Before 2016, I was focused on shaving creams, not soaps. My staples were XPEC, Salter, Wm Neumann (awesome stuff), Castle Forbes, etc. I used some soaps (primarily Tabac), but not much. At some point early this year, I branched out. I bought at least 25 soaps this year, and haven't been disappointed yet. I've loved all my 2016 acquisitions, including Mike's, CRSW, B&M, MdC, Phoenix & Beau, Eufros, Tabula Rasa, etc. But one really stands out.
Nuavia is a magical lathering solution. It's an expensive upfront purchase, but like MdC, it seems to last forever. I'm pretty sure the per-shave cost of Nuavia does not exceed the other soaps I mentioned. Yet, unlike the others, it has it all going on. I've got all three Nuavias, and love both the Rosso and the Blu (the Verde is a fleeting aquatic scent that doesn't float my boat, but the performance matches the other two). The scent, performance and post-shave feel of Nuavia Red and Blue is above the rest I've tried this year. I sort of hope they don't release another scent, as I'm pretty sure I'll never get through the three I've already got.
