A Guide to Using Shaving Soap for Traditional Wet Shavers

The realm of wet shaving has a strong attraction. More and more men and women are ditching the cartridge and canned foam for the sublime luxury of shaving with a soap and safety razor/straight razor. And isn’t it wonderful when the thing you love is also good for you. (How often does that happen. . . I’m looking at you dessert. Sigh). Wet shaving is different. This meditative practice of lathering and shaving with quality products is something to love that loves you back.

So, you might be sold on the idea of the wet shave with a voluminous lather, but how do you produce it? One of the central aspects of a great classic shave is a well-lathered soap or cream.

The soap compliments the choice of razor, blade, brush, and your skin type, and there are more varieties of soap out there than blades or razors. So there is a lot to choose from, and also ways to lather it. Generally, the harder the soap, the harder the type of brush you’d want to use.
