shave bar

Olive oil, Coconut oil, Castor oil, Shea butter, Water, Lye, Bentonite clay, Colloidal oatmeal, Juniper berry, and Clove essential oils.

Use bar as is, or for longer use and thicker lather use with a shave brush. We have both Horse Hair or Boar Bristle Shave Brushes available.

Drop shave bar into one of our Wooden or Coconut Bowls, the bottom of a mug, or a small cup. Add a small splash of water to soap and begin to brush the bar to create foam. Continue brushing until you have enough of the thick lather to work with. Add a few additional drops of water if needed.

Apply lather to skin using the brush and shave as usual.

Once shaving is complete, pour out any excess water from the cup or bowl, rinse the soap from the brush, shake off excess water and allow to dry bristles down for next use. Soap and bubbles remain in the bowl to dry, the lather will be reactivated with water during the next use.

Product, paper label and twine are all compostable.

Q: Does this soap work like shaving cream?

A: Yes, when you lather the bar, keep lathering until the large bubbles tighten up to small bubbles which resemble more of a cream.

Q: How long does this bar last?

A: Using just as a soap bar, you will get about 4 months of shaving from the bar. Using a shave brush will extend the life of the bar to between 8 to 12 months.

Q: Is it safe to share a bar of soap?

A: You betcha, there are several well-known studies you can read up on (Check our Soap Box Blog) but the short of it is: Soap sanitizes itself, so you can share a bar with a friend and both of you will be just fine!

Q: Is this product and shaving method just for men?

A: Absolutely not! Many of us have hair in places we would prefer not to. Why would gender change how we deal with it?

Q: Can you suggest a zero waste razor?

A: Hands down our favorites come from LEAF. Although there is a bit of sticker shock at first, the replacement blades cost pennies and this razor will be with you for at least a dozen years. They have several options based mostly on where you plan to shave, but we enjoy the multi-blade flexible head of the Leaf Razor.
