For regular shaving. The formula with shea butter and a blend of oils helps create dense lather and supports blade glide. In practice, this matters if you shave often with a razor and want a smoother pass with less chance of nicks and small cuts.
For those who enjoy classic English cologne profiles. No. 89 has a citrus-woody character: orange, bergamot, lavender and neroli open the scent, nutmeg adds a light spicy note, and sandalwood, cedarwood and vetiver shape the dry woody base. Geranium, rose and ylang sit in the heart.
For a settled home routine. The wooden shaving bowl is crafted from renewable sources and gives the soap a dedicated place in the bathroom. This format is useful if you prefer loading directly from a bowl rather than keeping a loose refill.
Wet the brush, load the soap with circular motions, and build lather in the bowl or on the face. Apply to damp skin and shave in short passes. Pour off excess water after use and let the soap dry in the bowl.
