56 BÖKER MANUFAKTUR SOLINGEN BOKER SOAPS Everyone can imagine intuitively or has already experienced that a wet shave without soap or oil is practically impossible, or at the very least torture for skin and razor. Nobody really thinks about how the soap actually works. Soap mainly has three functions in wet shaving. The first and most important is to soak the beard hairs to make it easier to cut. The tensides in the soap emulsify fats, which glue the scales of the cuticle – the scaly layer of the hair – and opens them. This allows water and soap to enter into the hair and soften it. As a result, the scales of the beard hairs, which open to the side, stand up. This way the cortex – the fiber stem of the hair – gives the straight razor the ideal place to “attack.” You should let the dense foam of the soap act for at least two minutes. The foam has to be kept wet for the duration of the entire shave. Re-apply soap as necessary. The second characteristic of the soap is that it lets the blade slide over the skin easier. And finally, the soap provides an optical guideline to see what part of the face has already been shaved. It also helps mark off contours of partial beards by drawing lines into the foam on the face. After the shave, soap residues should be washed from the skin with cold, clear water. The cold water shrinks the pores of the skin and closes any small cuts. Whether to use an aftershave or lotion after this is a question of taste and skin type. Quality attributes of shaving soaps are that they effectively soften the hair and leave the skin free of irritation and tension after the shave. For this purpose, we offer two outstanding shaving soaps on two different bases. Those who like it "old school" will use soap based on beef tallow, which is what our great grandfathers used. For this soap we chose the classic male fragrance, TOBACCO. Those who reject the use of animal products on principle will prefer our shaving soap based on herbal lauric oil. We carry this soap with the traditional, warm SANDALWOOD fragrance. Apart from a minimum natural color difference in the uncolored soaps, both products are basically identical in use and attributes. Shaving soap can also be foamed by hand if necessary. However, the shave becomes more comfortable and authentic only when you use a porcelain cup. The porcelain cup should be taller than the piece of soap, in order to guide the brush and prevent the soap from running over the side. The cup should also provide a safe grip, even with wet or soapy hands.
