Artisan Shaving Soap - Premium Edition with Sheep's Milk
$ 19.99 $ 24.00
This premium formula is jam packed with skin food, antioxidants and anti-aging goodness. Because of how much goodness is included in my formula don't expect a super dense thick lather, expect a lower density lathering experience that still offers an incredible shave. You will benefit by blooming with about 1 -2 tsp of water prior to lathering.
This premium base does have some of the same incredible ingredients as the previous artisan shaving soap such as plant and botanical extracts, sheep's milk, tallow, castor, and lanolin. Through my research, I have found and added a few more luxury oils and other ingredients that make this soap measures above what I have offered previously.
Expect super slickness. Expect great cushion. Expect a much-improved lathering experience. Expect the post-shave to be even better than any version I have ever made without a greasy feel.

The scent and performance of this soap is TOP NOTCH and is among the best shave soap I have used. LNHC products are TOP TIER.
I'm a bowl latherer and despite loading my brush 4 times I could only get a lather the consistency of melted whip cream. Very runny. The many extra herbal ingredients probably are the root cause of an unstable lather. Also, the scent, while nice, didn't remind me of a barbershop scent, but more of the floral scent I remember when I accompanied my mother to a hair salon when I was a child. As is it's probably going to end up being used as a bath/hand soap.
I purchased this soap unused but secondhand from a fellow hobbyist, in the Gentleman's Lavender scent. As a traditional shaving hobbyist of nearly a decade, I've used well over 100 different brands of artisan shaving soap in my life, and as far as quality and performance go, this may have cracked the top 10.
The texture of the soap in the tub was very smooth, and of a brown color. It had a slight shine to it. Very neat and appealing. As far as loading into my brush goes, the soap behaved like no other. It didn't burst into cloudy, airy lather with a wet brush - it remained very thick, sticky, and shiny. As I added water, it thickened into the consistency of a lighter Elmer's Glue, without the stickiness. This is so packed full of butters and oils that I was honestly very skeptical of it, especially since the lather looked so different from my other soaps - this one was almost a liquid when dialed in properly, rinsed with almost no water, and dripped off my razor at times, which is the hallmark of a properly hydrated lather.
Simply put, this soap is no joke. The slickness when hydrated is off the charts, and the nourishment the war chest of oils and butters provide is absolutely second to none. I have notoriously dry skin in the winter, and this is the only soap I've ever lathered that has left my hands feeling MORE hydrated rather than less.
The scent is a well-executed lavender blend that is not cloyingly floral. It's deep, it has character, and I suspect 2 or more quality Lavender essential oils have been blended to achieve the complexity of the lavender accord. Strength is strong as far as lavenders go, which tend to be light.
I've shared the brand with my hobbyist colleagues with a strong recommendation. This is a wonderfully unique artisan soap in the marketplace, and deserves some spotlight.
Amazed by the shave. The performance is fantastic, easy to make and very slippery creamy lather.
Delicate and long lasting aroma, to my nose its amber, musk, chocolate, rose.
What an amazing Aftershave Elixir! it's like nektar on my freshed shaved head. I used two pumps on the head and one of face and neck and it was fantastic
Great job Lisa. Thank you!
Also thank you for the presents to the order
Some months ago I bought Lisa’s tobacco and bay face/body lotion and loved the subtle, wonderful scent. I asked her if she could do a shaving soap in that scent, and I was delighted to order it. Like all her shaving soaps, it produces a rich, slick cushion and just feels soothing and aromatic on the face. Another winner!
