Experience the ultimate in natural shaving care with our Traditional Wet Shaving Kit – a skin-kind, close-shaving solution that lasts longer, feels better, and supports sensitive, allergy-prone skin. Choose from three artisan-crafted hemp oil soaps – Original (Unfragranced), Eucalyptus, or Neroli – all designed to reduce irritation, nourish the skin, and extend razor life. Paired with volcanic alum styptic for a clean, calm finish, this kit transforms daily shaving into a ritual worth keeping.

What's in the kit?

  • Handmade British Hemp Oil Shaving Soap (available in three variants)

  • Volcanic Alum Styptic – a natural crystal for post-shave care

  • Option to include a natural vegan Shaving Brush

Choose Your Hemp Soap Variant

Each shaving soap is made using traditional methods and is ideal for sensitive or irritation-prone skin. All three are low-foaming, high-slip, and packed with naturally occurring glycerine for exceptional razor glide.

1. Original Hemp Shaving Soap (Unfragranced)
Perfect for those with fragrance sensitivities or who work around animals. This soap has no added essential oils and only the faintest natural soap scent.
Ingredients: Cannabis sativa oil, aqua, potassium hydroxide (100% British hemp oil, lye, and water).

2. Eucalyptus Hemp Shaving Soap
Lightly fragranced with organic Eucalyptus globulus essential oil, offering a clean, refreshing scent and mild antimicrobial properties.
Ingredients: As above, plus Eucalyptus globulus leaf oil.

3. Neroli Hemp Shaving Soap
Scented with exquisite organic neroli essential oil – a rare and calming fragrance that adds a touch of luxury to your shave.
Ingredients: As above, plus Citrus aurantium (neroli) flower oil.

Note: Once saponified, the oil and lye become soap and glycerine – no lye remains in the final product.

Volcanic Alum Styptic


A small piece of natural volcanic alum (1-2cm) sourced from the deserts of Morocco. Unlike ammonium alum (an industrial by product), this natural mineral is purer and gentler on skin.

  • Closes pores and tones skin after shaving

  • Stops bleeding from nicks and cuts

  • Can help prevent shaving rash

  • Doubles as a natural insect bite soother

  • Larger blocks available separately as a deodorant

Alum is fragrance-free and should be rinsed and dried between uses.

The Shaving Brush


A high-quality shaving brush makes a real difference — it’s not just an accessory, but essential for a superior shave with our hemp soap & alum kit. Here’s why this brush is so valuable:

  • Materials & Build: Made with FSC-certified beech wood handle and sustainable boar bristle. Natural and eco-friendly. 

  • Stimulation & Lift: The stiffness of the boar bristles gently lifts stubble and exfoliates skin — improving the shave and reducing clogging or drag on the razor.

  • Multipurpose Use: More than just for shaving — can be used to apply oils or scalp treatments, for detail massage, or even other grooming tasks.

Why Choose This Shaving Kit?

  • Extremely close shave with reduced need to shave frequently

  • Soap is transparent when applied, helping with shaving precision

  • No skin occlusion – ideal for acne-prone skin

  • High glycerine content provides slip, reducing nicks and shaving rash

  • Razor blades stay sharp much longer

  • Leaves skin moisturised, smooth, and calm

  • Supports those with chemical sensitivities, allergies, and sensitive skin

  • Helps reduce ingrown hairs, which are often caused by poorly formulated shaving creams

  5. Shave and rinse clean.

  6. For nicks or irritation, wet the alum crystal and rub it over the affected area.

  7. Rinse the brush, the alum and the sink (tip use a Scrubby)

Yes – alum will sting on cuts! But it stops the bleeding quickly and prevents further irritation.

    • Eucalyptus & Neroli: 6 months unopened / use within 3 months of opening

  • Alum should be kept dry between uses. Store wrapped in a cloth or in ceramic/glass.

WARNINGS

  • Avoid contact of the soap and alum with eyes.
    Rinse thoroughly with water if needed.

  • If you have sensitive or allergy-prone skin please only use the original unfragranced hemp soap. 

  • Alum will sting on broken skin.

  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.

  • Always perform a patch test before widespread use.

  • If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

  • Secure soap lid during travel to avoid leakage. Wrap alum securely.


Hemp oil shaving soap for sensitive skin

We offer three types of hemp shaving soap - the original unfragranced hemp soap,  neroli hemp soap and eucalyptus hemp soap.

All soaps are a traditional 'soft soap', ideal for shavers who develop a shaving rash or who are plagued by ingrown hairs. 

Hemp Oil Soap Original INGREDIENTS Cannabis sativa oil, aqua, potassium hydroxide. In other words, 100% British hemp oil, lye and water.

The Eucalyptus Hemp Soap also contains an organic essential oil - Eucalyptus globulus leaf oil. Please note, once these ingredients are mixed properly and the chemical reaction known as saponification takes place, the oil and lye water are transformed into soap and glycerine.

If you have sensitive skin, please just use the plain unfragranced hemp soap and the eucalyptus and neroli essential oils contain allergens which can cause skin reactions in people who are sensitive to their constituents. 

More uses for alum

Did you know you can also use volcanic alum styptic for insect bite relief – just drop saliva on the bite and rub the crystal over the bite, starting at the edge (to stop the bite spreading) and working inwards over the bite.

Large pieces of volcanic alum are used as a highly effective and safe deodorant, great for people who are sensitive to commercial deodorants and who want an unfragranced deodorant which really works.

FAQs

Question: I have really sensitive skin and react to most shaving products – will I be able to use traditional soap and alum?

Answer: So far, even people with sensitive skin have given both the hemp soap as well as the alum, the thumbs up. Try the unfragranced hemp soap to start with...

Question: I’d like a bigger piece of alum to use for shaving an deodorizing. Can I get one here?

Answer: You can certainly get a large and impressive alum crystal in our shop. Barbers and shaving aficionados may prefer using the larger alum styptic /blocks. If you can't find a piece large enough for you liking, call us as we have crystals which are up to a foot long!

Warning: You will want to read the classics after you read this book!
Format: Hardcover
This book beautifully captures what I didn’t realize was possible until I got to college: That the Lord can speak through great literature. When I was younger I largely avoided reading any fiction books because I felt guilty for not reading my Bible (but for some reason my apologetic books were ok? Lol). However, this book seeks to show (and I think accomplishes quite well) that great literature isn’t a hinderance to the Christian life but actually serves to cultivate a deep and thoroughly Christian imagination. Great literature has the capacity to convict you of your sins, to invoke worship and prayer, and to cultivate our desire to live lives of virtue. Great literature is a mirror through which you can examine your own way of life, but it also acts as a lens through which you can see with fresh eyes the world around you. The author presents a lot of helpful practical advice in here too. Like how to know if a book is worth reading, different ways to approach reading books, as well as a thoughtful critique of the bad logic often used in Christian circles to avoid reading great literature. “In a world that tries to convince us that we are computers or animals, that treats us like automatons or worker bees, what better protest than the reading life? If we are to be fully human, we must practice human acts— civility, creativity, contemplation, charity.” All four of these acts are intertwined with reading great books! So let’s get to it!

A Book to Read and Read Again
Format: Hardcover
I finished this book a few days ago and have been obsessing over it in my mind ever since. Hooten Wilson (which is a delightfully fun name) is a brilliant scholar, excellent guide/teacher, and lover of Christ and the written word and all of that shows on every page. This book is a call to look up from our screens and dive deep into the written word, both Scripture and literature. It is equal parts inspiring and practical. The robust and rich writing of the author is still easily accessible. As one who grew up in love with books and reading, I moved to almost exclusively non-fiction in my adult years. This book inspired me to return to the beauty of fiction once again and to see the value of the written word as a way to love God, not just to gather and process information. I will definitely be reading this one again.

Rich Academic Insight
Format: Hardcover
Near the beginning of "Reading for the Love of God," Jessica Hooten Wilson addresses why we should read fiction, responding to arguments in some Christian circles that we should only read the Bible. Other topics that she covers include the difference between using and enjoying books, how reading can help us develop greater virtue, and how we can rightly interpret books through the "trinity" of rightly balancing the text, the author's intent, and our own takeaways, instead of forcing the text to mean whatever we want. She also shares "bookmarks" between chapters about the reading lives of Augustine of Hippo, Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglass, and Dorothy L. Sayers. These sections are thoughtful and encouraging, and the latter two are my favorite parts of the book. There is a recommended reading list at the end that offers many wonderful selections, but I want to offer one quick warning. She includes the graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's "Kindred" in her list for school-age readers, and although she mentions that it's more for the 10-12 age range, it is an adult book. The main character is an adult, and the graphic novel includes vivid on-page depictions of racial violence, attempted rape scenes, and a lot of talk about rape. Some older kids can handle that, but it would terrify others and was never intended for that age group. Reading and the Bible Hooten Wilson emphasizes that enhancing our reading skills through literature will help us better read, understand, and appreciate the Bible. She makes excellent points about how learning to read different literary genres will help with biblical interpretation, and she makes a convincing case for how practicing our interpretive skills and becoming more fluent with metaphor and other literary devices will enhance our experience with the Bible. However, I felt that she sometimes went too far, making it sound like Bible-reading is an activity for the well-educated and well-practiced. God intended the Bible for everyone regardless of their socioeconomic class, abilities, or educational level, and even though reading the Bible badly can have negative consequences, this book focuses more on our own literary skills than the power of the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to us, convict us, and comfort us through Scripture. Hooten Wilson provides excellent next steps for people who want to deepen their relationship with the Bible, but I wished that she had articulated additional vital context around this. Audience This book is highly academic in content and tone, and even though I enjoyed this book and found it very enriching, it is only for serious readers. Hooten Wilson writes about highly abstract concepts in complex ways, and she often uses specialized vocabulary without explaining what she means. She also makes lots of references to monastic practices and obscure literary works that even highly bookish Christians are unlikely to be familiar with. This book shares rich scholarly perspectives, but it is not for reluctant or casual readers, especially since Hooten Wilson only acknowledges the worth of popular-level books in the special section on Dorothy L. Sayers. It disappoints me that Christian books about reading are almost always written at such a lofty level that they are inaccessible to the people who need them most. I read hundreds of books every year, including dozens of academic ones, but I still felt that parts of the book were beyond me. If someone wants to begin getting more serious about reading, I would recommend Karen Swallow Prior's "On Reading Well" as a more accessible alternative with similar themes. My other concern is that Hooten Wilson was always the expert in the anecdotes she shared, never the person learning something new. Only one anecdote bothered me in and of itself, and that is the chapter-opening illustration about a time when she set up an undergrad student for embarrassment to make a point during class. The other anecdotes don't involve power differentials and were perfectly fine, but taken together, they give the impression that the author needs to feel superior. I am sure this was unintentional, but I wish she had given examples of times that she lost an argument and learned something new. Conclusion Overall, I enjoyed "Reading for the Love of God," appreciating Hooten Wilson's unique insights and her scholarly perspective on the spiritual importance of reading. This book is deep and thoughtful, and there are a lot of important messages about reading great books to expand your mind, enhance your understanding of Scripture, and become closer to God. However, this book is so dense and academic that it is only for scholarly readers. I wish that this book could be an on-ramp for people who want to get more serious about reading, but it will probably just make them feel judged, lectured at, and so overwhelmed that they give up. This book has great value for people who inhabit the author's literary world or are so well-read that they can make the leap, but I hope that the she will consider ways to effectively reach popular audiences in the future.

Inspiration and affirmation of the richness of a reading life
Format: Hardcover
I listened to Hooten Wilson give a talk about the book and immediately pre-ordered it. It did not disappoint. I haven’t binge read a book like I did this one since last year with Abolition of Man. It was a delight to learn more about some extraordinary and diverse readers such as Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglas, Dorothy Sayers and others. Hooten Wilson does an excellent job make a case for the ways reading both the Word and literature expands our capacity for living rightly and for reflecting God.
