Autumn is here! Embrace the rich, comforting essence of autumn with our Salem Shaving Soap.

This very special seasonal release is a deeply evocative sensory postcard to crisp fall evenings, bustling harvest festivals, and the warm traditions of the season. We've lovingly blended the comforting sweetness of ripe Pumpkin with a rich medley of aromatic Spices and a creamy, inviting hint of Vanilla. This limited-edition fragrance transforms your shave into a nostalgic journey through vibrant pumpkin patches and the cozy crackle of a fireside.

Beyond its captivating fragrance, our Kyoto Shaving Soap is meticulously crafted with a selection of ingredients known for their profound skin-conditioning properties. This is a tallow-based formula, providing a remarkably rich and dense lather for an exceptional shave. Tallow itself is highly valued for being naturally rich in Vitamins A, D, E, and K, which contribute to healthy-looking skin.

We've enhanced this with a luxurious blend of butters and oils like Shea Butter, Kokum Butter, Jojoba Oil, and Avocado Oil. The latter, in particular, is celebrated for its wealth of Vitamins A, D, and E, along with its emollient qualities that contribute to a smooth glide and a profoundly nourished feel afterward.

Glycerin and Sorbitol are included to help attract and retain moisture, promoting a comfortable shave. To further enhance the post-shave experience, we've added Allantoin and Silk Amino Acids, ingredients often found in premium skincare for their soothing and softening attributes.

Indulge fully in the spirit of the season with our 150 g / 5.3 oz jar, offering an extended, immersive seasonal experience. Alternatively, capture a taste of autumn with our 25 g / 0.88 oz sample size, perfect for 10-20 festive shaves. Both are presented in our protective violet glass jar. This is a limited edition – experience Salem before it vanishes!

Directions for Use

For an exceptionally smooth and comfortable shave, follow these simple steps:

Prepare Your Face: Warm your skin by taking a hot shower or using a hot towel. Preparation is half the journey!
Prepare Your Brush: Briefly soak your shaving brush in warm water. This helps the bristles soften and retain lather.
Load the Soap: Squeeze excess water out of your brush and swirl it firmly over the surface of the shaving soap in its tub or bowl for 30-45 seconds. Make sure to change direction and orientation of the brush to load the brush evenly.
Build Your Lather: Apply the soap directly to your wet face, using painting and/or circular motions. This helps lift and soften your beard. The soap may feel pasty and dry. This is good. Add a few drops of water by lightly wetting the brush under running water or by by dripping the tips in a pre-filled bowl or mug. Then, continue building the lather. Continue this way until you get a dense, creamy, and shiny consistency.
Shave: With your face fully lathered, proceed with your preferred razor. Shave with the grain first, then re-lather and shave across or against the grain for a closer result, if desired.
Rinse & Finish: After shaving, rinse your face thoroughly with cool water. Pat dry and follow with your favourite aftershave balm or splash for optimal skin comfort.
