Aegean Citrus Aftershave Balm
An aftershave balm for skin the shave leaves irritated. Alcohol free, with witch hazel, a natural astringent, to settle nicks that sting. Lightweight and non-greasy; it absorbs quickly and leaves no film.
The scent is Aegean Citrus: a crisp blend of bergamot and sea salt, bright without being loud.
100ml, a few dabs a day. Also in Sandalwood.
Shaving Brush
A shaving brush in soft synthetic fibre; vegan, quick to dry, holds its shape. It does two jobs the hand can't: builds a dense lather from soap or cream, and lifts the beard so the blade meets it cleanly rather than pressed flat.
Synthetic dries faster than badger and asks for no upkeep. Store it bristles-down on the stand between shaves.
Wooden Shaving Bowl
A shaving bowl carved from grained mango wood and treated for water resistance. The recess holds the soap puck snug, so it stays still while the brush works. Pre-rinse with warm water and the wood holds a little heat, loosening the lather as it builds.
Sized for the Kronos 100g puck; takes any standard shaving soap after it.

The Aegean Citrus Shaving Soap is a triple-milled citrus shaving soap, made in Wiltshire, England, for wet shavers whose skin drags under the blade. Glycerin in the puck draws water into the lather as it builds, so the skin stays hydrated and the razor glides. The scent is Aegean Citrus: Sicilian lemon and petitgrain, with a green edge of rosemary.
It is a vegetable soap made in the UK, milled three times before it is pressed into a puck 63mm across. Work a damp brush over the top until it picks up a good load, then build the lather in a bowl or on the face; it comes up dense and cushioning, ready for the blade. The puck sits snug in the recess of the Wooden Shaving Bowl, which holds it still while the brush works.
The scent is the reason to choose it over our sandalwood soap. Lemon and petitgrain read clean and bright on a cold morning, and the rosemary gives the citrus a green, herbal finish. For a warmer, woodier lather, the Sandalwood Shaving Soap is the same ritual in another scent.
A puck asks more of the first minute than foam from a can. It has to be loaded and built by hand, with a shaving brush lifting the hair before the razor meets it: a minute given to the shave itself. The 65g puck comes pleat-wrapped in glassine paper, with no tub or carton to throw away, so the soap is all that stays on the shelf.
