A Shaving Soap Experience
Shaving Soap of the Gods
“Into the Woods”
Through the eyes of: Tom More!
Description of Shaving Soap Scent:
The smell of the Adirondack Mountains. Predominantly pine, with hints of leafy birch and maple, the smell of a far-off campfire burning, the fresh earth from the forest floor, the cool breeze (Menthol) blowing in from the lake.
Notes of Pine, Maple Wood Smoke, Sweet Birch, saim wood, Undertones of Grass, Juniper, Sea Moss and Honey.
Van Yulay has made a shaving soap that is luxurious with butters of Kokum & Cocoa that give the shaving experience over the top. Shaving with quality clay of Kaolin with give you that glide in your BBS shave.
Description of Shaving Soap:
Van Yulay makes a croap shaving soap, that is neither a cream or a hard puck, but in between.
Van Yulay shave soap whips up into a yogurt like, creamy lather in just a few minutes. Formulated with a superior, protective cushion, we make each soap with your skin mind. With that said, we incorporate quality, vitamin enriched, oils and butters, chosen specifically to hydrate your skin.
“Leaving your skin better than when we first met.”
Notice: These shave soaps are soft and heat-sensitive. Please keep this in mind, should you live in an extremely hot climate, with regards to product shipment.
How to use:
Soak your shave brush in a bowl or cup filled with hot water for a few minutes before your shave. Apply a warm, damp towel to your face (or splash face with warm water) to prep your face for shaving. Apply another hot towel to your face for a few seconds. After the brush has soaked, gently squeeze out excess water, still leaving the brush mostly wet. Apply the brush to the soap in fast, repeated circular motions to coat the brush bristles well. Shave and rinse face thoroughly with cool water. For an optimal experience, finish with Van Yulay After Shave Splash then followed with your After Shave Balm by Van Yulay.
Shaving Soap Contents:
· Abyssinian Oil is lovely and light with an exquisite skin feel! This natural oil contains a high percentage of unsaturated C22 fatty acids, but is very stable against heat breakdown and is highly resistant to oxidation. Abyssinian oil is a ultra light carrier oil that has an excellent cushioning feeling on the skin. The oil spreads easily, without any feeling of “tack” on the skin and without a feeling of greasiness. The light nature of Abyssinian provides hydration and protection from water, without clogging the skins pores.
· Calendula – is used to disinfect minor wounds and to treat infections of the skin. The antibacterial and immunostimulant properties of the plant make it extremely useful in treating slow-healing cuts and cuts in people who have compromised immune systems. The herb stimulates the production of collagen at wound sites and minimizes scarring. Natural moisturizer with powerful emollients and protective properties.
· Cocoa Butter – has been used traditionally in India for hundreds of years to soften skin and restore elasticity and as a balm for dry, cracked, rough, and calloused skin.
· Babassu Oil – is considered to be a superior emollient that is beneficial for either dry or oily complexions. It gently moisturizes the skin without leaving an oily sheen.

Into the Woods combines Pine, smoke, wood, moss, grass and menthol to create to my nose a very distinctly masculine cologne-ish scent. It would make a lovely aftershave or cologne.
Performance of the soap is outstanding, which is a standard feature of Van Yulay soaps.
If you are looking for a Pney, woody, mossy type fragrance, Into the Woods delivers.
Good stuff!
