Italian Shaving Soaps

Italian shaving soaps are a cornerstone of traditional wet shaving. Crafted with care by skilled soap makers, they reflect generations of experience and an attention to detail that goes beyond the label. What sets many of these soaps apart is their texture and performance. Some come as hard pucks that require a firm brush load, while others are made as soft soaps, also known as croaps. A croap has a texture somewhere between a cream and a hard soap, making it easy to lather quickly while still offering the richness and protection of a traditional shave soap.

Behind the variety of textures lies a rich tradition of manufacturing techniques. Many Italian soaps are produced using a hot saponification process, in which oils and alkaline solutions are heated together and then poured while still warm. Brands like Proraso let their soaps mature in temperature-controlled chambers for 10 to 15 days, developing a dense, stable bar that produces a creamy, cushioning lather from the very first use.

Some brands, such as Saponificio Varesino, take it further by triple milling their shaving soaps. This process presses the soap through heavy rollers multiple times to remove moisture, refine the texture, and create a long-lasting, ultra-dense bar ideal for traditional lathering.

Others, like Cella Milano, produce their classic soft soaps through a meticulous hot-mix method. Vegetable oils and fats are brought to the fusion point in steam boilers, combined with carefully measured alkaline solutions, and gently stirred until fully saponified. The resulting cream is transferred to special containers called marne, where it matures in a controlled environment, developing its signature pearlescent finish and mild, skin-friendly structure.

Scent is often where Italian soaps truly stand out. From the bright citrusy fragrances of the Amalfi Coast to the earthy, musky aromas of Tuscany, many brands draw inspiration from regional ingredients and classic perfumery traditions. You’ll also notice the packaging, which is often elegant, bold, and always rooted in design that feels personal rather than mass produced.

If you enjoy the process of shaving as much as the result, Italian soaps offer something tactile and rewarding. We’ve brought together a wide selection of Italy’s finest brands so you can explore what makes this style of shaving so enduring and distinctive.

What Is the Difference Between Italian Shaving Soaps and Classic Shaving Soaps?

Italian shaving soaps and classic shaving soaps differ in key aspects. Italian shaving products prioritize natural ingredients like shea butter and essential oils, resulting in rich, moisturizing lathers that protect the skin. 

They're celebrated for diverse, captivating scents, often unique and evocative of Italy. The lather produced offers exceptional cushion and glide, reducing the risk of nicks and cuts. 

Many Italian shaving products are crafted using artisanal methods, presenting not only effective but beautifully designed products. In contrast, classic shaving soaps vary in ingredients and performance. 

The choice between them hinges on personal preferences for scent, lathering, and the overall shaving experience.

How do you use Italian shaving soap?

Using Italian shaving soap is an enjoyable and straightforward process:

  1. Wet your shaving brush thoroughly and shake off excess water.
  2. Swirl the damp brush over the surface of the soap to load it with product.
  3. Transfer the loaded brush to a shaving bowl or directly to your face, and work the soap into a rich lather using circular motions.
  4. Apply the lather evenly to your beard area.
  5. Shave with your preferred razor, following the direction of hair growth.

Rinse your face with cool water and apply an after shave product to soothe and moisturize your skin.
