What This Soap Does

A hard shaving soap is the traditional route to a lather. The puck lives in a mug, a damp brush works over it, and the lather it raises softens the stubble and gives the blade a slick surface to travel on.

Taconic states this soap creates an incredible lather and provides a smooth and slick shaving experience, that it conditions, moisturizes and protects the face from razor irritation while softening the beard, and that it is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Those are Taconic’s descriptions of its own soap.

Who This Is Best For

How To Use It

Taconic publishes one instruction for this soap: it is designed to be lathered in a shave mug for best results. Set the puck in the mug, work a wet shaving brush over it in circles until the brush loads, then build the lather on the face or in the mug and add water a little at a time.

Taconic states the puck fits perfectly in Parker’s Apothecary Shave Mug, or any other mug or bowl that can accommodate a 3 inch round soap.

Care and Storage

Let the puck dry between uses: tip any standing water out of the mug and leave it open to the air. There is nothing in it that needs refrigerating or special handling.
