Wet Shaving Soap - Lanolin Unscented

A soap formulated especially for traditional wet shaving

Our first test recipes for shaving soap go right back to 2009 so this has been a long time in the pipeline. With the growing trend away from disposable razors and fake foam in a can we thought it was high time we shared our own unique formula with our clients.

When formulating this wet shave soap our focus was, as always, on people who prefer a genuinely natural product and those who might be sensitive to many of the additives commonly found in commercial products. Our batches are small and artisanal, meaning real hands working thoughtfully with real ingredients.

This soap is a fusion of liquid and solid soap making methods, resulting in a soap that loads easily onto the shaving brush. Many shaving soaps are made with manufactured stearic acid derived from palm oil, however, our soap is made with hand rendered (by us) tallow from local, organic, grass-fed stock. The stearic acid naturally present in tallow, cacao and shea butter make for a lovely stable, creamy lather.

Our shaving soap also contains coconut oil, avocado oil and castor oil for a long-lasting lather that doesn't dry delicate facial skin.

We offer two essential oil blends for your shaving pleasure, as well as an unscented lanolin version for those (like me) who dig its earthy scent and skin soothing benefits.

Saponified Tallow (hand-rendered, local), Organic Cacao Butter, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Lanolin, Castor Oil

Great Shave

Costantino Di Meglio on 17 November 2023

Great lather, very slick comfortable shave. Easy to work up a good lather in the shaving mug I also purchased in the same order. Perfect for straight razor shaving. I have also tried the scented shave soap which is also very good.

Fantastic Local Product

Tony Vourdanos on 26 October 2023

I have a ridiculous amount of shave soaps from around the world some cheap some expensive. The one thing i look for is performance. This scent free shave soap is hands down the best I have tried. Easy to load, super stable lather and with the right amount of water, unbeatable performance. The one thing of note is that by using this soap I can use any hardware in any combination with minimal irritation, if any (I have super sensitive skin) I cannot say that for any other shave soap or cream that i have tried. I've just bought a bucket load more and will continue to do so. Fantastic Local Product......

A Step Above.

Matthew Barton on 18 July 2022

I've tried high end shaving creams from Truefitt & Hill, high end soaps from Noble Otter, Phoenix & Beau, MFW, Barrister & Mann, etc... And this one is a cut above. I say this mostly in performance and protection, rather than scent as this is mostly unscented. It does have this understated, pleasant, and clean earthiness that I personally enjoy just as much as the wonderful scents from those other brands I listed before. When lathering, it reacts different than most other soaps. I put this down to the quality of the soap, it's a little slower to work up, starts off REALLY thick into the brush while loading, so it needs a bit of extra water to get to your desired consistency. This is great thing as it makes it very difficult to ruin the lather and easy to dial it in for your preference. On skin it's got cushion for days, protecting your skin from the blade, and leaves your skin so conditioned, does everything you could want out of a shaving soap, simple as that. This makes me want to try the scented lime and lemon shaving soap (not so much the patchouli one, as I find patchouli to remind me of a kind of hippy, potpourri smell, not something I would want on my face), my only worry would be if the absence of lanolin that is in this unscented soap would make the lemon, lime soap less conditioning... To surmise, one of the best shaving soaps in the world, this should be consistently sold out, and I'm thrilled it isn't for my own sake. Get some!

Excellent lather, great protection and razor slip

Thomas Wilkie on 1 May 2020

Receiving a small sample with my last order after converting to wet shaving and having heard several good reviews about Washpool shave soaps, I was keen to give this one a crack. My preference is for scented soaps as I enjoy the olfactory aspect of shaving, however, I found the natural scent of the soap to not be for me. As a shave soap, it required just a little water and a bit of time to create a lovely, luxurious lather, with just enough slip and brilliant protection to be what I consider a top performer. I have used it a few times now and it never disappoints. If you do not like strong scented soaps, or are sensitive to fragrances, I can not recommend this soap highly enough!

Great lather

Jordan Finch on 22 January 2020

I started traditional shaving last year, and first purchased another brand's natural shave soap. I could never get a good lather from it, it was like soap suds almost. I thought it might either be my technique, or a good lather was not possible with a natural product. I powered through the whole container. When it came time to re-order, I decided to try a different brand and found Washpool. The product arrived today and I used it tonight. It produced a robust, almost effortless lather that did not fade away while I was shaving. It felt like cream, rather than soap suds. What a difference! I can now see that I will enjoy traditional shaving as I originally intended, rather than being frustrated by it. This is a great formula, I will continue to purchase this now, as long as its made.
