Description

Product Overview

Barbose Sera is the evening soap. Sera is Italian for evening, and the fragrance matches: apple, peach and anise at the top, a broad floral and coniferous heart of violet, rose, jasmine, pine and thuja, and a base of musk, patchouli and tonka bean.

It is a soft soap cream, 150 ml. Mango butter and shea butter give the lather its body, and castor and argan oils are what stay behind on the skin once the blade has passed.

What This Soap Cream Does

A soft soap cream sits between a hard puck and a tube cream. It loads onto a wet brush in seconds rather than needing a minute of swirling, and it still builds the dense, structured lather that a tube cream cannot. That combination is why Italian barbershops have used soap creams for decades.

The base is the same across the range: mango butter and shea butter with castor and argan oils. Those are what give the lather its body and what stays on the skin once the blade has passed.

Who This Is Best For

Evening shavers
A settled, woody-floral scent for a shave taken at the end of the day.
Brush users
Loads straight from the jar with any brush type.
Delicate skin
Described as suited to delicate skin, with emollient oils in the base.

How To Lather It

Soften the brush in warm water and shake off the excess, then work it in circular movements on the soap until a dense cream forms. Build the lather on the face or in a bowl, adding water a few drops at a time until it turns glossy and holds a peak.

A soft soap cream loads faster than a hard puck. Take less than you would from a puck and add water sooner.

Care and Storage

Close the jar after use and keep it somewhere dry. Do not leave standing water on the surface. Stored closed, a shaving soap keeps for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it a soap or a cream?
A soft soap cream, sometimes called a croap: a cross between a shave soap and a shave cream. It is loaded with a wet brush like a soap, but it is far softer than a hard puck and loads in seconds.
How do I get a good lather from it?
Soften the brush in warm water, shake off the excess and work it in circles on the soap until a dense cream forms. Then add water a few drops at a time. Most thin lathers come from too little soap, and most bubbly ones from too much water at once.
What does Sera mean?
Evening, in Italian. TFS names the Barbose soaps by time of day, and this is the evening one.
How big is the jar?
150 ml, which is 5 oz. At a fraction of a teaspoon per shave it lasts months of daily use.
What is in it?
Aqua (Water), Stearic Acid, Cocos Nucifera Oil, Castor oil, Parfum (Fragrance), Potassium Hydroxide, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Carbonate, Alpha Isomethylionone, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene
Which brush should I use?
Any. A soft soap cream does not need the backbone a hard puck does, so badger, boar and synthetic all work.
Will it work with a straight razor?
Yes. A dense soap cream lather is what a straight razor wants, because the cushion matters more when there is no guard between the edge and the skin.
Where is it made?
Tcheon Fung Sing has been making soaps and shaving creams in Turin since 1945, by artisan methods. This soap is made in Italy.
