Product Information

Full details

The Erasmic Shaving Soap Bowl 90 G is designed for adult males seeking a traditional and effective shaving experience. Its key benefit is delivering a rich, creamy lather that softens facial hair and prepares the skin, allowing for a smooth, comfortable shave with reduced irritation. A potential caveat is that users accustomed to foam cans may need a brief adjustment period to master lather creation with a brush. This product offers a classic grooming solution for achieving a close shave with excellent cushioning and protection.

FAQs

What is the best way to build lather with this soap?

Use a well-wetted shaving brush and swirl it firmly over the soap's surface in the bowl for about 30-60 seconds. Then, transfer to your face or a separate bowl and continue to build the lather by adding small amounts of water and working the brush until you achieve a thick, creamy consistency.

How long does a 90g bowl of shaving soap typically last?

With daily use and proper care, a 90g bowl can last several months, depending on the amount of lather used per shave and the density of the lather created.

Is this soap suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the formula contains natural glycerine, which helps to moisturize and protect the skin, making it generally suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

Can I use this soap without a shaving brush?

While it is designed to be used with a shaving brush for optimal lather, some users may experiment with creating lather using their hands, though this typically results in a less rich and protective lather.

Does the soap have a scent?

The Erasmic Shaving Soap Bowl has a classic, subtle, traditional shaving soap scent.

Is this product suitable for travel?

Yes, the 90g bowl is compact and self-contained, making it convenient for travel.

Where is this product made?

This product is designed and made in Britain.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty creating lather

Ensure your brush is adequately wet, not just damp. Try loading the brush for a longer period. Adjust the water ratio – add a little more water if the lather is too thick or seems dry.

Lather dissipates quickly

This can indicate too much water in the lather. Try using less water next time or building the lather more vigorously. Ensure the soap is not old or dried out.

Soap seems to dry out in the bowl

Make sure to rinse the soap surface and rim of the bowl after each use and allow it to air dry partially before closing the lid. Store in a humid environment if possible, or ensure the lid is sealed tightly.

Razor tugs or pulls during shave

The lather may not be thick enough or slick enough. Re-lather or ensure you have adequately softened your beard hair with warm water before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Wet your shaving brush thoroughly with warm water.
  2. Load the brush by swirling it firmly over the surface of the Erasmic Shaving Soap in the bowl for 30-60 seconds, ensuring the bristles are well-coated.
  3. Transfer the lather to a separate shaving bowl or directly to your wet face.
  4. Continue to build the lather by adding small amounts of water to the brush and working it until a rich, creamy, and stable lather is achieved.
  5. Apply the lather generously to your face, ensuring all areas to be shaved are covered.

Compatibility:

  • Shaving Brush: Best used with badger, boar, or synthetic shaving brushes.
  • Razor: Compatible with all types of safety razors, cartridge razors, and straight razors.
  • Skin Types: Generally suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, due to its moisturizing properties.

Care:

  • After each use, rinse the soap and the rim of the bowl thoroughly with clean water.
  • Allow the soap to air dry completely before closing the lid.
  • Store the bowl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the lid on when not in use to preserve the soap and prevent it from drying out excessively.
