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
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.

Wooden Bowl with Sandalwood Shaving Soap
The sandalwood soap and the mango-wood bowl, sold as the pair they were carved and poured to be. The puck sits snug in the recess; the brush loads without chasing it round the sink. Rinse the bowl warm first and the lather comes up looser, faster.
This is how shaving soap is meant to be used. When the puck is done, the bowl takes any standard soap.
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.

Frequent Questions
Will the shaving soap help with dry skin?
Yes. Glycerin in the soap pulls water into the lather, so dry skin stays hydrated and the blade glides rather than catches.
How do I load the soap?
Work a wet brush over the puck until it picks up a good amount, then build the lather in a bowl. It comes up dense and cushioning, so the blade rides on lather rather than skin.
What is sandalwood shaving soap made from?
A triple-milled vegetable soap base of stearic acid and coconut fatty acids, with glycerin, scented with a sandalwood accord.
What size is the soap puck?
A 100g puck, 63mm across, shaped to fit our shaving bowls.
Sandalwood shaving soap for skin that drags under the blade instead of gliding: glycerin in the puck draws water into the lather as it builds, hydrating dry skin so the razor moves smoothly across it. Load it with a damp brush and it builds into a dense, cushioning lather within a few strokes.
A blade needs water at the surface to glide, and dry skin gives it too little. Glycerin in this shaving soap pulls water in as the lather builds, so moisture reaches the skin itself as well as the foam sitting on top of it. It is a traditional format, a puck rather than a tube, built to be loaded fresh each time.
Load a damp shaving brush against the puck until the lather thickens, then work it onto the skin; between shaves the puck sits ready in the Wooden Shaving Bowl. A puck asks more of the first few minutes than a canned foam, since it has to be loaded and built by hand.
Sandalwood, warm and mellow, is the scent used across the wider sandalwood range, so a soap, cream, or balm from Kronos never clashes with another. What it returns is a lather that lasts through a full shave without collapsing, with glycerin working into the skin the entire time the brush is on it.
