Glycerin shaving soap in handy tub for those that prefer this type of container. Comes with twice as much soap as our regular rounds. Tub is 3 1/4" diameter. Contains six ounces soap.

Ingredients: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil), Elaesis Sp. (Palm Oil), Ricinus Communis (Castor Oil), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower Oil), Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Purified Aqua (Water), Sodium Hydroxide, Sorbitol, Sorbitan Oleate, and Vitamin E from Glycine Soja (Soybean) and essential oils as applicable. (It is the reaction of Sodium Hydroxide with oil and liquid that makes soap.)

Lathering

To use a shaving brush: Moisten area to be shaved with warm water to soften hairs, thoroughly wet brush, shake off some excess water if necessary, rotate and lather bristle tips over shaving soap (like stirring a cup of coffee, for example) to coat with soap and apply in a back and forth and slightly circular motion to the shaving area - the lather is created on your face.

It's all about the water - too much and you get bubble water, too little and you get dry film and insufficient lather. Generally speaking, it is not a thick interfering foam like what is found in store brand shaving canisters, but rather a layer that allows the razor to slide along the face without too much foam to get in the way of a close shave. You can control the amount of lather created by how much water remains in the brush, how much soap or cream is applied to the bristles and the scrubbing motion used on the shaving area. Experiment and you will find what works best for you. Soap or Cream? More info...

Handy Tub

Kenny - 11/9/2020

This is a great product that is the same on the first day and the last. I usually by an 8oz tub and it will last me a year. With a hot shaving brush lathering this up, it knocks down the nubs and leaves you crying for more.

Using for years

Les Douglas - 2/19/2014

I have been using the large tub of glycerin shaving soap for years (bay rum or lavender) and love the stuff. I have tried cheaper soaps and more expensive creams but have never found a product that stacks up to the quality of the large blue tub of glycerin soap sold by Em's Place. It lathers well, smells grrrrreat, shaves close and rinses clean. What else could you ask for? It helps to make shaving one of those daily little pleasures.

Great Soap

This is the first soap I've used from Em's. I should have tried it sooner. Very nice lather and the scent is not too overwhelming as some others tend to be.
