What is a shaving soap?
A shaving soap prepares the skin before shaving by softening and lifting the hair for a smoother shave.
This shaving soap bar contains naturally sourced and nontoxic ingredients. Not only is it a more ecological and economical alternative to shaving cream and shaving foam but it also provides a generous moisturizing lather that prevents irritations and razor burns.

What's in the box?
The large Bambaw shaving range meets everyone's needs
Bambaw offers a range of shaving products beyond the shaving soap. Discover a more authentic and traditional shaving experience with one of the many safety razor options, which come in bamboo and metal. Razor stands allow you to neatly store your metal razor after each use. You can also purchase your razor blade refills separately. To complete your shaving experience, the shaving brush will lather up the shaving soap and fully prepare your skin.
Traditional personal hygiene products are a threat to the environment
Many shaving creams, gel or foam bombs contain harmful chemical ingredients and artificial fragrances. Aerosols used for classic shaving creams and disposable razors are also very wasteful.
Our palm-oil-free shaving soaps contain naturally sourced ingredients, are vegan and cruelty-free. Our soap bars are safer for human health and for the environment.
The Bambaw shaving soap is environmental friendly. While the main ingredient of liquid formulas is often water, our shaving soap bars are not diluted and therefore more concentrated. As a result, a lot less water is used in our production process.
We also need and use a lot less packaging. The soap bars are made of recyclable cardboard and contain zero plastic. They are then lighter and take less space which reduces carbon emissions in transportation.
Returning to a more traditional shave to take care of you and the planet
As self-care practices attract more and more people, traditional shaving is coming back as the best way to achieve a smooth shave without creating tons of waste!
The shaving soap is a good step on your way to a zero-waste bathroom. Indeed, it creates a generous foam that allows for the smoothest shave. Using a shaving soap bar is a perfect alternative to a shaving gel or foam that comes in aluminium cans or plastic packaging and are harmful to the environment.
How to use a shaving soap?
1. Wet the shaving soap bar with warm water.
2. Wet the area that you want to shave with warm water.
3. If you have a shaving brush, rub the brush on the soap bar in a circular motion until it forms a lather. If you don’t have a shaving brush, rub the shaving soap directly onto your skin in a circular motion until it forms a gentle foam.
4. If the foam is not thick enough, you can repeat the process. Make a few tests on your first use to find which technique gives you the optimal foam.
5. Grab your safety razor and enjoy the perfect shaving experience.

It is not necessary to rinse out your soap after the use. Just let it dry and store it in a soap holder or in a dedicated bowl for shaving soap but any bowl or plate can do the work. Make sure to store it in a dry place, like on the sink or next to your shower or bathtub.
What is the difference between shaving soap and regular soap?
The Bambaw shaving soap bars have a special composition with naturally sourced ingredients selected for their beneficial properties for skin.

Our shaving soaps are specially made for these purposes.
