Excellent shaving soaps. Also love their after shave lotions, soothing but not greasy, have tried Achilles Last Stand and Star Noir, both have a great fragrance but not overpowering.

Phoenix & Beau
Phoenix & Beau are UK artisan small batch soap makers based in Hitchin. As a wet shaver himself, Kerry wanted to produce a shaving soap that had reliable and consistent performance; something that would let the razor glide over his face without irritating it and something that would leave the skin feeling silky smooth. They have successfully created a shaving soap formula that produces a rich, dense and voluminous lather that is a joy to use.
Phoenix and Beau produce a core range of shaving soaps, post shave lotions and aftershave splashes alongside seasonal and limited-edition ranges.

Bewitching scent
This was my first "artisan" shave soap (bought alongside another from a different producer) and as noted in a previous review, the scent is subtle on first opening the pot. But my word does it build as you lather, and then lingers on the puck pretty much persistently after that. I love this smell, slightly woody, slightly floral, quite sweet, some musk to it. I leave the lid off in the bathroom after using it. I tell my wife this is to dry out the soap before putting the lid back on, when in reality I just love smelling the fragrance when I go back in there. It takes me somewhere I can't identify, but don't want to leave. The quality of the lather is also really good, and so far it's lasted me about five months of 2-3 shaves a week, and there's still a good amount left, although I have now hit the bottom of the pot in the middle of the puck. The shaves have been pretty darn good so far. Still honing my technique, but the slickness and cushion is quite forgiving. Sometimes I make extra lather just to smell it while I'm shaving. Seriously, delicious scent.
