The glass jar and presentation box distinguish this release from conventional plastic shaving soap containers.

A Word from the Manufacturer

SoCal is sunshine, attitude, and a little bit of trouble.

Bright, juicy tropical fruits hit immediately with this unique and robust Ariana & Evans scent. Pineapple, banana, passion fruit, and mango lead the way, with a crack of pink peppercorn giving the opening some bite. It is vibrant and playful, but do not mistake this for another sweet tropical fragrance.

As the fragrance develops, cade and oakmoss begin to dirty things up ever so slightly, bringing smoke, earthiness, and an edge that cuts through the fruit. Sandalwood and cedarwood add warmth and structure, while musk keeps everything smooth, sexy, and close to the skin.

SoCal, along with Asian Plum, was one of the first two fragrances Ariana & Evans offered when the brand began creating its own shaving soap. Both fragrances remain popular selections in the lineup.

Directions for Use

Wet a shaving brush with warm water and load the brush with shaving soap from the jar. Build a lather directly on the face or in a separate shaving bowl, adding small amounts of water as needed until the desired consistency is achieved. Apply the lather to the shaving area and shave using your preferred razor. Rinse thoroughly after shaving.
