Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a brush with shaving soap?

Yes, for most traditional shaving soaps. A shaving brush helps load the soap, mix in water and build a usable lather.

What is the difference between a shaving soap bowl and refill?

A bowl soap comes in its own container. A refill is designed to replace the soap inside a suitable bowl or dish, so check the size and format before buying.

Is shaving soap better value than shaving cream?

It can be, because a hard soap often lasts a long time. Shaving cream may be quicker to lather, so the better choice depends on convenience, texture and scent preference.
