Sandalwood Shaving Soap
A traditional shaving soap, warm sandalwood scent. Loaded with a damp brush it builds a dense, cushioning lather; the blade rides on cushion, not skin. Glycerin draws in water, hydrating dry skin so the blade glides.
One 100g bar outlasts several cans of foam. Best built in a bowl; ours is carved to fit it.
Sandalwood 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 sandalwood: warm, woody, and matched to our shaving soap, so the ritual ends where it began.
100ml, a few dabs a day. Also in Aegean Citrus.
Description
Description
The soap and the balm, both sandalwood, sold as the pair they get used as.
Lather the puck for the shave. The balm goes on after, while the skin is still warm; one scent through the whole routine rather than two arguing.
No razor here, and none needed: it works with whatever is already in the cabinet. The 100g puck will outlast the balm by a few months.
The barbershop finish, brought home. A first gift for someone curious about traditional shaving, or a restock for someone already there.

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.
Kronos Safety Razor
A single blade safety razor built to be kept. The enclosed head covers the blade corners, the cause of most nicks, and sets a forgiving shave angle, so it bites less around an Adam's apple, a knee, an armpit, or a scalp. One blade cuts at the surface, kinder to skin than five stacked cartridges.
No plastic in either. Two handles: chrome-plated brass, knurled and weighted, or bamboo, warmer to hold. The matching stand dries the blade upright between shaves; a dry edge lasts longer.
Short strokes, light pressure, settled by the third shave for most. Guidance included. Takes any standard double edge blade, about ten pence a shave.

Frequent Questions
What's included in The Sandalwood Pair?
Two pieces: the sandalwood shaving soap and the matching sandalwood aftershave balm, sold together as the pair they get used as.
The Sandalwood Pair is a small shaving set built around one decision: one scent, carried through the shave and after it, so nothing clashes on the way out the door. Lather the soap for the shave; the balm goes on after, while the skin is still warm from the water.
The soap is a traditional shaving soap, sandalwood scented, built to load with a damp brush into a dense, cushioning lather. The balm goes on afterwards: alcohol free, calming on skin the blade has just been over, absorbing quickly and leaving no film behind.
Buying them as a shaving set means the same sandalwood scent runs through both halves of the routine, loaded with a shaving brush and worked into skin once the blade is put down. The decision of which scent to reach for gets made once, at checkout, instead of twice each morning, so the soap and the balm never pull in two directions.
The sandalwood scent runs across the wider Kronos care range, including the standalone Sandalwood Aftershave Balm, so a soap, cream, or balm from the same line never clashes with another. The five minutes a shave takes are already accounted for, and the scent stays settled for both halves of it, from the first lather to the last minute after the blade is put down.
