Yesterday I started unpacking my household goods shipping boxes and the first box I opened contained all of my shaving soaps, post-shave items, razors and blades. One of the first soaps I saw was Varen, so I grabbed it to use today. On Tuesday u/tsrblke mentioned that SIM would pair well with Varen, so I decided to post with the Moos.
Similar to The Tsar, I've used the Varen balm multiple times, but today was my first use of the Varen soap. The mutton tallow base is awesome! I really enjoyed the shave and capping it off with a splash of Moos was icing on the cake. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
