Barbiere Sofisticato Shaving Soap - Ultima 2

This soap is unreal, I have the Asian Plum to try next Has to be the best soap I've used, also I saw a video of Peter doing a face lather, I tried his routine and what a difference it made, I wasn't doing things right before. I started late in life wet shaving, 71 years old, been at it for about a year, I enjoyed it before but now even more. Their is nothing like it.

Great shave performance, this is the first soap I’ve found that can hang with Barrister and Mann. The fragrance was pretty light in the soap which isn’t a deal breaker for me but I thought I’d be able to smell more.

Reminds me of going to a barbershop. Would higjly recommend.

Love the classic scent ,produces thick and slick lather.you can't go wrong with any of their products.

One of my daily drivers. Scent is confident and cant get enough. that K2E lather is absolutely incredible. Cant get enough, another masterpiece.

I’ve been using Barbiere Sofisticato Shaving Soap for about two weeks and it’s a wonderful soap. The lather is thicker than what I’m accustomed to and provides excellent glide and protection for my safety razor without any nicks or irritation. It does require more water than other soaps I’ve used but that’s not a drawback just something I’ve had to get used to.

The post-shave feel is excellent. My skin feels soft, hydrated, and comfortable after each shave.

The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is the scent which is completely subjective. My favorite soap had been Mitchell’s Wool Fat so I prefer a more traditional soap scent. I knew when making the purchase that this might not be up my alley but I wanted to give it a try anyway. My first impression is of cherry candy or the old cherry cough drops that used to be sold in pharmacies. It’s definitely not a bad scent just not exactly my thing.

Overall, this is a fantastic product with no real complaints. I highly recommend the product on the merit of its lather and overall shaving experience. You’ll just need to find a scent that suits you.

Its a very nice barbershop scent. It’s balanced and lathers very well. It takes the traditional barbershop scent and refines it. Very happy with it

Very pleasant and balanced scent. It's both there and not there. The soap itself lathers super well even in extremely hard water. I would definitely recommend this product.

I Love this one! Fantastic scent, clearly present but not over powering. Easy to lather and perfect face coating for a great shave.

Efficiency

Another outstanding A&E shaving soap: Barbiere Sofisticato! Rich luxurious lather and a great scent- not overpowering, just right. it’s A look forward to using again and again.

Excellent and superior soap!

This is my favorite Ariana and Evans scent- a little musky, very bright, very clean, not too sweat. And the quality of kaizen base gives you the best shave possible.

I had high hopes for a Peter barbershop and this one delivers in spades. A ture crowd pleaser that puts you sitting straight in the chair of the most upmarket barber around.

True Italian barbershop excellence! The scent is classic, refined, and elegant, perfect for the sophisticated gentleman. The lather is rich, dense, and ultra-slick, making every shave feel like a premium experience. Post-shave, my skin feels silky smooth and nourished. This soap is an absolute must-have!

My favorite Barbershop scent.A&E offers several others but this one just relaxes me from the moment I open the lid and take a whiff. It just brings back childhood memories not necessarily of Barbershops but just of that era, many years ago. It is not powdery at all, it is a classy smelling scent that says lets get this day going. While shaving with this I am invigorated to get the day started. I shave many other Barbershop styles and the only two I have are this one and another A&E. The others were either given or thrown away. I new I would never use them again.

A&E's soap quality is tops so 5 stars for that always.

The scent....is hard to describe. It's on the lighter side without being too faint. All those scents in the description do blend well, so well that I cannot pinpoint one over the other. It's pleasant enough but doesn't jump out and grab me like other A&E scents. Get a sample on Maggard's site so you can see for yourself rather than blindly commit on this one.

By far my FAVORITE barbershop from A&E and from the soap artisan universe. this is exactly what i imagine as a perfect old school barbershop. i will always recommend this as the best old school powdery barbershop.

Great scent, not your traditional barbershop.

Incredible, love the scent, love the leather, love the shave. I might be an exclusively A&E man for life now

killer scent. All of Pete's barbershops are so unique. The only other artisan who has a unique barbershop is Will from B&M. The others all seem the same with minor variations. Don't sllep on this and also Barbiere Classico. this one is bolder with that hint of leather. Bring back Indo Ink, where is it? Also Wake the F' UP. Classics!

LOVE this scent!! It is an amazing "darker" barbershop that has beautiful notes and produces a great lather and shave!

A great take on a barbershop scent.

Excellent
