The GoodFellas Smile Solo Shaving Soap 3.4oz

Product Overview

The GoodFellas Smile Solo Shaving Soap is a bold, sophisticated Italian shaving soap built around the brand's proprietary vegetable-based AJ-1 formula. Solo opens with an energetic combination of citrus, mandarin, lemon, and eucalyptus before revealing a floral and aromatic heart of jasmine, lily of the valley, gardenia, and clary sage. Indian sandalwood helps define the fragrance as it develops into a warm base of woods, amber, musk, tonka bean, and vetiver.

Made in Italy using a hot saponification process and an exclusive system for mixing raw materials, Solo is a soft shaving soap commonly referred to by traditional wet shavers as a "croap." The concentrated AJ-1 formula features argan oil, jojoba oil, pure sweet almond oil, and pure coconut oil, with these four oils representing more than 35% of the total volume of the shaving soap.

Quick Take

A concentrated, vegetable-based Italian shaving soap with a confident fragrance of mandarin, lemon, eucalyptus, jasmine, gardenia, sandalwood, amber, musk, tonka bean, and vetiver, paired with The GoodFellas Smile's oil-rich AJ-1 formula.

Scent Notes

Top Notes: Citrus, Mandarin, Lemon, Eucalyptus

Heart Notes: Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Gardenia, Clary Sage

Base Notes: Woods, Amber, Sandalwood, Musk, Tonka Bean, Vetiver

Fragrance Style: Citrus, Aromatic, Floral, Woody, Amber

Solo begins with bright citrus as mandarin and lemon mingle with the crisp aromatic freshness of eucalyptus. Jasmine, lily of the valley, gardenia, and clary sage add a refined floral and herbal character through the heart. The fragrance then becomes warmer and deeper as woods, amber, sandalwood, musk, tonka bean, and vetiver create a smooth, confident foundation.

Best For

Traditional wet shavers who enjoy sophisticated fragrances that transition from bright citrus and aromatics into florals and warm woods. Solo is particularly well suited to those who appreciate sandalwood, amber, musk, tonka bean, and vetiver but want them balanced by a fresh, energetic opening.

Performance Profile

The GoodFellas Smile Solo uses the proprietary vegetable-based AJ-1 formula, built around four certified pure oils: argan oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and coconut oil. Together, these oils represent more than 35% of the total volume of the shaving soap and are incorporated into a formula designed to support hydration, protection, elasticity, and smoothness.

The soap is produced using a hot saponification process combined with The GoodFellas Smile's innovative and exclusive system for mixing raw materials. Its soft croap-like consistency loads easily with a shaving brush and is formulated to create a high-performing, balanced lather with remarkable cushion and glide.

Solo contains no added glycerin. As a result, it may require more water during lathering than many other shaving soaps. The formula is also highly concentrated, so a relatively small amount of soap can produce enough lather for a complete shave.

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 crafted with the goal of exceeding customer expectations.

The GoodFellas Smile shaving soap was created with the proprietary vegetable AJ-1 formula, based on four certified pure oils that represent more than 35% of the total volume of the shaving soap:

• Argan Oil
• Jojoba Oil
• Pure Sweet Almond Oil
• Pure Coconut Oil

Solo is a bold composition full of personality that opens with elusive notes of mandarin blending with the intensity of Indian sandalwood. Seductive and charming, its combination of citrus, florals, aromatics, woods, amber, musk, tonka bean, and vetiver creates a fragrance with both freshness and depth.

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. Add water as required and use circular strokes to lift and soften the whiskers.

Important: Solo 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.

Pro Tip

Solo is highly concentrated, so avoid overloading your brush. Start with a damp brush and load for approximately 25 to 30 seconds, then gradually introduce water while building the lather. Because the AJ-1 formula contains no added glycerin, it can handle more water than you might initially expect. Continue hydrating until the lather becomes creamy, glossy, and slick.
