Sandalwood with Shea Butter shaving soap in bowl from Proraso of Italy is designed for those who prefer the traditional method of using a shaving brush. After wetting your brush stir it inside the bowl to create the desired foam. Then lather your face. Prepares skin for shaving by softening and lifting even the most dense beards. Thanks to its natural components provides a pleasant coolness and intense hydration. An excellent semi-solid shaving soap (more like a very thick paste than a solid soap) with a very subtle sandalwood fragrance. The nicely-formulated shaving soap has a base of coconut oil & glycerin for lubrication, and does not contain parabens, silicone, mineral oil, or SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). A small amount of soap creates a thick lather. The 5.2oz/150ml bowl has a snap on cover. $9.99
