Perched on top of a seaside cliff on the east coast of Sicily, the little town of Taormina is famous for its ancient stone theater. The views from it are spectacular, with Mount Etna to the west and the blue Mediterranean lapping the foot of the cliffs. Throughout the region broom plant (it’s Italian name is ginestra) grows abundantly and magnificently. A mature broom plant can easily be mistaken for a tree. Its golden blooms give off a heady aroma of flowers and well dried hay. TFS has packed a lot of this fragrance into their soap. The first time I cracked it open, I was almost overcome. Now that time has tamed it, the scent is gorgeous and tempts me to leave the lid off the tub forever.

I have had this soap for some time and it is one my top soaps.

Lemongrass v. (Klar Seifen) creamy lemongrass
I remember reading, at the beginning of my odyssey into wet shaving, that I’d be saving all sorts of money. Soaps were supposed to produce lather at just pennies a shave, far cheaper than canned creams. My spreadsheet begs to differ. High quality artisan soaps have now become both so soft and so expensive that it’s unlikely I’ll do much better than one dollar per shave for many of these tubs. That’s not the case with Klar, though. They make a hard, dense soap that will easily last until the cost per shave is negligible. I’ve lathered this soap seven times now. It looks exactly the same as the day I first uncorked it. It’s a tiny tin, but I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t give me at least a hundred fifty shaves (at roughly 20 cents per lather).
