow to soften the hair and facilitate the sliding of the blade.<\/p>\n

The Soap<\/b> has a solid consistency<\/b> and is packaged in a greaseproof paper; its formulation is based on Almond Oil<\/b>, an ingredient with a strong moisturizing and softening power<\/b>, particularly appreciated by those with sensitive skin, and with a delicate fragrance<\/b>.<\/p>\n

During production, the soap still liquid is poured into the appropriate molds and then left to solidify for a time that varies according to the humidity in the air and the time of year.<\/p>\n

Shaving soaps solidifying in our laboratories<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

To be used, the soap has to be lathered<\/i>, an operation that may not be easy if you are not familiar with it, especially if the water used is very hard.<\/p>\n

To lather the soap, you need to prepare the brush first: fill a bowl with hot water and leave the brush to soak for a few minutes, in order to soften the bristles.<\/p>\n

After this time, take the brush and squeeze it to remove excess water: the bristles have to be moist, but not dripping.<\/p>\n

Then you can proceed by rubbing the brush on the soap with circular movements until you start getting some foam. At this stage we recommend paying attention to the quantity: a little soap is enough to produce the foam necessary for a complete shave.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s time for the so-called saponata <\/i>(which means lathering): with the brush you apply the foam on the face and perform a series of continuous circular movements so that the foam rises further until it becomes a white, thick and creamy lather.<\/p>\n

Once this is done you can start shaving.<\/p>\n

Let’s now talk about our Shaving Cream<\/b>: it has a soft consistency and is packaged in a jar; the formulation is the same as the soap, therefore based on Almond Oil.<\/b><\/p>\n

Its production takes place by emulsifying the ingredients to form a cream, which is then transferred to the jar in a still semi-liquid form. The jar is then closed and the product is allowed to cool and solidify for a short time before handling the package again.<\/p>\n

The Shaving Soap in Cream has to be lathered too, but given its consistency the operation is simpler and more immediate: you can in fact take the necessary amount of product and put it in a shaving bowl, and then lather the foam with a damp brush. .<\/p>\n

After applying the product on the face, with repeated circular movements we will obtain a compact and homogeneous lather.<\/p>\n

Have a good shave!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
