Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite 21st Century Shave Soap is based on Fine's famous Snake Bite Aftershave. That has little fragrance but a hefty dose of menthol to wake your face and your senses up post-shave. This soap follows the same strategy, extending that fresh menthol feeling to the lathering and shaving process, all the while nourishing your skin with various beneficial oils.
The texture of this soap is actually somewhere between a hard soap and a cream, leading some to call it a 'croap'. It's made in Italy in the Italian style and contains the perfect balance of various fats, providing real benefits both during and after shaving.
Mango butter reduces inflammation and redness. Containing oleic acid, palmitic acid, polyphenols and phytosterols, this mix of active ingredients has an anti-inflammatory, soothing and emollient action on skin stressed by shaving.
Beef tallow creates a protective layer on the skin. This helps provide protection from nicks and cuts, letting the razor glide rather than stuttering over the face.
Argan oil soothes, hydrates and rebuilds. Among the finest oils in the world, argan is a miracle for the skin. Here it performs a repairing and regenerating action, while the emollient and soothing triglycerides help to rebuild the lipids of the skin stressed by the blade.
Jojoba oil softens and elasticises the skin during shaving, making your shave more comfortable and safe.
Castor oil provides body and structure for the formula.
Coconut oil nourishes and increases razor glide. At the base of every vegetable shaving soap, coconut oil provides smoothness as well as nourishing the skin, greatly lowering the chance of dehydration.
