The GoodFellas Smile Re Nero Shaving Soap 3.4oz

Best For: Traditional wet shavers who enjoy citrus, spice, woods, and earthy fragrances, as well as those seeking a concentrated Italian shaving soap featuring mare's milk and blackcurrant seed oil.

The GoodFellas Smile Re Nero Shaving Soap is an Italian shaving soap inspired by the connection between man, earth, and the natural elements. Its fragrance moves from bright citrus and aromatic neroli through spicy black pepper and orange blossom before settling into an earthy foundation of patchouli, cedarwood, and vetiver.

Re Nero distinguishes itself with a concentrated, glycerin-free formula featuring mare's milk and blackcurrant seed oil. Only a small amount of soap is needed to produce a full shaving lather, while gradual hydration helps unlock the formula's performance.

Scent Notes

• Top Notes: Orange, Grapefruit, Neroli
• Heart Notes: Black Pepper, Pelargonium, Orange Blossom
• Base Notes: Patchouli, Cedarwood, Vetiver

The scent profile opens with bright orange and grapefruit accented by aromatic neroli. Black pepper introduces a dry, spicy character alongside pelargonium and the softer sweetness of orange blossom. Patchouli, cedarwood, and vetiver create an earthy, woody foundation that gives Re Nero its deeper, grounded finish.

Performance Profile

Re Nero is a highly concentrated shaving soap formulated without added glycerin. Because of this, it may require more water during lathering than many conventional shaving soaps. A small amount goes a long way, and gradually introducing water helps develop a properly hydrated shaving lather.

The formula features two distinctive ingredients: mare's milk and blackcurrant seed oil. Mare's milk contains lactoferrin and is incorporated for its skin-conditioning properties. Blackcurrant seed oil is naturally rich in flavonoids and vitamin C and contains gamma linoleic acid, commonly abbreviated as GLA. Together, these ingredients give Re Nero a formula that stands apart from more conventional shaving soaps.

A Word from the Manufacturer

Re Nero represents man's bond with the earth and a respectful balance with the elements that compose it. The fragrance is designed to evoke a return to one's origins, combining the depth of woods and pepper with the sweetness of orange blossom.

The GoodFellas Smile selected mare's milk and blackcurrant oil as two particularly distinctive ingredients within the Re Nero formula.

Mare's Milk: Characterized by lactoferrin, a protein valued by the manufacturer for its skin-focused properties.

Blackcurrant Oil: Rich in flavonoids and vitamin C and containing GLA (gamma linoleic acid), blackcurrant oil is included to nourish and help maintain healthy, hydrated skin.

Directions for Use

Bowl Lathering: Wet your shaving brush with warm water and shake out the excess. Gently swirl the brush over the shaving soap for approximately 25 to 30 seconds. Continue building the lather in a shaving bowl, gradually adding water as the soap requires it. Apply the finished lather to the face using circular movements to help lift and soften the whiskers. Add additional water if necessary.

Face Lathering: Wet your shaving brush and shake out the excess water. Gently swirl the brush over the shaving soap for approximately 25 to 30 seconds, then continue building the lather directly on your face. Add water as required and use circular strokes to lift and soften the whiskers.

Important: Re Nero contains no added glycerin and may require more water during lathering than many other shaving soaps. Add water gradually until the desired lather consistency is achieved.

Pro Tip

Do not judge Re Nero's lather too early. Because the formula contains no added glycerin, it can take more water than you might expect. Load your brush for approximately 25 to 30 seconds, then introduce water gradually while continuing to work the lather. A little soap goes a long way, so focus on proper hydration rather than loading an excessive amount of product.
