Product Overview
The GoodFellas Smile Shibusa 2 Shaving Soap is a soft, tallow-based Italian shaving soap created for a richly cushioned lather with excellent lubrication and glide. Its warm, sweet, and sensual fragrance combines an almond-inspired opening with aromatic star anise, bright citrus, soft fruits, florals, vanilla, balsam, musk, and cedar for a distinctive scent designed to feel both comforting and sophisticated.
Shibusa 2 was completely reformulated and reimagined in December 2019, including both its shaving soap formula and fragrance. Inspired by the elegant almond character associated with Acqua di Parma, the composition develops beyond its opening with peach, jasmine, ylang ylang, vanilla, Tolu balsam, white musk, and cedar. The result is a sweet fragrance with a subtly pungent aromatic edge.
Quick Take
A concentrated, tallow-based Italian croap offering excellent cushion and lubrication with a warm fragrance of almond, star anise, citrus, peach, jasmine, ylang ylang, vanilla, Tolu balsam, white musk, and cedar.
Scent Notes
Top Notes: Almond, Star Anise, Orange, Bergamot
Heart Notes: Peach, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang
Base Notes: Vanilla, Tolu Balsam, White Musk, Cedar
Fragrance Style: Warm, Sweet, Aromatic, Floral
Shibusa 2 opens with a sweet almond impression accented by the distinctive aromatic character of star anise and the brightness of orange and bergamot. Peach introduces a soft fruitiness as jasmine and ylang ylang develop through the floral heart. Vanilla and Tolu balsam bring warmth and sweetness to the base, while white musk and cedar provide a smooth, grounded finish.
Best For
Traditional wet shavers who enjoy warm, sweet, almond-forward fragrances with aromatic spice, fruit, florals, vanilla, balsam, musk, and woods. Its tallow-based formula also makes Shibusa 2 an excellent choice for those who prioritize a cushioned, well-lubricated shaving lather.
Performance Profile
Shibusa 2 is a tallow-based soft shaving soap, commonly referred to by wet shavers as a croap. The formula is designed to create a highly cushioned lather with excellent lubrication and glide, helping provide a protective layer between the razor and skin throughout the shave.
The GoodFellas Smile produces its shaving soaps using a hot saponification process combined with an innovative and exclusive system for mixing the raw materials. Shibusa 2 is highly concentrated and contains no added glycerin. Because of this, it may require more water during lathering than many other shaving soaps.
A little goes a long way. Gradually introducing water while working the lather helps unlock the soap's full performance and develop the properly hydrated consistency needed for excellent razor glide.
A Word from the Manufacturer
The GoodFellas Smile was born in 2011 with the mission to create products crafted in Italy with superb quality at an affordable price. The selection of fine raw materials and ingredients is one of the team's priorities, with formulations created with the goal of exceeding customer expectations.
Shibusa 2 is a tallow-based soap of animal origin that provides a very cushiony lather with excellent lubrication. Its fragrance is warm, sweet, and sensual, conceived as a sensorial and stimulating journey ideal for romantic and sparkling evenings.
Completely revisited in both formula and fragrance in December 2019, Shibusa 2 was deliberately inspired by Acqua di Parma and its memorable almond character. The almond accord is strictly free of benzoic aldehyde and is complemented by star anise, peach, ylang ylang, vanilla, white musk, and other supporting notes to create a sweet and slightly pungent fragrance.
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 small amounts of water as the soap requires. Apply the finished lather to the face using circular movements to help lift and soften the whiskers. Add additional water to the brush if necessary.
Face Lathering: Wet your shaving brush with water and shake out the excess. Gently swirl the brush over the shaving soap for approximately 25 to 30 seconds, then continue building the lather directly on the face. If required, add additional water and use circular strokes to lift and soften the whiskers.
Important: Shibusa 2 contains no added glycerin and may require more water during lathering than many other shaving soaps. Add water gradually until the lather develops a properly hydrated, creamy, and slick consistency.
