  • Santa Maria del Fiore Sapone da Barba

    Santa Maria del Fiore Sapone da Barba is a very soft traditional Italian shaving soap, some people call this style of soap a "firm cream."  It is intended to be used with a shaving brush.  You may either scoop out a dollop, place it into a shaving bowl/mug and proceed to bowl-lather or you can load the soap directly onto the brush by gentling swirling a damp brush right on top of the soap in the jar, then proceed to create the lather right on your face.  Please note, if you introduce water into the soap, make sure to allow the soap to fully dry prior to covering it again with the lid; if you don't allow the soap to dry you run the risk of ruining it.  If you are a new traditional wet shaver, feel free to email me and I can send you some links to lathering tutorials on YouTube.

    For Santa Maria del Fiore we wanted to create a very traditional packaging so we used a heavy glass jar and a special kraft labels.  Kraft labels, although beautiful, are not waterproof so be careful not to damage the label if loading the brush directly on the soap... if you are anal about these things :)

    Ingredients: Stearic Acid, Aqua (Water/Eau), Cocos Nucifera(Coconut) Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance(Parfum), Eucalyptus Globolus Oil, Menthol, Camphor, Lanolin

    Size: 250ml

    Scent: Tabacco Toscano Colonia; think Toscano cigar with hints of vanilla, amber and a backdrop of eucalyptus and menthol.

    Made in Italy (of course!)

    NOTE:  Please note that the Shaving Soap label color may note match the Aftershave label for this item as they were made in different batches.

    These will be made and sold in VERY small batches because of time restraints on the artisan making the soap.  If it's "out of stock" please sign up for the email notification and you will be emailed as soon as it goes back in stock.  

    If you are ordering this soap in the summer months, please be aware that the soap is very soft and can melt and separate if left inside a hot postal truck or hot mailbox for an extended period of time.  Please leave the soap indoors at room temperature for 1 day and it will settle back to its original consistency.  For those living in extremely hot climates like the southern USA (in the summer), it's probably best to order this product in the cooler months of the year where normal outside temperatures are below 80F.

    Now I get why this is always sold out

    I've put off trying Santa Maria del Fiore for years, mainly because it is often sold out. I finally decided to try some on my last order. I will admit, when I first opened the jar to check the scent, I was not too impressed. It wasn't bad, just nothing to write home about. But I gave it a try, amd my goodness, when I applied hot water and starting mixing it with my brush, it came to life! All of these very pleasant aromas started coming out, that I couldn't sense when the soap was dry in the jar! I was really liking it. But of course, all the wonderful aromas in the world won't do it any good if it doesn't well. So how did it perform? Well, it did not disappoint, not at all. I was very pleased with the lather, the lubrication, etc. In fact, I have no complaints at all about this soap. I still can't make up my mind which is my favorite; I'm always rotating between a few different soaps each time I shave, but this one will definitely be a permanent member of that rotation.

    Great Soap

    First, I want to say the soap itself has nothing wrong with it, is slick as H... impressive cushion and superb scent.
    it is my first RR soap and the only regret I have is I should´ve bought it sooner.
    I´ve read that the label isn´t waterproof but seems like isn´t longer true. (I don’t want to test it and be wrong, so I´ll keep it away from the water just in case)
    The one star taken off was not because of the soap itself, but because of whomever packed it for shipping took the time to pack it in a smaller box with shipping peanuts at all, BUT put a top razor cap I bought inside with it, damaging the soap lid and label, that kind of bothered me when I saw it. other than that, I´m happy with the purchase.

    Very nice shave soap.

    On my 2nd glass jar and bought it on sale again, this soap has a nice fragrance of Vanilla, light tobacco, amber and some Eucalyptus. A person could look a long time to find such a great soap with excellent scent and excellent lather qualities. The Santa Maria del Fiore aftershave is a little different than the soap fragrance with less Vanilla scent to my sense of smell and that is the only important scent note on the aftershave i wish was stronger(still a decent splash). You get 250ml or 8.75 OZ of soap for a very good deal when on sale for just under $2.00 Canadian.
    Whips up such a nice creamy lather in no time in my lather bowl and I like to leave my bowl sit on the counter as a air freshener if any lather is left over from shaving that is how good a scent it is IMO.
    Thanks Italian barber for making shaving so interesting with the nice quality fragrance scented soaps & other quality razor products I have purchased over the last 5 years.

    Great Scent, Great Performance

    Finally finished this massive jar of soap and decided to give it a review.
    As many have pointed out the scent is just lovely and not too overbearing. Great for people that put on aftershave or Fragrances and don't want the scents to clash, the scent will last about 30 minutes longer post shave and have a great scent bubble while shaving.
    Performance is as good as it needs to be. Slick and very protective during the shave.
    my only gripe would be for me loading from the jar was a bit annoying, if you're like me and cant stand the clinging sound of glass jar smacking against your brush then i suggest you bowl load or lather.
    hope this comes back in stock soon.

    Better than classic.

    SMDF is the perfect creation for an elegant and smooth shave; the scent really does remind me of an Italian barber shop, timeless tradition mixed with a top quality product. Please keep stocking this, with the splash.
