Moon Soaps Trade Winds Shaving Soap 6oz

Product Overview

Moon Soaps Trade Winds Shaving Soap is a handcrafted tallow shaving soap with a bright, crisp summertime fragrance inspired by the tiki bar culture of the 1950s and 1960s. Caribbean bay leaf combines with warm tobacco and cedarwood, while bergamot and a zap of key lime bring a lively citrus character to the blend.

Trade Winds uses Moon Soaps' Tropical Tallow Formula, the same base recipe used for Havana Shaving Soap. The soft formula combines beef tallow with castor oil, aloe, shea butter, mango butter, palm oil, coconut oil, and glycerin and is designed to load quickly onto a shaving brush while producing a thick, slick lather. Each 6 oz tub is handmade from scratch in small batches.
