Product Overview
Moon Soaps Union Shaving Soap is a handcrafted, tallow-based shaving soap with a sharp, cooling take on a classic American-style barbershop fragrance. The scent combines fresh lemon, soft sandalwood, oakmoss, amber musk, bay, and a subtle touch of nutmeg for a complex barbershop profile with fresh, woody, aromatic, and warm elements.
Handcrafted in small batches, Union begins with locally sourced beef tallow that Moon Soaps renders in-house. The formula also incorporates shea butter, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, castor oil, glycerin, and menthol. Moon specifically added grapeseed oil for increased slickness and improved post-shave feel, while menthol provides a refreshing finish with a manufacturer-described moderate cooling sensation.
Quick Take
Union is a 6 oz tallow shaving soap for wet shavers who want a classic American barbershop scent paired with a noticeable but moderate menthol cooling effect. Moon Soaps describes the lather as thick and exceptionally slick, with grapeseed oil incorporated to enhance slickness and post-shave feel.

A Word from the Manufacturer
Union is Moon Soaps' sharp, cooling, and pungent take on a classic American-style barbershop fragrance. The concept looks back to the 1950s, an era the makers associate with craftsmanship and an appreciation for hard work.
The visual presentation continues that vintage theme. Moon Soaps drew inspiration for Union's packaging from coffee cans, beer bottles, and oil cans of the 1950s and 1960s.
At Moon, each shaving soap is handcrafted in small batches. The process begins with locally sourced tallow that is rendered in-house, then blended with plant oils, butters, essential oils, and fragrances to create the finished shaving soap.
Directions for Use
Load Union Shaving Soap with a damp shaving brush and build the lather either directly on the face or in a shaving bowl. Add small amounts of water gradually while working the soap until the desired lather consistency is reached, then apply for shaving.
