Abbate Y La Mantia Matteo 9-11 硬式刮鬍皂 80g

The spicy-woody scent with that dried fruit edge is genuinely distinctive, and the hard soap lathers up thick enough for a full three-pass shave without drying out mid-pass. It's the kind of soap that makes you slow down and enjoy the ritual.

I’ve been using this soap for a few weeks and the saffron ingredient really stands out—gives a smooth, protective lather that stays wet throughout a full shave. The woody and dried fruit scent is subtle but lingers nicely.

The lather is dense and creamy, but not slick enough for my straight razor—I had to add extra water mid-pass. The spicy and woody scent lingers nicely without being overwhelming. Three stars because it's a solid performer, just not the smoothest glide I've had.
