Product Overview

A complete shave in three Taconic pieces: the Unscented Pre-Shave Oil under the lather, the Urban Woods Shaving Cream to build it, and the Aftershave Balm with Aloe to finish. The cream carries Taconic’s modern barbershop scent, with hints of cedar, bergamot and tobacco.

All three are full size. The 2 oz. oil is built on three organic plant oils; the 4 oz. tub cream is super concentrated in Taconic’s words, with a published list running from stearic acid and coconut oil to cocoa seed butter and honey; the 4 oz. balm is concentrated aloe with no added fragrance. Made in the USA.

Product Specifications

What This Set Does

Shave comfort is built in layers: oil to cut friction before the blade, a proper lather to carry it, and a balm to put moisture back afterwards. This set is all three layers from one maker, in one box.

Taconic’s own claims per piece: the pre-shave oil protects and lubricates from repeated razor contact and helps prevent rashes, bumps and razor burn; the shaving cream is super concentrated and produces a rich, slick, luxurious and extremely long lasting lather, and is used in barbershops and shave parlors; the balm leaves skin soothed, cooled and moisturized, and a little goes a long way. All attributed to Taconic.

Who This Is Best For

How To Use The Set

In order: work a few drops of the pre-shave oil over the wet shave area. Lather the cream with a brush (a nickel sized amount on wet brush tips, massaged in circles) or brushless with the fingertips and warm water for 60 seconds, both per Taconic’s directions. After the shave, finish with a sparing amount of the balm.

The cream is the 4 oz. tub, scooped by the nickel sized amount, rather than the pump bottle Taconic also makes.

Care and Storage

Keep the tub lid seated and the bottles capped, out of direct sunlight. Nothing in the set needs refrigerating or special handling.
