What is Tcheon Fung Sing and where does it come from?
Tcheon Fung Sing (TFS) was founded in 1945 in Turin, Italy by its namesake founder — a Chinese master soapmaker who emigrated to Italy in 1930 and married an Italian woman. In 1951 he won the Gold Medal for shaving products at the inaugural Turin Fair. Today, three generations later, his granddaughter Paola Barile continues making the soaps using the same handmade methods.
What makes TFS soaps different from other brands?
Every TFS soap is 100% vegetable-based — no animal fats, no preservatives. Their longevity is guaranteed solely by the handmade production process. The lather is dense and creamy with excellent slickness, and the fragrances — from classic almond to wine and rose — are distinctive and far from generic.
What is the TFS Rasozero line?
Rasozero is TFS's most affordable line, but don't underestimate it. It uses the same vegetable base and handmade technique. The lather builds easily, holds steady throughout the shave and doesn't irritate — many users actually prefer it over more expensive artisan soaps.
Are TFS products suitable for sensitive skin?
The vegetable-based formula without preservatives makes them ideal if your skin reacts easily. The classic almond line is the gentlest — it nourishes and hydrates without any stinging. If you want something refreshing after the shave, the TFS aftershaves provide hydration without alcohol.
How long does a TFS soap last?
TFS soaps have a semi-soft texture (croap) — softer than a hard puck but denser than a cream. This means you load the brush easily without waste. A 125-150g jar lasts 3-5 months of daily use, depending on how heavily you load.
Where can I buy Tcheon Fung Sing products?
Tcheon Fung Sing products are available at HairMaker.Gr, including shaving soaps, creams and aftershaves. Shipping is available across Greece, Cyprus and internationally — worldwide shipping with no restrictions.
