Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes YAQI Franken Scent Artisan Shaving Soap different from regular shaving creams?

A: Unlike standard shaving creams, this is a handcrafted artisan shaving soap made in collaboration with Master Soap Creations using a premium exclusive base. It contains high-end skin-nourishing ingredients like Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Tussah Silk, and Dpanthenol that condition the skin during the shave — ingredients rarely found in mass-market products. The result is a luxurious, dense lather, superior blade glide, and noticeably softer skin after every shave.

Q: What does the Franken Scent fragrance smell like?

A: Franken Scent is a master blend of exotic fragrances curated from around the world, brought together into one complex, captivating scent. The signature characteristic is a unique, fresh leather note that ties all the fragrance elements together, making it intriguing, bold, and long-lasting throughout your shave.

Q: Is this shaving soap suitable for sensitive skin?

A: The YAQI Artisan Shaving Soap formula is designed with skin care in mind, featuring soothing and moisturising ingredients such as Vegetable Glycerin, Shea Butter, and Bentonite Clay. The formula contains no high-concern chemical substances. However, if you have known fragrance sensitivities or allergies, we recommend checking the full ingredient list and performing a patch test before use.

Q: How long will a 170g puck of shaving soap last?

A: With regular daily use and proper loading technique, a 170g artisan shaving soap puck typically lasts anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Loading the brush for around 20–30 seconds will provide enough product for a full, rich lather for each shave without wasting product.

Q: Can this soap be used with any type of shaving brush?

A: Yes — this artisan shaving soap works excellently with all brush types including synthetic, badger, boar, and horse hair brushes. For the best lather, a quality shaving brush with good backbone and water-holding capacity is recommended to maximise the soap's creamy, dense lather potential.
