When you think the classic wet shave, there's nothing more traditional than using a mug and brush and lathering up with a quality shaving soap to soften facial hair and prepare skin for a clean, close shave.
Our shaving soaps are loaded with natural glycerin and formulated with nourishing plant oils, soothing aloe, Ayurvedic soapnuts, and enriched with moisturizing coconut milk, shea butter, and cocoa butter. This blend is designed to provide a rich, foamy lather and support skin health during the wet-shave experience. Traditionally used to reduce irritation and improve razor glide, our ingredients aim to create a comfortable shaving experience.
The bentonite clay enhances the luxurious lather with slip to allow your razor to glide across the skin for a clean, close, smooth shave. The moisturizing plant oils leave skin feeling hydrated and soft.
Coconut milk, rich in fat, does more than just moisturize. Its soothing properties may help soothe sensitive skin and comfort the dryness associated with irritated skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. In soap, it creates a silky, rich, and creamy lather.
Moisturizing unrefined shea and cocoa butters help hydrate and nourish skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. These luxurious ingredients provide long-lasting moisture enhancing the overall appearance of the skin.
Moisturizing avocado oil acts as a humectant that draws water molecules to the skin to help retain and preserve the moisture in your skin.
The warm and refreshing spiced essential oil blend helps balance natural oils.
A great bar for facial hair, underarms, bikini area, legs, or anywhere else on your body.

How To Use
Begin with cleansed skin to help remove dirt and grime from the hair so that it can absorb water and soften.
- Shave during or after a hot shower or rinse your face with hot water to stimulate the skin, open the pores, and soften the hair
- Give your shaving brush a good soaking with hot water
- Shake the brush a bit--you want it wet, not waterlogged
- Take the brush and swirl it over the surface of the soap to generate a rich lather--it will be bubbly at first but as you swirl the lather will become thicker
- Apply brush to your face in quick, circular movements to produce a rich lather and exfoliate the skin
- Apply the rich lather with the brush until it covers all the areas you want to shave
- To generate a fuller lather, simply add more hot water to the brush
- With a clean, sharp razor, take short, light strokes, shaving with the grain of your beard
- Hold loose skin taut to help prevent cuts
- Rinse the razor often
- For a very close shave, you can re-lather and shave very gently across the grain
- Rinse with cold water
- Apply an After-Shave Balm or a Beard Oil or even a Facial Oil to moisturize your skin
Don't have a mug or brush? Once your skin is cleansed, rinsed, and hair is softened, massage the shaving soap onto the area to be shaved to create a rich, foamy lather. Shave as usual.
