Directions:
To get the best out of our soap it should be used with a shaving brush. Start by soaking your brush in water and then remove excess water by gently shaking the brush. Next load your brush from the tub until you have what resembles a paste on the tips of your brush hairs. You can then either lather up on your face or in bowl. You can add small amounts of water (drips off your fingers) at a time until you have a thick lather. The aim is a meringue like texture with peaks. It should have the consistency of yoghurt as this gives superb glide and protection as you shave.
Warning:
If you have any form of reaction please stop using the soap. It is more likely that you are sensitive to the essential oils in the soap and not the soap itself.
Ingredients:
Stearic acid, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, coconut water, coconut oil, shea butter, coco butter, avocado oil, glycerin, castor oil, bentonite clay, essential oils.

This soap has a wonderful scent, powerful and resinous off the dry puck, but lighter and more fragrant on the brush. Very slick and cushiony – almost too much so: it can sometimes get in the way of a really close shave. But nothing that can’t be fixed with a little water on the fingertips. My only criticism is that it leaves my skin feeling very dry, so I can’t use it as often as I’d like.

Hi James thanks for your feedback we really appreciate it. Sorry to hear your post shave feel is not as you would like. A couple of recommendations include if you use alum after you shave we recommend you rinse it off after a few minutes as this can dry your skin. We also recommend you use a good after balm or moisturiser in conjunction with our shaving soaps once you finish shaving to keep your skin moisturised and supple.
