🌵 1870 Shaving Soap – Saddle Up for a Legendary Shave! 🤠
Howdy, partner! Mosey on down to the rugged charm of Silver City with our 1870 Shaving Soap, a tallow-packed treasure that’ll take your wet shave to the wild frontier. Crafted with the spirit of La Ciénaga de San Vicente, this soap wrangles the bold kick of Irish coffee ☕ with the smooth, creamy sweetness of vanilla 🌼 for a warm, comforting aroma that’ll have you hankerin’ for more. Each 3 oz puck is hand-poured with care, makin’ every bar as unique as a desert sunset. No artificial colors or preservatives here—just pure, old-west goodness! 🐎
This soap’s specially formulated to whip up a dense, creamy lather with a badger hair brush, givin’ you slick slip for a razor-sharp shave. Perfect for wranglers and city slickers alike, it’s your ticket to a smooth, close cut that’d make any gunslinger proud. 🌟
How to Use Your 1870 Shaving Soap 🪒
- Prep the Brush: Soak your badger hair brush 🦡 in hot water for at least a minute to soften the bristles and let ‘em drink up that moisture.
- Load the Soap: Shake off excess water from the brush. For a longer-lasting puck, pinch off a small bit of soap and smear it into a shaving bowl or dish, or lather directly in the soap’s recyclable black tin. Swirl the brush in circular motions to load it up. You’ll see big bubbles at first—keep goin’ till they shrink into a thick, creamy lather. 🤍
- Build the Lather: Work that brush like you’re roundin’ up cattle! Keep swirling until the lather’s rich and dense, like fresh-churned butter. 🧈
- Apply to Face: Paint the lather onto your face in circular motions, massagin’ it in. This softens whiskers, lifts ‘em for the razor, and builds an even thicker lather for a smooth glide. 🪮
- Shave & Rinse: Draw your razor and shave with the grain for a clean cut. Rinse your face with cool water to close them pores. 😎
Tips for a Thick, Creamy Lather 💪
- Water is Key: Adjust water as you go. Too dry? Add a few drops. Too wet? Keep swirling to thicken it up. Aim for a glossy, yogurt-like texture. 🥛
- Brush Quality Matters: A badger hair brush is your best pardner for a luxurious, cushiony lather due to its soft, water-retaining bristles. Boar hair brushes 🐗 are stiffer, offering excellent exfoliation and a firm grip on soap for a robust lather, though they may need breaking in to soften. A good synthetic can hold its own with consistent performance and quick drying. 🖌️
- Don’t Skimp on Time: Spend 30–60 seconds loading the brush and another minute building lather on your face for peak creaminess. ⏰
- Experiment: Try lathering in a separate bowl for more control and to stretch your soap further. 🥣
How to Store Your Soap 🛁 To keep your 1870 Shaving Soap lastin’ longer than a desert trail:
- Rinse off any leftover lather from the puck.
- Drain excess water from the recyclable black tin.
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated spot—avoid steamy bathrooms! A soap dish with drainage holes works like a charm if you move it from the tin. 🧼
- Let it air dry completely between uses to prevent mushiness.
