    Default Valobra Menthol Shave Soap

    First off, a tip of the hat to RezDog for his recommendation
    This is a very good soap !!....150gms and very cheap.

    The menthol is not overpowering, the lathering ability, cushion, glide and
    overall slickness is top-notch.

    This is a VERY soft soap and I pressed 3/4 of the bar into a wooden soap bowl easily,
    straight out of the packet.
    Another great soap from Italy Name: italian_flag.gif Views: 595 Size: 16.5 KB

    This has been asked before.

    Do they make bad soaps in Italy?

    I've tried several and all are good.

    Huge fan - wonderful soap.

    resist, with all your might, the urge to use it as a desert topping...

    I always thought it was great soap too, I have an older almond Valobra around here someplace, now if I can just figure where it is along with another soap lost around here. This thread makes me wanna try it again......that is if I can find it ? Maybe that's why I quit collecting so much...Oh well (chuckle).
