Shaving soap

A handmade shaving soap inspired by Italian tradition. It loads easily onto the brush and, worked in a shaving bowl or a mug, builds a rich, creamy lather that softens the beard and protects the skin.

Groom makes it in small batches in its Montréal workshop. The formula combines cocoa butter, shea butter and coconut oil, scented with Scots pine, Atlas cedar, juniper, copaiba and star anise oils.

Format: 140 g jar.

Ingredients: Aqua, Potassium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Cocos Nucifera Oil, Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Lactate, Citric Acid, Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil, Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil, Juniperus Communis Fruit Oil, Copaifera Reticulata Balsam Oil, Illicium Verum Leaf Oil, Parfum (of natural origin).

How to apply: lather the soap with a wet shaving brush, in a shaving bowl or a mug, then apply the lather to your skin before shaving. Rinse with lukewarm water after shaving. For sensitive skin, the maker suggests applying a shaving oil first.
