Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: Unlike standard shaving creams or foams, the YAQI Ouds Artisan Shaving Soap is an artisan-crafted hard soap puck made with premium ingredients like Shea Butter, Bentonite Clay, Vegetable Glycerin, and natural Oud essential oils. It produces a thick, rich, cushioning lather that offers superior razor glide, blade protection, and post-shave skin softness — a favourite among traditional wet shavers and safety razor enthusiasts.

Q: Is the YAQI Ouds shaving soap suitable for sensitive skin?

A: The formula uses nourishing, skin-friendly ingredients such as Shea Butter, Vegetable Glycerin, and Pure Essential Oils designed to moisturise and protect the skin during shaving. However, if you have known sensitivities to specific fragrance ingredients (such as patchouli or oud oil), we recommend doing a small patch test before full use. As always, discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Q: How long does a 170g YAQI shaving soap puck last?

A: A 170g artisan shaving soap puck typically lasts between 3 to 6 months with daily use, depending on how much soap you load onto your brush per shave. Hard soap pucks are known for their longevity compared to tubes or tubs of shaving cream, making them excellent value for money.

Q: Can I use this shaving soap with any shaving brush?

A: Yes! The YAQI Ouds Artisan Shaving Soap works well with all types of shaving brushes — whether you prefer synthetic, badger, or boar bristle brushes. A slightly damp brush loaded with good pressure on the puck will generate a luxurious, dense lather in seconds.
