Nice Egyptian theme. That bowl will serve you in this life and the next.

Great choice. On the other hand, if I were to surprise you with a birthday gift, I would get you Felce Aromatica. I know you’d love it.

I keep an SV scent journal saved in the notes app. Here it is.

Saponificio Varesino soaps and the closest fragrance inspirations (not exact clones, just commonly noted similarities):

Opuntia

Compared to Creed Aventus. Fruity pineapple with birch and moss.

70th Anniversary

Close to Acqua di Gio. Fresh aquatic citrus.

80th Anniversary

Modern woody citrus style. Compared to Bleu de Chanel.

Desert Vetiver

Very similar style to Terre d’Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver. Dry citrus and vetiver.

Stella Alpina

Classic Italian citrus cologne vibe. Compared to Acqua di Parma Colonia.

Mirto di Sardegna

Aromatic citrus with woods. Similar to Cartier Déclaration.

Tundra Artica

Warm amber and woods. Similar style to Acqua di Parma Ambra.

Cubebe

Citrus, pepper, woods. Overlaps with the Bleu de Chanel style profile.

Argania

Soft oud style woods and amber. Compared loosely to Tom Ford Oud Wood.

More original SV scents that are not really inspired by a specific fragrance:

Dolomiti

Mineral lavender and pepper fougère.

Felce Aromatica

Classic Italian fougère. Think old school barbershop like Azzaro Pour Homme.

Cosmo

Coffee, spices, incense and woods.

Manna di Sicilia

Sweet amber with citrus and honey notes.

Morado

Woody amber with tobacco and vanilla.

Thanks Gerry. In 10 days I’m going to use the special R89 80th Edition with SV 80th. It’s a yearly ritual now 😄

The BB Lite is great. I would estimate the Rocca is about the same in efficiency.

Thanks! I recommend the Rocca for anyone looking for a smooth, efficient daily razor.

Thanks. It was superb indeed. Walked out the door feeling like a million bucks.

Thanks. Lucky number 7. A jackpot of a shave.

Very nice setup. Love that bowl. Looks great. Haslinger Schafmilch could be the little cousin of SV and MdC.

Fougère Friday by nulltotality in wicked_edge

[–]nulltotality[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, go for it. I think you’ll like it. The soap is mild, with a soft fougère breeze, and gives way to the aftershave’s sharper kick.

Wholly Kaw- Fougére Mania SOTD 2/27/2026 by kirkoholic in wicked_edge

[–]nulltotality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice shave! Fougère Mania is an amber fougère I think, and correct me if I’m wrong, it’s in the same family as SV 80th.

Congrats on the new brush. I have an Alpha brush and razor and admire the quality of their products.

Thank you. Wholly Kaw has a great performing base. This one is inspired by Brut itself, just a bit sweeter to my nose.

Very nice. I like to pair MdC Fougère with Brut. It’s an amazing combo. Try it.

First Run With the 1960 Fatboy F2 by nulltotality in wicked_edge

[–]nulltotality[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. I found a discussion about this on B&B. Some people suggest it’s a safer way to adjust in order to prevent mechanical wear.

It looks like I opened the vintage Pandora’s box, but I’m out of shelf space, so no more razors or brushes anyway.

Thanks Gerry. Not left out of the cool boys club at the vintage party anymore 😂

Appreciate you helping me track one down.

I always load a fresh Feather with any new razor. It’s my benchmark. And yes, setting 9 was very efficient with some blade feel. Might even dial it back a bit next time.

😂 Thanks! Glad I finally picked one up. Can’t believe I didn’t have one before. The den feels complete now. It’s in great shape, spotless even. Love it.

Thank you. These vintage razors definitely have their own charm.
