Emperors affair was created to represent an eastern take on a spicy, citrus, oriental blend of fragrances, it has a slightly tropical profile with a dash of Ginger that adds a bit of eastern zing. This soap is a close cousin of our Nosy Bee soap, so if you are a fan of that one you know which to get next!
The soap has quite a strong fragrance profile and is prominent on the nose, the Lemongrass will hit your nostrills first and after a few whiffs the Ginger and Ylang Ylang will start to represent with their softer undertones.
The soft shaving soap is a combination of a tallow and vegetable oils/butters making it quite unique, this marriage works as good as any where you are willing to put in the time. The softer soap makes for quicker and more luxurious loading on the brush, and it can easily be worked into any other container of your choice without the need for heating it or grating it down. It is quite a luxerious soap that also looks the part in the pour profile.
The harder version of the soap has a plant oil and glycerine base which is a new addition to our offerings. This soap was specifically developed as a combination soap for shaving, body, beard and hair washing, a high quality product that performs very well in any of these tasks. The result is a single bar of soap that can be used for those times when you cannot pack a lot, but still need to come out the other side looking and smelling a million bucks. As this soap is made from sustainably sourced palm oil it can also be classified as vegan. Since it is harder, it is also a bit more economical than the softy, and also comes in slightly cheaper in purchase price on account of less ingredients. Don't think because this soap works for 'other things' it is not an excellent shaving soap, it will surprise you!
