Description

Product Overview

Najran is the dark, resinous one. Cistus opens it, tobacco and violet fill the heart, and it settles onto moss, labdanum, grey amber, cedar wood and sandalwood. That is a fragrance structure closer to a perfume than to a shaving soap.

The manufacturer puts 46% of the formula into five precious oils, jojoba, argan, sweet almond, grape seed and castor, with shea butter alongside. 150 ml.

What This Soap Does

A soft soap loads onto a wet brush in seconds where a hard puck needs a minute of swirling, and it still builds the dense lather a tube cream cannot. At 46% oils this one stays slick right through a three-pass shave rather than thinning out.

Officina Artigiana builds these around the oils rather than around the fragrance. The mixture is heat-treated five times, in five separate mixing stages, which is what gives a soft soap this much body without turning it waxy.

Who This Is Best For

Dark scents
Tobacco, labdanum and amber rather than citrus or barbershop.
Slickness
46% oils, which is high even for an artisan soap.
Cold weather
A resinous, ambered fragrance that suits winter shaves.

How To Lather It

Soak the brush in warm water and shake it out. Load straight from the jar with a circular motion for twenty to thirty seconds, then build the lather on the face or in a bowl, adding water a few drops at a time until it turns glossy and holds a peak.

These load faster than a hard puck. Take less soap than you would from a puck and add water sooner.

Care and Storage

Close the jar after use and keep it somewhere dry. Do not leave standing water on the surface. Stored closed, a shaving soap keeps for years.
