Edwin Jagger SSAV Aloe Vera 99.9% Natural Traditional Shaving Soap 65g Refill

Lovely shaving soap, lathers really well and creates a nice shaving surface. Smells nice but isn't overly perfumed which is good as I have sensitive skin. Lasts really well.

Traditional shaving opens up a whole world of options when it comes to picking what equipment and consumables to use. Safety razor or straight? Long handled or stubby? Open comb or closed? Badger brush or bristle? Soap or cream? The options go on and on and within these options, you have an endless array of brands, scents and subtypes to choose from. All this goes a long way to making your shaving experience incredibly personal. Edwin Jagger is an established and respected brand within the world of traditional shaving. Their safety razors have found fans in the beginner and experienced market alike. In response to this popularity, Edwin Jagger have an impressive collection of products for those who want their shaving experience to go beyond smearing some gunky gel from a canister onto their face. Many people, like myself, got into shaving with a safety razor because sensitive skin made shaving with a cartridge razor a big no-no. A single blade and the right choice of products can make all the difference for someone who had previously experienced irritation, shaving bumps or rashes. Edwin Jagger's Aloe Vera soap is a product designed to further enhance the shaving experience for those with sensitive skin. This soap comes in a black plastic pot with the soap shrink-wrapped and loose inside. In this respect, it is a less premium package in appearance than other soaps which often come in a wooden bowl. Once unwrapped, however, the pleasant smell of the soap begins to win you over. It's difficult to describe the smell of the soap. Clean would be one adjective, natural is another. Adding pleasant and subtle probably wraps it up, but there are no identifiable scents that you might find in other soaps, which often use strong bergamot, lavender, sandalwood and almonds extracts, among others. The soap lathers well, given enough time and effort. I've lathered in both a bowl and directly onto my face. This soap produces a rich, meringue-like lather that I have found does soften and lubricate the face well, though perhaps not as well as some creams I've tried. Nevertheless, using even an aggressive razor such as the Muhle R41, I've found the soap to allow for a pretty forgiving shave. Even after several shaves, the puck of soap does not appear to have diminished at all. It would appear that this product is impressively economical, even by soap standards. In summary, this is a quality soap that dispenses with the wooden bowl, fancy packaging and gilded edges to leave a simple, pleasant product that provides an excellent shave at an equally impressive price point.

Just what I needed

Hav always had problems with dry skin after shavin. Was told bout this n thought it would b just as bad. Wish I'd known bout it years ago. Not drying at all lov the light scent. Will never b buying any other now 👍

I have reorder every time my husband gets to the end of a bar. They last a long time. Lovely smell, clean and fresh. My husband has very sensitive skin.

I recently went through a spell where I had pretty sensitive skin after shaving, and my face would become dry and flaky as the day progressed even with moisturising. I suspect this was due to a facial cleanser I was using, and have since discarded. Other shaving creams/soaps tended to exacerbate the situation, but this did the job absolutely perfectly. After using, and moisturising, my face stayed very smooth for the whole day, with no hint of dryness. The soap doesn't last very long, however, and in terms of value of money I think the Taylor's of Old Bond Street 150g tubs of shaving cream would be my preference. I have since gone back to using these now that my face has healed properly. But, if you're suffering from irritation after shaving or dry/flaky skin then I highly recommend this cream

Comparatively speaking. Slow to lather compared with previous soap

My husband liked it

Ich habe die Rasiercreme meinem Freund vor ca. anderthalb Jahren geschenkt. Nach jeweils einmal wöchentlicher Nutzung ist diese immer noch halb gefüllt. Einmal mit dem angefeuchteten Pinsel Produkt aufnehmen reicht meist. Zudem ist der Geruch sehr angenehm und erleichtert die Rasur, so wie es eben sein soll :)

Riporto il giudizio di mio marito al quale l'ho regalato. Avendo la pelle sensibile si è trovato molto bene e non sono comparsi segni di irritazione (molto frequenti di norma) e lascia un profumo delicato ma persistente per molte ore.

Abituato a marche inglesi blasonate, anche organic, questo prodotto vale proprio poco.

J’avoue avoir été perplexe quand a ce produit ne prêtant pas d'attention particulière au produit avec de l'aloe vera vu la dilution extrême et l'effet de mode. Par contre au départ je pensais que le produit allez être très vite utilisé! et bien non pas du tout. La texture est particulièrement bien faite car on a pas besoin d'en utiliser une tome pour que sur la peau elle se repartisse bien. Avec le blaireau de la même marque, 8 mois après je vais finir ce pot ayant effectué 100 rasage au moins. Alors je dit bravo pour se produit qui sent en plus bon. (pour moi car les gouts et les couleurs !!!)

I'd been using some other brand of shaving soap (came from England, but I can't think of the name as I type this, and it ran out so I don't have the jar any more) for the past year. When it ran out, I thought it was time to experiment with some other soaps. This is one of them that I tried. Not only is it the best of the bunch I experimented with, it is really good. I don't like it quite as much as the other soap (the one I can't remember the name of), but this works very well. I have dry skin that is sensitive to soaps and the shaving process itself, and also have allergies/sensitiveness to scents and perfumes, and I have no problem with this soap. It has a nice smell to it, pleasant and refreshing, with no perfume or other gimmicky crud to make it smell "manly" or "rugged". It lotions my skin a bit, too, which is nice. It lathers up very well with my badger hair brush, covers my face nicely, and offers a smooth ride for the safety razor.
