I haven't seen anything here about this "new" range of soaps. I use the quotes because while this soap is new to the RazoRock brand it's been around for a little while & consistently receiving high praise. The other brand name associated with this soap is Tcheon Fung Sing (TFS). While that sounds Asian, this is actually an Italian soft soap. There is no tallow in it at all. Instead it boasts a very high quality coconut oil for its fat base. I've been very interested in the TFS soaps for awhile but they were pricey to get & even pricier to ship. I haven't priced it lately but when I did it was about $30 + shipping for a single tub.
Now enter Joe from Italian Barber who gets with TFS & strikes a deal to be the North American distributor of TFS, just under his RazoRock brand. He also buys in such a bulk that he can then pass the savings on to us. His regular price for each tub of La Famiglia will be $6.99 for this previously $30+ soap. I say will be, because right now he's offering a launch sale for the first week where he's selling it for $3.99 per tub. These soaps went on his site on Tueesday & will be on sale for 1 week or until he sells out, whichever comes first.
There are 4 scents. As I understand it only the scents are different and here they are...
Don Marco (bergamot & neroli)
Cumba Cheech (orange blossom & jasmine)
Zi' Peppino (green tobacco)
Nonno Michelino (sandalwood)
I ended up getting 10 tubs! First, I can't pass up a deal like this. We're talking about a 90% discount compared to costs before the RazoRock rebrand. Second, I wanted to get up to the free shipping mark & I only needed 1 other item at the time (TABAC in the bowl). I should be receiving my order by Monday or Tuesday next week. It's already making its way to me as I type. I will give my impressions after some use but wanted this info up sooner so more could take advantage of this great deal while it lasts.
