Through the eyes of “Tristan Archer”
Description of Shaving Soap:
Van Yulay makes a croap shaving soap, that is neither a cream or a hard puck, but in between.
Van Yulay shave soap whips up into a yogurt like, creamy lather in just a few minutes. Formulated with a superior, protective cushion, we make each soap with your skin mind. With that said, we incorporate quality, vitamin enriched, oils and butters, chosen specifically to hydrate your skin.
“Leaving your skin better than when we first met.”
How to use:
Soak your shave brush in a bowl or cup filled with hot water for a few minutes before your shave. Apply a warm, damp towel to your face (or splash face with warm water) to prep your face for shaving. Apply another hot towel to your face for a few seconds. After the brush has soaked, gently squeeze out excess water, still leaving the brush mostly wet. Apply the brush to the soap in fast, repeated circular motions to coat the brush bristles well. Shave and rinse face thoroughly with cool water. For an optimal experience, finish with Van Yulay After Shave Splash then followed After Shave Balm by Van Yulay.
Shaving Soap Contents:
· Kokum Butter- has been used traditionally in India for hundreds of years to soften skin and restore elasticity and as a balm for dry, cracked, rough, and calloused skin.
· Lanolin Oil – Lanolin-based shave soaps work well if you have extremely dry skin. Lanolin falls into the lipid-rich emollient class of moisturizers. One of the causes of dry skin is a lack of lipids, which allows water to escape. Lanolin fills in those gaps, preventing future water escape. It is typically mixed with a humectant, which holds moisture to the skin.
· Tallow – Tallow does a great job of giving shave soap a nice rich creamy lather and good conditioning properties.
· Castor Oil – Castor oil is a wonderful moisturizer. The high concentrated fatty acids penetrate the skin easily. This helps remove dry patches and restores hydration of the skin.

Weinersg –
Have been using Thymes – Aqua Coralline soft soap for years and this soap’s scent is it! The soap itself is superb. Lathers easily and provides a good post shave feel. For me, it’s up there with other more well known tallow based artisan soaps. YMMV, but I would try this if you’re looking for a great aquatic scent. Same holds true for the after shave and balm.
