Saponificio Varesino Stella Alpina Shaving Soap Refill 150g

Stella Alpina is the second shaving soap based on the Beta 4.2 Formulation.

Similarly to its predecessor, the Cosmo shaving soap, Stella Alpina is featured by a fantastic post-shave effect. By adding the Edelweiss Extract* (Leontopodium Alpinum) and Hazelnut Oil (Corylus Avellana), together with a new balancing of the other ingredients, we improved its overall performances during the shave.

*extract from the organically cultivated Swiss Alpine plant Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum Cass.) for cosmetic application and certified organic by ECOCERT, COSMOS, and NATRUE.

• soak a badger shaving brush (being it the best perfomer when it comes to water absorbing),
• rinse it well and then pour the thin veil of water that bloomed the soap on the knot, and then start loading (20-30 seconds),
