Shaving soap
Shaving soap that is hand made features a careful mixture of oils and clay for a traditional, luxurious wet shave. Handcrafted soaps for shaving are usually made from combinations of olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, castor oil, and clay (Bentonite, kaolin, Rhassoul – just to name a few).
The oils are what give shaving soap its luxurious qualities:
• Olive oil – creates a stable lather and is excellent for skin conditioning
• Coconut oil – brings a rich, bubbling lather
• Palm oil – makes a good hard bar
• Castor oil – more lather and creaminess
• Clays – the perfect skin clarifier as well as adding a good “slip” to the barTo use shaving soap, you must have a shaving brush – badger hair is the absolute best. Wet the brush with warm water and lather on the top of the soap. Once the lather is worked up on the brush, rinse excess water off the soap and apply the lather to your face using the brush. One shave with specialized handcrafted soap and you’ll never buy shaving cream or gels again.
