SV one of the my 3 or 4 favorites with Abbateylamantia no. 1, and Zingari and Southern and Witchcraft. Saponificio Varesino for the Fragrances is undisputed no. 1 for elegance. Try also the not shaving products, soaps bath and shover, hydratation cream and so on.... Wonderful
@@TheVirtualGroomroom absolutely Jack. The 70th anniversary is essentially SV’s unofficial take on a really well known and popular aquatic fragrance; Aqua Di Geo. It’s a very fresh, aquatic scent with a what I would describe as a light citrusy base. It’s very much in the typical style of Italian colonia aquatic scents. IMHO I actually very much prefer SV’s interpretation of the scent in both the after shave and soap. It’s actually has a cult following a little bit and it was my first soap of SV and will always go back to it. They haven’t reformulated it into the 4.3 as it’s still the 4.1 base but it’s still amazing. Not quite as creamy and luxurious as the 4.3 but we are really splitting hairs at that point considering the price point and I bought it when their pricing was considerable lower. And since they came out the EDP they have completed a set. It’s quite truly a unique scent that’s well praised. Barber Dave is a brand ambassador of company and his video on the soap might help shed some light on it! It’s just an iconic scent for those who’ve used their products. Very much how Woolfat has a original and unique soapy scent. Wish I could latter that thing better so I could use it more. Hope that helps. Cheers from a cheeky Irishman to a Englishman.

From what you say about SV, Jack, I definitely think that you are paying for the image of luxury and the connotations that go with it. Great first Duck outing, mate!
SV is outstanding stuff, super luxurious. Is it particularly more mass produced than say a Barrister & Mann? It's outstanding stuff that I can't picture reaching the multitudes. If Italian's are more prone to wetshaving I see them reaching for Proraso or Cella as the mass produced soap of choice.
Nice haircut bro really suits you, would you be able to do a comprehensive video on how to lather with a badger brush, would really appreciate it I know you have alot of experience in this department
@@TheVirtualGroomroom hello mate I know you to be a man of your word so just checking if you are still making the lather tutorial video been waiting awhile really looking forward to seeing it
Great shave and beautiful duck! I’ve always really enjoyed SV… I find it to be incredibly slick and the scents are high quality. My favorites are probably Felce Aromatica and Cosmo (Cosmo would be #1 if it were stronger scent wise)… I also really like Tundra Artica which I don’t see many use… it’s a bit darker and features Oud, it’s lovely too! But honestly, pretty much whatever soap/scent SV releases seems well thought out, planned, researched, and executed. The price over the years has continued to increase which I’m not a fan of lol… I don’t think that the new versions/bases are that superior to the older SV soaps to justify much of a price increase (for me). My only other complaint would be the tins… I’ll give them credit though, as their tins actually look very attractive (at least initially lol) but unfortunately they just don’t seem to hold up and most get dented/beat up. The Cosmo tin I have from them is very robust though (and attractive) so if they’re set on using tins, I’d prefer they use that style of tin for their other releases. But I’m nit picking a bit.
Jack nice shave. Do the SV splashes smell exactly like the soaps? I have a few samples of splashes and was wondering. Not going to blind buy this stuff.
SV Soap is Great 👍🏼 Arctica Thundra is amazing scent and Performace 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼I have never tried the one your using maybe down the road.. Off topic I have tried B&M Nordost OmniBus Base I really liked it scent and Performace Amazing… Great Video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Alan H
@@TheVirtualGroomroom Still trying to decide where to start with SV. None of the scent descriptions really jump out at me though. Desert Vetiver, Felce Aromatica or Cubebe, most likely...
My favourite from SV is manna de Sicilia 👌
Nice shave. I've always liked the SV soaps. I don't use them a ton but I do like them.
Thanks Chris, you can't really go wrong.

I've never used any of their non-shaving products. I probably should though
This and the 70th anniversary are my two SV soaps that are mandatory in my den! 😁😁😁
I haven't tried the 70th anniversary, would you describe it??

Your new DoubleDuck really is a very attractive looking razor, in a very classy kind of way.
It is a beautiful looking razor, Good thing it shaves well too

I think so too, it's definitely not cheap.

This is certainly produced in higher numbers than any of the artisanal products. The only limit it has is cost.

Thank you for the compliment. Yeah I think I could do that, I'll put a video together.
@@TheVirtualGroomroom no worries thanks so much mate looking forward to it :)

That's really the biggest downside, a set of this is around $80 and that's very expensive. The performance is unquestionable though
Jack nice shave. Do the SV splashes smell exactly like the soaps? I have a few samples of splashes and was wondering. Not going to blind buy this stuff.
Yes I would say they are identical.
Is there a way to link the site(s) for the razors? Good shave as always.
Duly noted

Nordost is great!
@@TheVirtualGroomroom I really enjoyed it 👍🏼quite a lot, Will did amazing Job on it.

Is this scent similar to grey vetiver by Tom ford?
I'd say this is a little drier then Grey Vetiver
great video. what's your favorite sv scent?
Probably this one honestly. How about you?

Hey, Jack…
Hey Calvin!
🙋 Promo_SM!
First rate bloopage, Jack. You were making a right old mess from the get go🤭
That was plenty of it in this video. The lather was very well hydrated if I do say so myself
