Nestled in the woods of Gilsum, New Hampshire lives Badger: a small, family-owned, family-run, and family-friendly personal care company that uses the finest organic plant extracts, oils, and minerals in their all-natural skincare. Founded in 1995 by Bill Whyte, a carpenter working in the cold New Hampshire winters, the company is often recognized for its legendary Badger Balm.
A purchase from Badger doesn’t just treat your skin right: it supports the environment, independent farmers, and the small staff over at Badger. They only use ingredients that fit their rigorous standards for healthy agriculture, minimal processing, sustainable supply chain, and of course, benefits for your skin. When possible, they source USDA Certified ingredients, with classics like their balms being 100% USDA Organic. Badger combines years of tradition and research with lots of time, effort, and love to create products naturally rich in powerful antioxidants and vitamins.
Badger is more than just talk. They’re proud to be a certified B-Corp, meeting rigorous third-party standards at every aspect of production and manufacturing. The “Badgers” have one mission: to create fabulously pure and effective products made from the highest natural quality, based on simplicity and thoughtful preparation–not chemicals and toxins. They believe that business should be fun, fair, and profitable; where money is fuel, not a goal.

Manly smell, was using as women to shave legs. It works well though.

Lathers well, almost too much! A thin layer works great for shaving.

I’m new to safety razors and this is the first shaving soap I’ve tried. Keep in mind I’m new to this so I could just have no idea how to use the product correctly! I use it on my neck and scalp and a little on my cheeks (facial 😉). I find it lathers nicely but needs to be reapplied frequently. If you only apply a little, then shave a little, it works great. If you try to lather your entire scalp, it’ll end up too thin and flat by the time you get to most of it. I find the scent pleasant and unobtrusive. I’m satisfied with the purchase and, if I don’t come across a better plastic-free alternative, I’ll happily buy this again.

This product has an overwhelming smell and it’s not a very nice one, in my opinion. It is a very strong citrusy scent, reminiscent of bug juice.
It seems to suds and work well and I think it will last a while making it good value, but I’m not sure I would buy again based on the scent.
Please consider making a lighter or non-scented option of this product!

Hello Debbie! This shaving soap is approximately 3in. across, a perfect addition to your shower. Not too big, not too small!

Works well enough but does not stay slippery enough and is too soap like. On the plus side it is thin enough that it doesn’t clog my safety razor.

This is the first solid shave soap I’ve used. It lathers up easily, and I get a close, smooth shave.

This works really well, better than most other shave soaps I’ve tried, and it takes very little to create lather so it will last a long time. It doesn’t clog my razor and provides a nice clean shave with no irritation.

I love this shave soap! It goes under the arms, on the legs and even between the legs (outside only!) and provides a silky surface for my razor to glide over. Highly recommend.

This soap smells absolutely amazing, AND it made shaving so smooth. I only got one tiny cut on my leg opposed to the 3-4 I would normally get.

I bought this for my partner who hates shavings is face, yet hates having facial hair. I knew he would like shaving more if he had a product that protected his skin better. Sixth months later, he’s shaving more often than he did before without having to worry so much about his sensitive skin.

I was using regular old soap for a while to shave (trying to be eco-friendly) and this works way better. Very smooth. I find the bar much more “aesthetic” than a can of shaving cream too.

I recently switched to a safety razor. This makes it easy for the razor to glide over my skin. It smells great too!

Can the shaving soap be used with an electric shaver?

EarthHero –
Hi Richard! Though most electric shavers can be used dry and sans soap, if you like adding soap in, this one should work wonderfully. It lathers and moisturizers all at once!

I recently switched to a safety razor but I couldn’t get that close shave that I used to be able to get with a disposable razor. When I tried this soap I got a perfect shave! This stuff is so smooth and lovely!

I just started the journey of a low impact life. While some people are okay with not shaving I am not one of those people. This product is easy to use and didn’t seem to clog my razor or leave a residue.
