Making the switch from supermarket-style razors and shaving creams to traditional wet shaving products is one of the best gifts a man can give to his face. 

In this article, we'll take a closer look at the differences between shaving creams and soaps, and share some tips that will help to find the right product for you.

INGREDIENTS MATTER

The heart of a superior shave lies in the quality of ingredients. Unlike supermarket finds, our selection boasts natural components that soothe, nourish, and moisturize your skin, promising a smooth glide and reduced irritation. For those with sensitive skin, we've curated products designed to protect and pamper your complexion.

 

SHAVING CREAMS: EASY LATHERING

Shaving creams are the go-to for newcomers to wet shaving, offering a quick path to a rich, protective lather. Their soft consistency is perfect for direct application or using a shaving brush for optimal results. Whether you prefer the luxurious slip of Taylor of Old Bond Street or the refreshing kick of Proraso, you're in for a treat.

SHAVING SOAPS: THE CHOICE FOR VETERANS

Ideal for seasoned shavers, hard-set shaving soaps demand skill for a rewarding lather. Tallow-based options from brands like Barrister & Mann offer rich moisture, enhancing the traditional shaving ritual. Noble Otter's artisan soaps blend tallow with luxurious oils for a superior glide and skin nourishment. Hybrid soaps, combining ingredients like stearic acid and glycerine, provide a versatile shave suitable for various skin types, exemplified by Proraso's vegan-friendly formulas. Each soap type promises a unique shaving experience that rewards patience with exceptional comfort and closeness.

SHAVING GELS: PRECISION IN EVERY STROKE

Non-lathering shaving gels offer clarity and control, perfect for defining edges with precision. Their transparent formula allows for accurate lines, making them ideal companions for beard maintenance and touch-ups.

WHICH ONE FOR ME:

Your journey to the perfect shave begins with understanding your needs. Are you seeking simplicity and speed, or are you drawn to the ritual of building a perfect lather? No matter your preference, the path to a smooth, satisfying shave starts here.

CONCLUSION & FINDING YOUR PERFECT MATCH:

Embarking on the wet shaving journey opens up a world of customization and comfort. Whether you lean towards the plush lather of a cream, the tradition of a soap, or the precision of a gel, our collection caters to every preference.
