What makes The Goodfellas Smile shaving soaps different from the rest?
If you've tried soaps that lather up but don't let the blade glide, or that leave your skin feeling dry after shaving, then you understand why the formula matters. Goodfellas Smile soaps are made through hot saponification using the exclusive AJ-1 vegetable formula — based on four certified pure oils (argan, jojoba, coconut, almond) that make up over 35% of the composition. That means rich, slick lather with real moisturisation for your skin.
Are they soft soaps or hard — and how do I build lather?
If you're used to hard pucks, the texture might throw you off at first. Goodfellas Smile soaps are soft soaps — croaps, as they're known in wet shaving. They contain no added glycerin, so they need a bit more water when building lather. Wet brush, 25-30 seconds of circular motions on the soap, then build your lather in a bowl or directly on your face.
Are Goodfellas Smile safety razors worth it compared to other brands?
If you're looking for a safety razor that's entirely designed and manufactured in Italy, the Goodfellas Smile range stands out. From the Styletto with CNC-machined aluminium to the Legione slant that took nearly a year of development — each model has its own shaving philosophy. The 303 AISI stainless steel handle with hard chrome coating makes them essentially built to last a lifetime.
What soap scents are available and how do I choose?
Choosing a scent is very personal, and many customers hesitate because they can't smell products online. The Goodfellas Smile range includes fragrances from fresh citrus (Abysso, Sea Citrus) to heavy leather and wood (Furiah, Inferno), along with tallow-based versions like Shibusa 2 for those who prefer animal fat in their formula. If you're unsure what suits you, start with a fresh scent — it's easier for everyday use.
Does Goodfellas Smile offer aftershave and pre-shave products?
If you want a complete routine from a single brand, Goodfellas Smile has you covered. The Dawn of Glory Pre-Shave Gel softens the hair without altering the scent of your soap, while their aftershave lotions (such as Tyrannus) tone and refresh the skin after shaving. This means you can build a complete shaving ritual without having to mix and match different brands for each step.
