Imported from Italy, this classic Italian shave cream soap has been family made since the early 1900's. The Figaro soap is a classic, almond scented soft, creamy soap, as used by Italian barbers and especially suitable for sensitive skin. This is also manufactured by the same company who made P.160 and is a direct replacement for this product! Unbeatable value and well worth a try.
Product can be used directly from pot and simply work the top of the soap with a wet (not soaking) shaving brush until the bristles are 'loaded' with shaving soap. Now apply the soap to the areas to be shaved, using the shaving brush in a strong circular motion. This softens the hairs and also raises them ready for shaving. When finished briefly rinse the top of the soap and shake excess water off before replacing the top.
All skin types & especially suited to sensitive skin
After applying the first shaving lather do not rinse your brush or soap. After your first pass add a little more water to your brush and then apply a thinner lather for your second pass. Never shave an area without a lather.
Aqua, stearic acid, palmitic acid, cocos nucifera, potassium hydroxide, glycerin, myristic acid, PEG-150 distearate, jojoba wax, parfum, benzyl alcohol, tetra sodium EDTA.

The lather produced is good and so is the price but the almond/marzipan perfume is much too strong for me.

First encountered this shaving soap many years ago in a branch of Aqua e Sapone in Rome, when it was 1000 lire a pot, and always tried to bring some back with us on subsequent trips to Italy. Delighted to find it available through Maguires, whose service (as others have said) is excellent. Figaro is indeed simply the best.

This soap is just superb it lathers vey easily and is really smooth on my skin. It never leaves my face dry and the smell is just great.I only found this by accident but I will use it along as I can purchase it. The price for a soap like this is excellent.. Excellent service from Maguires.

A good soap, good lather, and for £4 you can't knock the price.
Very intense marzipan smell which I hope fades but wasn't off putting when using.
A very decent alternative to other Italian soft soaps,

Have used several times before - one of the best shaving creams around with pleasant almond fragrance
