Handcrafted Unscented Shaving Soap
Produced for shaving face and body, this handcrafted cold-process shaving bar is unscented.
Colloidal oatmeal and bentonite clay join a saponified base of olive, castor, coconut, palm, and apricot kernel oils.
Shaving and beard care engage touch before, during, and after the shave. Pre-shave oils and shaving creams are worked into the skin and hair with warm, slow, circular pressure, which adds glide for the razor (Robbins, 2012). Beard oils, balms, and conditioning blends are massaged through the beard to the skin underneath, adding oils that smooth the hair surface and reduce fiber friction (Robbins, 2012). The skin and hair of the face contain touch receptors, and the pressure of working a product in activates them (McGlone et al., 2014; Löken et al., 2009). Slow, rhythmic pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010).
Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
