The best artisan shaving soaps for Spring

As traditional wet shavers we love a seasonal shaving soap! Have you ever wondered why sometimes you prefer a certain shaving soap at different times of the year? Well, your sense of smell can be more acute during Spring as there is more moisture in the air. 

Spring can start at different times of the year. The Meteorological Spring is the months of March, April and May. This year the astronomical dates for Spring are 20th March to 20th June 2025. 

When Spring arrives the air is crisp, nature stirs from its winter slumber, and your mission is clear: refresh your wet shaving routine with scents that embody the season’s awakening. We're talking bright citrus bursts, fresh florals, and smooth aquatic notes—each capable of transforming your shave into an invigorating ritual.
