At The Gentleman's Soap Company, we know not every man has the same kind of skin. That's why we make soaps using four of our own recipes, which we've formulated for different uses. These four recipes, dubbed styles, are For Average Skin, Extra Moisturizing, Extra Cleansing, and Shave.
When purchasing a soap from us, choose the style based on your skin's needs.
For Average Skin
For Average Skin is wrapped in a silver ribbon. This soap has been specially formulated for people whose skin is not too dry and not too oily. Handmade in the cold process method of soap making, this style includes saponified olive, coconut, palm and castor oils, in our own special recipe. Our testers found this soap to have a light, satisfying lather and rinse clean without any residue. As a base style, For Average Skin can be combined with any of our scents or left unscented.
Extra Moisturizing
Extra Moisturizing is wrapped in a gold ribbon. The recipe for our Extra Moisturizing soap has been crafted for skin that tends towards being dry. Handmade in the cold process method of soap making, this style includes special amounts of saponified olive, coconut, palm, and castor oils, plus a healthy dose of shea butter to leave your skin extra soft. One of our testers said her face was softer and smoother after just a few days use. As a base style, Extra Moisturizing can be combined with any of our scents, or left unscented.
Extra Cleansing
Extra Cleansing comes wrapped in a black ribbon, and the soap itself is black, too. The recipe for our Extra Cleansing soap has been crafted for skin that tends towards being oily. Handmade in the cold process method of soap making, this style includes saponified olive, coconut, palm, and castor oils, plus the addition of activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is known for its clarifying and detoxifying qualities. One of our testers told us a few weeks with this soap cleared up acne on her back, without leaving it feeling dry and damaged. As a base style, Extra Cleansing can be combined with any of our scents (except Beatnik Gentleman), or left unscented. Due to the activated charcoal in the soap, the lather has a dark gray tinge.
Shave
Shave soap comes wrapped in black twisted paper twine. Creating a custom shave soap is the reason we got into soap making. Our shave soap is handmade in the cold process method of soap making, and includes special amounts of saponified olive, coconut, palm, castor, and sweet almond oils, plus shea butter and bentonite clay. This combination lends itself to a thick, lasting lather and a smooth shave, leaving your skin clean and well moisturized. Use our shave soap in place of your old shaving cream - our testers have said they'll never go back to the stuff in a can. For the best lather, we recommend a high quality shave brush. As a base style, Shave Soap can be combined with any of our scents, except for The Robust Gentleman.
