Got the same email. Wonderful. I just hope I like the new soap and as much as I do the current(former) ones.
Made in Italy with premium ingredients, Fine's 21st Century Shave Soap embodies the pinnacle of modern soapmaking craftsmanship.
Good news! I received this e-mail from Fine Accoutrements, this morning. Looks like most (or all?) of the signature scents will eventually be returning in the new soap base:
Our New Shaving Soaps are Almost Ready
Our new line will be available for pre-order in 5 fragrances – American Blend, Latigo, Aquamarine, Snake Bite and Platinum – in the next week or two (with a couple more coming in early 2021)

You should feel good about the hard puck purchases, IMO.that is good news. Don't tell SWMBO though! I just spent over $350 on a variety of Tabac (because I didn't check here first to see it likely won't be affected), Fine American Blend in a tube (one from Spain and two from England), as well as Lavender and Platinum pucks from RE. Merry Christmas to me, i guess!

I can't help myself, but I think "The Goodfellas Smile" or maybe "Extro".
The Goodfellas soaps are awesome! I have burned through the inferno and the now I'm working through the Furiah, really great stuff, I really like it, and they are winners.
I have never tried the Fine brand of soaps and aftershaves, but after the dust settles, I might just be so inclined as to pull the trigger on one.
Goodfellas'/Officina Artigiana are the same producer. They choose to differentiate brands to elevate the Officina Artigiana to a more premium status. Also the fact The Goodfellas Smile store was the first to carry the new Fine soaps may be a clue.
The Extro base is a bit different and relies almost always on Shea butter and Calendula oils. Also their soap are higher in Potassium Hydroxide content. The premium Goodfellas' formula is a lot more similar to Fine's.
They have to become "New Old Stock" first.How long should we wait until we start calling the Fine 3-milled soaps "vintage"?
