Captain Fawcett Luxurious Shaving Soap in Wooden Bowl 110g

Captain Fawcett's Luxurious Shaving Soap is built on the Captain's own Expedition Reserve formula, a recipe designed to give traditional wet shavers a lather that actually does its job: thick, cushioning and slow to collapse under the razor. Work it up with a brush and warm water and you'll get a lather that holds its structure through a full multi-pass shave, softening the beard and letting the blade glide rather than drag. The scent is where this soap earns its keep on the bathroom shelf. Top notes of pine needle, elemi, cumin and coriander open sharp and green, settling into a warm middle of frankincense, patchouli and tobacco, before resting on a base of sandalwood and amber. It's a grown-up, well-balanced fragrance that reads more like a fine cologne than a functional shaving product, and it lingers pleasantly on the skin after rinsing. Why it works Rich, dense lather that stays put on the face and doesn't thin out mid-shave Moisturises and softens facial hair for a closer, more comfortable glide Traditional glycerin-based soap formula, ideal for brush and bowl or scuttle shaving Layered pine, frankincense and sandalwood fragrance that develops as you shave Compact 110g puck fits most standard shaving bowls and scuttles How to use Wet the brush with warm water and swirl it over the soap to build a lather, either directly in the tub or transferred to a bowl. Apply evenly to a damp beard using circular motions, then shave as usual. For the best results, let the lather sit on the skin for thirty seconds before the first pass to give the beard time to soften.
