About Hanami Soaps

Hanami Soaps is a Spanish artisan brand focused on traditional grooming products made with a modern approach to formulation and sustainability. The brand produces vegan shaving soaps and aftershaves designed for traditional wet shaving, with an emphasis on effective performance, skin care and thoughtfully developed fragrances.

The current Hanami Soaps collection at The Razor Company includes shaving soaps and matching aftershave splashes, with products made in Spain.

Vegan Shaving Soap Made in Spain

Hanami shaving soaps are vegan and made without animal-derived tallow. Instead, the formulations use plant-based ingredients to create the slick, creamy lather needed for traditional wet shaving.

Depending on the individual soap, ingredients can include stearic acid, coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, castor oil, glycerin, jojoba oil, aloe vera and other plant-derived ingredients.

Formulations can vary between products, so customers should review the individual product page when specific ingredients are important.

Traditional Brush Lathering

Hanami shaving soaps are designed to be used with a shaving brush.

A damp brush can be loaded directly from the soap before building the lather either on the face or in a shaving bowl. Water can then be gradually added until the desired creamy consistency is reached.

This traditional lathering process allows the wet shaver to control hydration and consistency while creating the slickness and cushion needed for the razor.

Hanami Shaving Soap Fragrances

Fragrance is a significant part of the Hanami Soaps collection. Rather than following one signature scent profile, the brand explores traditional and contemporary fragrance styles.

Depending on current availability, the collection can include fragrances ranging from barbershop-inspired compositions to tropical fruit, florals, woods, spices and richer modern profiles.

Classic takes inspiration from the traditional barbershop, combining lemon and bergamot with fresh mint over sandalwood and cedar.

Purple Orchid explores a softer floral direction centered around orchid with a smooth, powdery character reminiscent of traditional barbershop fragrances.

Mango Bay offers a brighter tropical experience built around juicy fruit, citrus nuances and soft powdery accords.

Other Hanami fragrances expand the collection further, making scent preference one of the easiest ways to choose between products.

Hanami Aftershave

Many Hanami fragrances are also offered as matching aftershave splashes.

This allows wet shavers to begin with a scented shaving soap and continue the same fragrance after the final pass. Current TRC offerings include soap and aftershave pairings across multiple Hanami fragrances.

Using matching products is optional. The soaps and aftershaves can also be mixed with other fragrances according to personal preference.

A Modern Approach to Traditional Shaving

Hanami combines the traditional ritual of brush-lathered shaving soap with a contemporary emphasis on vegan formulation and environmental awareness.

The brand's approach grew from a broader interest in traditional soapmaking with reduced environmental impact and more conscious consumption. Its shaving line applies that philosophy to products specifically developed for wet shaving.

For customers seeking an alternative to tallow-based artisan shaving soap, Hanami provides a plant-based option without moving away from the traditional brush-and-lather shaving experience.

Choosing a Hanami Soaps Fragrance

Start with the type of fragrance you normally enjoy.

Wet shavers who prefer familiar traditional grooming scents may want to explore barbershop-inspired options such as Classic. Those who enjoy floral fragrances can look toward Purple Orchid, while tropical and fruit-forward profiles such as Mango Bay provide a brighter direction.

Because Hanami continues to develop additional fragrances, the product grid above provides the best view of scents currently available at The Razor Company.

When a matching aftershave is available, it can be paired with the shaving soap for a coordinated scent from the shave through the post shave routine.

Who Is Hanami Soaps For?

Hanami Soaps may be particularly appealing to wet shavers looking for vegan shaving soap made in Spain.

The brand can also suit customers who enjoy artisan fragrances and matching soap and aftershave combinations. Its fragrance range moves between traditional barbershop influences and more contemporary tropical, floral and modern profiles, providing options for different scent preferences.

For customers transitioning into traditional wet shaving, the soaps also provide the familiar process of loading a shaving brush and building a hydrated lather without requiring a tallow-based formulation.
