The GoodFellas Smile Tyrannus Shaving Soap 3.4oz

Product Overview

The GoodFellas Smile Tyrannus Shaving Soap combines bright citrus, aromatic spices, earthy woods, and leather with the brand's proprietary vegetable-based AJ-1 shaving soap formula. Mandarin and bergamot provide a fresh, energetic opening before violet leaf, nutmeg, and clove introduce a warmer, more complex heart. Vetiver, patchouli, and leather form the foundation, giving Tyrannus its strong, masculine character.

Made in Italy using a hot saponification process and an exclusive system for mixing raw materials, Tyrannus is a soft shaving soap commonly referred to by traditional wet shavers as a "croap." Its 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 Italian vegetable-based shaving soap pairing fresh mandarin and bergamot with violet leaf, nutmeg, clove, earthy vetiver, patchouli, and leather for a bold fragrance with citrus freshness, spicy warmth, and a masculine finish.

Scent Notes

Top Notes: Mandarin, Bergamot

Heart Notes: Violet Leaf, Nutmeg, Clove

Base Notes: Vetiver, Patchouli, Leather

Fragrance Style: Citrus, Spicy, Earthy, Woody, Leather

Tyrannus opens with the freshness and vitality of mandarin and bergamot. As the citrus begins to settle, violet leaf introduces a refined green character while nutmeg and clove add warmth and aromatic spice. Vetiver and patchouli deepen the composition before leather emerges in the base, creating an earthy, woody, and distinctly masculine finish.

Best For

Traditional wet shavers who enjoy masculine fragrances that combine fresh citrus with warm spices, earthy woods, and leather. Tyrannus is particularly well suited to those who appreciate vetiver and patchouli but want their darker character balanced by a brighter citrus opening.

Performance Profile

The GoodFellas Smile Tyrannus 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.

Tyrannus contains no added glycerin. As a result, it may require more water during lathering than many other shaving soaps. The formula is highly concentrated, so a relatively small amount can produce plenty of 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 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

The AJ-1 formula uses a large quantity of beneficial oils to help support skin hydration, protection, elasticity, and smoothness while providing the cushion and glide expected from a traditional shaving soap.

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: Tyrannus contains no added glycerin and may require more water during lathering than many other shaving soaps. Introduce water gradually until the lather develops a properly hydrated, creamy, and slick consistency.

Pro Tip

Tyrannus is highly concentrated, so avoid overloading your brush. Start with a damp shaving brush and load for approximately 25 to 30 seconds, then introduce water gradually as you build the lather. Because the AJ-1 formula contains no added glycerin, continue adding small amounts of water until the lather becomes creamy, glossy, and slick.
