Thanks to Riccardo Tafuto, I saw this English line.
In his SOTD today, he shows and explains the qualities.

This is the manufacturer’s website.

These three products are winners of the 2023 Beauty Shortlist Awards.

This is the list of ingredients. (INCI)


One interesting detail is that it is 100% Made in UK.
But the part that immediately intrigued me is the composition.
Where three strongly soothing components stand out:
○ Ribes Nigrum
○ Cardiospermum Halicacabum
○ Tocopherol
All used in pharmacology.

The rest of the functional is well harmonized.
To create a complex and complete action.
Where skin conditioning is real.

With an excellent q/p ratio, which is unusual.
In short, a beautiful discovery.

About the fragrance, the manufacturer answered me.

Now, as for the fragrance notes, we’ve got the following:
Top notes - Plum, Raspberry, Bergamot
Medium notes - Violet, Geranium, Clary Sage, Almond
Basic notes - Amber, Warm Woods, Vanilla
To be honest though, most of the notes aren’t noticeable due to our fragrance being very mild.

Also regarding the information on the product pages.
In fact I asked if it was possible to add:
• INCI
• fragrance
• instructions for use

Finally, thank you so much for your suggestions. We’re revamping our website.
So that all the info you indicated will be included in each product page in a tasteful and informative manner.

But as always, the best comes at the end. The so-called eyelash on the cake.
Out of magnanimous kindness, he also sends me a sample of their Full Shave Kit (the one in the picture).
I look forward to it. If it comes close to my expectations it’s just great.

First contact ...

... not bad.

No comment on the fragrance.
... or rather NC as at school.
But my skin loves it.
Excellent conditioning.
For the few who need support.

I’m intrigued. This is just the first look.
In the coming days I will share more.
I have a feeling this could be a great set.
But it certainly requires adaptations of my technique.
In addition to getting used to the strange smell, or mask it in superlathering.

Yesterday, I added more hi-tech material.

Today I tried to change the lathering.

This cream is definitely thirsty.
Like all products rich in composition.
It’s not perfect yet, but we’re almost there.
Less cream, more water, more work.

A small change. (here)
A good natural brush, instead of synthetic.
But I found no improvement.

No filters. Naked and raw.
Without even the brush ...
... when you say STESS TEST.

Nice that there is no species of silicone. (That I can tell.)

No matter how simple, a hi-tech product is recognized.
The cream in brushless mode is valid.
Although I did add some water.
After laying the veil on moist skin.
Quasi brushless, exactly.

I went a little overboard today.
Just water, no soap. Too much for this razor.
Good thing that the balm is effective. Very much!!!

Personally, I prefer the use of shaving soaps rather than creams. However, for those who prefer creams, the ingredient list of the cream looks promising. There are quite a few suitable ingredients. This is a much better formulation than many creams that are composed of detergents and other synthetic ingredients.

I do not use preshave oils, oils either, but the ingredients are good. Just do not use too much of it as olive oil can be a lather killer.

The post-shave balm, however, has too many synthetic chemicals for my liking. It also contains a lot of synthetic fragrance ingredients that are potential allergens. I would not use it as I have very sensitive skin, but you can make your own decision.
