Why is there so little love for Goodfellas Smile?

Seems to me that this stuff doesn’t get much recognition, yet people bleet on about MWF () Tobs, Trufitt which isn’t as good or as value for money (I like trufit but it’s twice the price)

How come? Sea Citrus, Re Nero and Inferno have been great (didn’t like scent of Tallow 1 or shibusa so much)
 
I found the soaps I had from them very good, better than cheaper soaps and fairly close to more expensive soaps (although I can't claim to have tried them all).
 
I really liked the Re Nero and still have a full bottle of the splash I brought because the wife loves the scent, I have not brought anymore soap though because I have far too many that I am trying to get through and I have much better performing ones now on the shelf.
They are good value for money, I agree.

I like Goodfellas however it’s not in the same league as MWF, Tobs or Truefitt & Hill.
It terms of value for money you’ll finish a Goodfellas a lot quicker than a puck of MWF.
Also Truefitt & Hill on a completely different level and has outlasted most.
It’s all down to choice.
If people use it they use it if they don’t they don’t.
As i say i like it & i like cella & Prorasso but i can’t compare them with creams & soaps that are far superior

No love for it? I think there is ... from the folks that continue to use it.

Thing is, soaps come in waves and to keep it fresh it's been a constant succession of names over the last decade or so. There were one or two that genuinely brought something new to the scene. Ten years ago, it was Razorock offering the big new thing with all manner of scents on the same soft soap base. Explosion! The so-called artisinal scene. Every man and his dog trotting out what appeared to be the same bewildering array of scents under more and more tenuous names. I used to joke that there was just one enormous factory somewhere with a random name generator at the end of the production line. Names have come and gone. Gone as in everybody had "been there and done that" as well as gone from the market altogether. It was a gold rush. I suppose it still is, but in a now saturated market where the consumer is a bit "huh! ... seen it all before".

TGS was one of those names. They've been the next big thing. Now they're not. Again, folks who took to that soap base love it and continue to use it.
