Easy rinsing / least residue shave soaps

@Marco - I think I have actually tried TFS before but under the Razorock La Famiglia brand. Do you know if TFS still makes that Italian-style soft soap? I think they are called Lineo Intenso by TFS. I really liked those scents and their performance. I can't seem to find them anywhere and not sure if they are discontinued. I think they are the following:

Bergamotto Neroli (formerly Razorock Don Marco)
Tobacco Green (formerly Razorock Zi Peppino)
Sandalwood Sandalo - (formerly Razorock Nonno Michelino Sandalwood)
Orange Blossom and Jasmine (formerly Razorock Cumba Cheech)

That being said, I could be off on my memory on this.
 
Of course, I have. Yes, it's a very good product. But I have decided to reduce my den, Steve. I am now keeping only my all-time favourite, which is to say 4 manufacturers.
Marco - what are your all-time favorites? Inquiring minds NEED to know! :p
 
The easiest rinsing shave soap for me is RazoRock Plague Doctor. A good performer, with a light soapy scent and a great logo.

Haven't tried Plague Doctor yet, but I love Marco's write-up on it. Its on my list next time I place an order from Italian Barber! When I read the most recent reviews, it said the scent was very light vs. the decadent scent that Marco described in his post a few years ago. How is the scent on yours?

Tcheon Fung Sing is the actual manuacturer for RazoRock soft soaps. My two favourite RR soaps are Plague Doctor and Santa Maria del Fiore, both made by TFS using the TFS trusted base formula, which is the exact one used to produce the Crema Purissima Per Barba.

I loved creating that tale and was extremely satisfied with my overall write-up once completed.
 
It looks like we are making progress here. I've substituted Razorock Zi Peppino for Cella since the last time my bathtub was washed. The soap has been in the collection for a few months but I wasn't really using it as much; it now has a use. The results are that my wife says there is, indeed, a difference. So it looks like Cella was the culprit - much to my dismay.

In other good news, Tcheon Fung Sing Crema Purissima Per Barba just arrived today. I also have a sample of MdC (not pictured) to test. The red tub is a bit mesmerizing. It is the most intense and perfect color red that I have ever seen - pretty cool.

Interestingly enough, I also looked at the bar soap that my wife and I use and it has tallow in it! So the assumptions that the excessive residue was not just the tallow seem to be correct.
