Scent
First of all our sense of smell is linked in with memory. This is why different smells can invoke different reactions. Consequently they can transport us back in time linking us into the powerful memories of childhood and wonderful life experiences. Therefore, the Pomelo Shaving Soap has essential oils that create a scent which is fresh and refreshing like you’ve just poured a fresh glass of fruit juice.
About our shaving soap ingredients
Especially relevant is that we have sourced a sustainable ingredients including palm oil (stearic acid), coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter and avocado oil provide excellent moisturising qualities. As a result he butters have been chosen for their lathering qualities. In addition their moisturising qualities will leave your skin with a lovely post shave feel. The lanolin has been sourced ethically and is cruelty free. It has not been tested on animals and is made in beautiful country NSW.
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 when to stop using
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.

Fantastic. The soap needed a little more water than many of the other soaps I’ve tried, but the result was a full, thick, and creamy lather that provided excellent glide and cushion for my razor.
The scent was also fantastic, very refreshing and distinct. It lingered faintly after shaving but was not overpowering.
I was given this soap as a gift, and it came packed and presented beautifully. It’s really nice to see such a high quality product from an Australian artisan. I will definitely be buying more.

This really is a great soap. I’d rate the slickness and protection to be on par with the best soaps I’ve used such as Mitchell’s Wool Fat, Australian Private Reserve, Barrister and Mann and Stirling. I personally love the scent, it reminds me of an orange cake.

You won’t find a more orange citrus scented soap than this one. Fabulous. Just like the rest in Alex’s range, this is easy to lather and great protection from the sharpest of blades.
