Saponificio Varesino Comparison 2020

No its New SV now has a US Distributor. I would imagine that will be the main purchasing portal for us. I think they are transitioning to that business model

This look very interesting to me great think for 11 bucks!! But oh oh shipping was 15 bucks??
I have to say they make some very nice aftershave.
I just have to pass on that high of price for shipping.
UPDATE I just added another bottle of after shave and shipping was 30 bucks?? Seriously is this a joke? It is suppose to be a USA store? I know they offer free shipping for over 75 bucks BUT!!

@BarberDave are all these soaps made with the same ingredients more or less? I know SV isn't a tallow based soap, but didn't know if some contain ingredients others don't have. Also...are these different formulations? Would you be able to tell us which soaps are made with newer formulations?

Shipping alcohol based products is expensive to and from the US. Has been already for quite some years

I'm actually used to it! 🤪

Ok i though it was shipping from the US.

Yeah but then it still needs to be shipped to the USA because it's produced in Italy as far as I know.
Maybe @Marco SV can elaborate also a bit on this

Maybe we can set up a small group buy for the people who want the After-shaves. I also live in Europe maybe i can ship it cheaper.

Shavedash.com might also be option to consider. But 15 bucks for shipping to the US is not that expensive in my opinion.

I once shipped a couple of Aftershaves from the USA to the Netherlands using FedEx and had to pay 100 bucks in total
