Saponifico Varasenio for myself personally is without a doubt some of if not the finest shaving products made today, the performance and quality of Saponifico Varasenio are amazing, I could quite easily use SV every shave.

Brush: the Stray Whisker 28mm Synthetic
Cream: Hawkins & Brimble
Post: Home Mash Menthol Splash (batch#5). Proraso Balm Sensitive

In SA for a couple of weeks for work. Packed limited kit but am intrigued by the vintage Spoiler blade. Great 3 pass shave on its 4th use, every time so far in a different razor. Will continue this combo to see how long this blade goes until results deteriorate.​
