Thread: PannaCrema Nuàvia Nera Just Released

Just received an email from PannaCrema this morning announcing a new Nuàvia soap called "Nera:" http://www.pannacrema.com/en/nuavia/86-nuavia-nera.html

At around $90 USD with shipping (FedEx) to the U.S., it's expensive.... My SAD kicked in and it's on its way.

PC's veg soaps performed well for me once I dialed it in (I have to load very heavy due to my water and due to the soap's formulation). While I really like the scent of Blu, I didn't particularly care for the Verde and Rossa scents; but scent preferences are always so subjective. The scent profile of Nera looks like it'll be awesome--or at least I hope it is at 90 bones!

I have never heard of this soap. Interested to hear more feedback/opinions.

Rich, try a thread search in Obie's 1st Tier. PannaCrema, Verde, and Rossa are a few good terms to try (Blu is too short)--there are a number posts on the soap in Obie's thread.

In the US, you can get PC from The Handlebar Supply Company (these guys probably won't have Nera for a while): The HandleBar Supply

Shave Dash in the UK has a fantastic selection of samples and the postage to North America isn't too bad: Home - ShaveDash.com

Unfortunately The HandleBar Supply will be out of the PC stuff for an least another month possibly longer according to Gareth. ShaveDash only offers samples and its about $10 for a 10ml sample shipped to the US.

Thanks for passing on the HBS stock status, Lazarus. Yep, forgot to mention that Shave Dash mostly sells only samples (edited my earlier post to add that info.). I mainly use them for more expensive stuff that I'm not sure about (scent, performance, or etc.).

Jay;

Thanks for the direction. I will do some reading and my give this soap a try.

Dammit Jay! Right when I said no more soap until I get some use from the ones I have, BAM!! Couldn't help it... Several samples on their way from Shavedash.com. SAD in full swing. At least I was able to go with samples this time and not get full size containers. This has to be considered progress...

Rich

Rich, Shave Dash is a little less expensive way to deal with SAD...wish I found them when I was starting out--would a have saved a little $ on my SAD.

Hope you enjoy the PC! While a couple scents didn't work for me, I think PC puts a lot of care and effort into creating a great scent profile! Blu is definitely a home run for me though, and the Nera looks like it's a great bouquet of scents (many of my favs are in it).

Oh, and for further evil on my part, have you tried Eufros soaps yet? Manuel's tallow soaps and balms knock my socks off!

Shame on you Jay! (where do you buy it...)

Lord Thunderin' Jesus Jay, it looks sublime, and will fill the void in my soul that all the others soap that leave me feeling empty and alone leave me with after 1 or 2 uses....

Looking forward to your review.....
