Usage advice

Saponificio Varesino formulations contain active ingredients that, in order to give the best perfomance, need to solubilize and/or melt. The maximum performance can be obtained in this way:

• cover the soap surface with a thin veil of hot water for a few minutes. The quantity of water needed may vary depending on your water hardness and the rate of humidity of the soap, a correct quantity is when the whole soap surface is covered by water,
• soak a badger shaving brush (being it the best performer 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),
  
• face/bowl lather without adding water.
