Product Overview

These Nourishing Shaving Soaps are handcrafted with natural and organic ingredients and are created to build a luxurious and satisfying lather during a traditional wet shave.  

The key to a good shaving soap is a high fat content so skin is protected during the shave, it will also nourish your skin so it doesn't become dry and irritated. A good shaving soap is economically a great choice as it lasts a long time, and it is a wonderful option for your skin because it adds, not detracts, moisture. Ingredients such as olive oil, shea butter and avocado will do just that, nourish and protect skin during and after the shave. We've also added bentonite clay which brings slip to help the razor glide over the skin, and colloidal oats which help protect and soothe.

Our round shaving bars are now larger in size at 4.7 oz* and also come with specifically chosen essential oils which not only smell great, but have many benefits:

Directions for a traditional shave:

-Wet your brush under running hot water and allow it adequate time to absorb water.

-Don‘t tap too much excess water off the brush, then lather up the soap using circular motions directly in a container or vessel of your choice. At first, the bubbles will appear large, but as you keep going, they will increase in number and become smaller. After a short while you should have achieved a thick, warm lather.

-Apply and massage the warm lather with the soaped brush evenly across your face in circular motions. This will also increase the lather‘s density, soften your whiskers, and allow them to stand up, allowing the razor to sit close to the base of the hair follicle. The longer you whisk, the richer the lather, the smoother the shave and the more your skin will be protected.

-Empty excess water from the soap container and leave it open so it can air-dry.
