The Best Artisan Shaving Soaps for Autumn

Wet shaving in the Autumn is magical, but which are the best shave soaps and creams for this time of year?

According to the astronomical calendar Autumn starts on Saturday 23rd September 2023. As the leaves begin to change colour and the air turns crisper, wet shaving enthusiasts have a unique opportunity to adjust their grooming routines to match the essence of the season. Autumn is a time of transition, where the warmth of summer gives way to the cosy embrace of fall. Autumn is the time to roll out the shaving soap and creams that are warming with woody, smokey or earthy scents. 

At Agent Shave we have picked our favourite shaving soaps and creams to enjoy on these longer evenings:

Wickham Soap Co Shamrock Tweed Shaving Soap

Wickham Soap Co Shamrock Tweed Shaving Soap is a sophisticated blend of green and woody notes. Think weekend walks in the country, wellington boots & a gin in hand - it has that feel to it! An irresistibly seductive scent inspired by the famous Creed Green Irish Tweed scent that has much cult status around the world.

Autumn's arrival often means lower humidity levels and drier air, which can leave your skin feeling parched. Shamrock Tweed shaving soap is thoughtfully formulated with skin-nourishing ingredients that help moisturise and soothe your skin as you shave. This extra hydration is especially valuable during this season, ensuring your skin remains comfortable and supple.

All shaving soaps from Wickham Soap Co are not tested on animals, vegan friendly, paraben free, suitable for sensitive skin and lanolin free.

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Harvest Moon Shaving Soap

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Harvest Moon CK6 Shaving Soap has a dark and mystical scent!

It creates a dense, creamy lather that provides a superior cushion, allowing your razor to glide effortlessly across your skin.
