 Shaving soap lasts longer than canned shaving cream and also contains more lubricants and beard softeners.
Shaving soaps provide a longer lasting lather, warm the face and are hygienic; they improve skin circulation; they’re 100 percent biodegradable; and most important, they just smell so darn good.
Shaving soap cakes are generally easier to use and provide consistently good results. They also typically cost less than shaving creams.
A good quality shaving soap will have the ingredients necessary to produce a rich moist lather to soften the beard, moisturize the skin and lubricate the face to make it easier to slide the razor across your skin.
Colonel Ichabod Conk's line of shaving soap is famous for its glycerine-based shaving soaps. They also contain Vitamin E and avocado oil to soften even the coarsest beards. Varieties include Almond, Lime, Amber and BayRum shave soap.
You will need a shaving mug to store the shaving soap and work it up to a nice, creamy lather - about the consistency of egg whites. The lather should not be too dry but it shouldn’t be too runny either. Experimentation will be the best way for you to learn what is right.
*Shaving soaps do not contain animal tallow.
