Alternatives to Nuavia Pannacrema

I have some Nuavia and never cared for the scent. Still have a full jar of it. To me SMN outshines it by a wide margin.

Which of the Nuavia are you using?

I wonder why the Pannacrema company closed.
Since at the beginning of their business I made fairly cheap and good soaps that were highly praised and popular in the forums, I had tried some Pure2O ones.
Of course, in recent years the Nuavia perhaps at that price users have found much better and there is no shortage of artisanal soaps in that price range because over the years new competitors have entered.

Not certain. The container has a grey/blue label on it and the product itself is a brown color.

Ok so it's the blue Nuavia shaving soap.
I guess that would make sense. It’s been too long to remember exactly and the container doesn’t list a name…only Nuavia written in the grey/blue color.
The soap works very well I just couldn’t get over the scent. Too strong for my liking.

I had mistakenly understood that you still had it.
If the color of the soap paste was brown then Nuavia was blue.

All right! even if to be picky SMN is a shaving cream not a hard soap like Nuavia was.

On their web page it says just like this "We will be back soon.
We are updating our shop and will be back very soon.
Thanks for your patience."

told openly by the owner on FB that the business will be shut down, it's strange to me that you can't understand

They must have written wrong on the Pannacrema website.
Yeah I still have it…only used it a handful of times. The container just doesn’t say what the scent is…only has the blue/gray Nuavia label.

As far as I remember the blue Nuavia was the only one whose soap paste was brown.
You wrote that the color of your Nuavia is brown from this I deduce that in your case it must be a blue Nuavia.
I clarify that I can also remember badly and therefore be wrong.

Well in the end the colleague @Steve56 convinced me to take 3P soap as a replacement for Nuavia.
In practice Nuavia cost double or triple compared to other similar soaps just for the scent, a little glycerin, shea butter and calendula.
The Stirlings are equally excellent as a fragrance and cost practically half what the Nuavias cost.
If we talk about comparing the INCI it is almost the same, Nuavia only has a few more ingredients and nothing else can be added.
Otherwise, if we talk about the performance of the foam then it is a personal matter, preferably therefore questionable, an opinion and preference of the user and therefore not an objective data.
What is the source of this information?
The company that produces or distributes 3P is called Laboratorio Natura so it is a laboratory that produces and distributes a lot of beauty care products including cosmetics, shampoos and various soaps.
It would be unusual for a company that has a laboratory to have other companies produce soap for its beard brand.
But if it was really produced by TFS, let's wait to know the source or otherwise don't write too much at random without first being equally well informed and documented.

@Mr Konrad Dundee
Naturally without any polemical intent and I apologize to all users if I go off topic on the topic.
At the moment I don't have the Figaro red bowl shaving cream which as you know is a mandorlato and the ingredients are exactly the same as the TFS mandorlato red bowl cream, in turn the ingredients are the same as the 3P they are all almondy.
INCI TFS Almond red bowl:
Stearic Acid, Aqua, Cocos Nucifera, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum, Potassium Carbonate
INCI 3P shaving soap Almond:
Stearic acid, Aqua, Cocos nucifera, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum, Potassium Carbonate.
If they really were all produced by TFS I would be fine if it weren't for the fact that the Figaro beard cream is the cheapest of the three, TFS almond beard cream in the red bowl costs a little more, the 3P almond soap is the one that costs the most of all.
Where I live in Italy I can't find 3P, I would have to order it online by making other purchases or paying for shipping.
Knowing that they are all produced by TFS, I would definitely buy the Figaro which I pay less and find easily.
If I decide to buy 3P soap it is logical that I expect it not to be produced by TFS and I would like something more than the Figaro shaving cream.
Figaro shaving cream and TFS red almond are both produced by TFS, that's for sure, there is absolutely no evidence of 3P shaving soap.
Even if 3P soap was produced by TFS I would feel a bit taken for a ride.
I don't think so and I actually hope it isn't.
