Shaving soap bars – a cool, sustainable, and cost-savings way to shave
Shaving soap has been used for centuries as a means to create a smooth, close shave. While modern shaving creams and gels have become the norm, there are still many benefits to using a traditional shaving soap.
Shaving soaps are pair very well with double edged safety razors.
Creates a rich lather
Shaving soap creates a rich, creamy lather that is perfect for lubricating the skin during shaving. The lather is created by whisking the soap with a brush and a small amount of water. This process helps to aerate the soap, creating a thicker, more luxurious lather than can be achieved with a shaving cream or gel.
Lubricates the skin
The rich lather created by shaving soap helps to lubricate the skin, allowing the razor to glide smoothly over the surface of the skin. This helps to reduce friction and irritation, making for a more comfortable shave.
Moisturizes the skin
Many shaving soaps contain natural oils and ingredients that help to moisturize and nourish the skin. These ingredients can help to prevent dryness and irritation, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth.
Helps to prevent razor burn
Razor burn is a common problem when shaving, especially if you have sensitive skin. Shaving soap can help to prevent razor burn by creating a thick, protective layer between the skin and the razor. This layer helps to reduce friction and irritation, reducing the risk of razor burn.
Long-lasting
Shaving soap lasts much longer than shaving cream or gel. A single puck of shaving soap can last for months, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Eco-friendly
Many shaving soaps are eco-friendly, made from natural ingredients and packaged in biodegradable materials. This makes shaving soap a great choice for those who are looking to reduce their environmental impact.
Travel convenience
Since shaving soaps do not contain any liquids or aerosols, they are an easy item to pack in a bag for travel. You won’t have to worry about TSA security confiscating it or a can of shaving cream rupturing and making a mess!
