shaving soap

Beard removal aid

Shaving soap is a hard soap formulated to produce a thick, stable lather for wet shaving.

It typically comes in a puck or stick and requires a brush to work up foam.

The lather lubricates the skin and softens facial hair, allowing a razor to glide smoothly: He swirled his brush in the shaving soap until it formed a rich lather.
