Best Shaving Soaps of 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s our list of the top shaving soaps currently available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Tallow-Based: Tabac Original<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

German-made Tabac Original is the quintessential shaving soap.  Relying on a tallow base, Tabac can generate a slick and well-cushioned lather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found that a liberal amount of water is required to get shave-ready results when using this soap with a badger shaving brush.  Given the thicker body of this shaving soap, straight and safety razors will perform well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fragrance, while subjective, was found to be quite pleasant. You can expect warm notes with hints of sandalwood as the lather develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the performance of this shaving soap is worth considering alone, the glass bowl container is an upgrade to any bathroom countertop.\u00a0 However, this shaving soap is intended for home use only.\u00a0 Not only is it a bit larger at 4.4oz, but also, the top of the shaving soap isn’t secure in any way; it just simply rests on the top of the jar.<\/p>\n\n\n
