Saponificio Varesino’s soaps are billed as ‘triple milled’, a process that can produce a soap that’s as hard as an anvil. But my puck of Stella Alpina is actually quite pliable. Now it didn’t start out that way. My first few shaves with the soap were subpar. The puck was so dense, I couldn’t get enough soap aboard the brush to make a thick lather. But when I started to bloom it – as the directions on the package recommend – I got a fearsome heap of slick suds, and ever since then, a shave with Stella Alpina has been among the very best.
