this won’t be my favorite soap, I think - too bad, it wasn’t cheap ☹️

Judging by the price I saw when looking it up - this is way overpriced for an A&E soap! 39€ is crazy. By comparison, you get A&E Barbiere Classico, their own barbershop scent in their new Ultima base for ~27€ here . I can’t say anything about their Ultima soaps, as I’m only familiar with their Kaizen and K2e. However, even the K2e which is a very good base is only around 23€ everywhere.
However, I am glad to hear your skin has recovered enough from yesterday’s blood bath that you can already shave again!
