Van Yulay’s makes a croap shaving soap. It is not a cream nor a hard puck. It is in between soft & hard.
Van Yulay whips up into a yogurt like cream lather in just a few minutes. Enjoy a rich and creamy protective lather with skin protective loaded with enriched vitamins and amino acids. We make each soap with your skin in mind. Ph balanced to have a smooth and irritation free shave. Each soap is piped in beautifully in an 8 oz. container.
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 with your After-Shave Balm by Van Yulay.
Shaving Soap Contents:
- Tallow – has been used as an effective skincare ingredient for centuries! As your skin need all vitamins to replenish the daily lives, tallow has Vitamin A, D, E and K, as well as Omega – fatty acids.
- Emu Oil – contains high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, therefore it is able to easily penetrate the skin’s barriers for deep moisturization. When compared to other types of oil, emu oil had 2-4 times greater penetration of the skin. These effects show that emu oil is able to moisturize and rejuvenate the skin extremely effectively.
- Silk Amino Acids – is a unique silk peptide and one of the best at reducing fine lines and other signs of aging. Keeping moisture locked in and harsh conditions out, leaving skin protected and well-nourished.
- Babassu Oil is an antioxidant and will help destroy the free radicals that cause premature aging and cancer. The oil is naturally anti-inflammatory and is often used to treat skin conditions such as eczema.
- Coconut Fatty Acid – excellent lathering and conditioning when used in shave soap.
- Bentonite Clay – Gives an extra creaminess and silkiness to the shave soap. Generally, white clay’s natural absorbing, detoxifying and exfoliating properties makes it an indispensable ingredient in shaving products.

My wife Brenda and I love to cruise (keep it clean, not that kind of cruising). On large ships, Carnival is our favorite. While on a cruise, we always go to our favorite bar, The Alchemy Bar. It is like an old school apothecary that will mix up something for whatever ails you. Brenda’s favorite is The Restorative Basil Drop (https://www.carnival.com/recipes/rest… In the video, you see the bartender slap the basil to release the oils. On a recent cruise, our bartender team Zora and Zoran, every time they did that, it was like spanking the basil, they would yell “Bad Basil!”. By the end of the cruise, the entire bar was yelling “Bad Basil.” So I thought , What about a shave soap line that was like the drink, but really make it bad by adding insane amounts of menthol. I spoke with Monica and Voila, and Bad Basil came to be !!
OK, at first you see the soap has a green tint. That’s because there is REAL BASIL in the mix. Basil is good for the skin (all those Italian Nonnas can’t be wrong !) But the lather does not turn green. It has fantastic scent. leading with the citrus and basil, followed by the vodka essence and then the menthol. When lathered it comes up in layers. and If I didn’t know better, I would have wanted to take a glass full. As I applied the lather, everything came together in a smooth yogurt like mix. The menthol snuck up on me but that was an added plus! The combination of the everything led to 1 fantastic shave !! I did 3 passes and was BBS !!
THe Splash has a stronger citrus scent IMO (of course YSEMV), and then the menthol again sneaks up on you to say “Hi, here I am “. Felt great. I am not sure if the balm has menthol. but I did feel a bit more cold after that.
Try the Bad Basil. It’s a good soap. I recommend it !!
See the full shave….https://youtu.be/ioIwJPlynMQ?si=_bGcgzUwFgNUqObR
