The Goodfellas' Smile Shibusa 2 Shaving Soap

Shibusa 2 represents a complete formula and fragrance revision — a tallow-based shaving cream of considered elegance, inspired by the refined Italian aesthetic of Acqua di Parma. Sweet, slightly pungent, and distinctly sophisticated, it is an asset for operatives who appreciate the classical barbershop tradition rendered through a contemporary lens.

Fragrance Profile

Inspired by Acqua di Parma, Shibusa 2 opens with a distinctive almond character — formulated specifically without benzoic aldehyde, ensuring a clean, allergen-conscious rendition of the classic note. Heart Notes of anise, peach, and ylang ylang introduce a sweet, slightly anisic complexity that gives the composition genuine personality. Base Notes of vanilla and white musk provide a soft, enveloping dry-down of lasting presence.

Tallow Formula Performance

Shibusa 2 belongs to The Goodfellas' Smile's tallow-based collection — alongside Tallow No.1, Inferno, and Gengi & Candy — and brings the performance advantages of animal fat to the lathering experience. Tallow produces a dense, creamy lather with excellent cushion and a protective film over the skin that promotes smooth, reliable blade glide. Packaged in the brand's 'I Am Green' bioplastic jar manufactured from renewable sugar cane.
