This traditional hard shaving soap with travel container is ideal for use in a shaving soap bowl with a quality shaving brush. The delicately fragrant soap when combined with hot water and brush, will whip up a luxurious creamy lather. When applied to the face the lather feels rich and velvety and will soften the beard in preparation for the razor blade.
The luxurious lathering properties of Edwin Jagger's creams and soaps are enhanced by subtle natural extracts of Aloe Vera, Sandalwood and Sea Buckthorn for a wonderfully smooth shaving experience.
Aloe Vera is acknowledged as a soothing and natural preparation for sensitive skin with properties that help to protect, repair and replenish. The fragrance is delicate and restrained, less obvious and unassuming. Excellent for sensitive skin.
Aloe Vera is an evergreen perennial plant which grows profusely in maritime sands and rocks in Mediterranean climates. The Arabs were probably the first to process the plant and called it "desert lily". Alexander the Great used the gel extract to treat war wounds as it was renowned for its healing abilities. Most ancient civilizations, including the Greeks, Romans, Persians and Indians applied the Aloe Vera extract as "first aid" for wounds, burns and other skin conditions because of its antiseptic properties. The Aloe Vera extract replenishes and moisturises the skin and restores its natural shine and elasticity.
Using a badger shaving brush in the daily shaving routine will enhance the shave quality, improve facial skin appearance and promote a genuine feel good factor. With the circular lathering motion the fine tips of badger hair lift and soften the beard to create a smooth, creamy shaving lather and cleanse and massage the face gently resulting in a comfortable shave.
