Shaving Soaps : The Art of Traditional Shaving

Shaving Soaps : Skin Preparation and Care

Traditional shaving is a ritual that deserves as much attention as preparing the skin itself. With our E&S Shaving Soap collection, every step becomes a moment of care and well-being. Each soap is handcrafted in France, made from natural ingredients selected for their quality and effectiveness. Whether formulated with tallow, goat’s milk, or 100% vegan, our soaps produce a rich, creamy, protective lather that transforms every shave into a genuine moment of comfort and pleasure.

The skin is a delicate and precious barrier. Every pass of the razor causes micro-cuts, tightness, and weakens the skin’s natural protective layer. A high-quality shaving soap plays a crucial role : it prepares the skin, softens the hairs, protects against razor burn, and reduces the risk of irritation. The lather allows the blade to glide smoothly, minimizing direct contact with the skin and ensuring a gentle, enjoyable shaving experience.

Our soaps are cold-processed with a 8% superfat, ensuring optimal hydration and maintaining the skin’s natural balance. They are free from palm oil, parabens, and silicones, offering a pure, natural, and environmentally responsible skincare solution.

Formulas and Ingredients

Our shaving soaps are designed to meet the demands of both traditional shaving enthusiasts and professionals. Each formula offers specific benefits for the skin:

• Beef tallow : a classic ingredient that provides exceptional glide, creamy lather, and optimal protection against razor burn. It is particularly appreciated by those seeking precise and comfortable shaves.

• Goat’s milk : rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, it softens the skin, improves hydration, and promotes healing. Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.

• Precious vegetable oils : coconut, olive, castor, safflower, and avocado oils nourish and soften the skin, adding suppleness and comfort.

• Shea and cocoa butter : for a dense, protective lather, perfect even for the most sensitive skin.

• Stearic acid and glycerin : provide a stable, creamy lather that is enjoyable and easy to work with a shaving brush.

Each soap is designed to work in perfect harmony with its matching aftershave, creating a complete and refined experience. The rich texture of the lather and the nourishing ingredients prepare the skin perfectly for the next step in the shaving ritual.

The Importance of Combining Shaving Soap and Aftershave

To get the most out of your shaving routine, it is essential to combine a high-quality shaving soap with a suitable aftershave. The soap prepares and protects the skin during shaving, while the aftershave complements this protection, soothes irritations, provides hydration, and supports skin regeneration.

This combination offers several benefits :

• Reduced redness and irritation, thanks to the protective effects of both soap and aftershave.

• Optimal hydration, preventing tightness and dryness.

• A complete sensory experience, where the scent of the aftershave harmonizes with the soap, creating a refined and cohesive olfactory signature.

• A strengthened barrier against external aggressors, thanks to the nourishing and protective ingredients in both products.

Combining these two steps transforms shaving into a complete ritual, where care, comfort, and pleasure come together. It respects the skin, minimizes blade-induced damage, and prolongs the beneficial effects of daily shaving.

Sensory and Olfactory Experience

Beyond its technical and protective advantages, E&S Shaving Soap offers a unique sensory experience. The variety of fragrances invites a journey and enhances the shaving ritual:

• BARBER : classic and enveloping, evokes the world of traditional barbers and the sophistication of a carefully crafted routine.

• OASIS : marine freshness, a true breath of pure air for the skin and mind.

• SOLSTICE : warm blend of citrus, wood, and spices, providing comfort and relaxation.

The contact with the brush, the rich lather, and the subtle fragrance transform every shave into a refined ritual, turning a daily task into a moment of enjoyment and relaxation. Each scent is carefully designed to perfectly complement its matching aftershave, creating a complete and harmonious olfactory experience.

Usage tip : take a small amount of soap with a damp brush, whip the lather in a bowl or directly on the face. Adjust the water to achieve the ideal texture: glossy, supple, and protective. Shave, rinse … enjoy.
