Our Triple Delight Cream Shaving Soap is available in an assorment of Scents. This product is made with 3 butters (Shea, Cocoa & Mango) as well as Tallow, Lanolin, Coconut Oil & Castor Oils. We have added Goat's Milk to this to soothe the skin as well as Allantoin.

When you bring you warmed wet shaving brush to work with Triple Delight Cream Shaving Soap you'll find it explodes with thick, luxurious lather which gives you wonderful glide and cushion. Your skin will feel moisturized and pampered for the rest of the day instead of dry, tight and irritated.

Fragrances available:

* Energy - is a stimulating blend of citrus, including grapefruit, lemon and lime, with hints of fresh cucumber and jasmine, and a touch of pineapple, blackberry and champagne. Energy is an exciting mix that's perfect for spring and summer.

* Harmony - This is a combination of Geranium, Lavender, Patchouli and Clove Bud therapeutic essential oils.

Although this blend is not used at therapeutic levels there are some contra-indicators to be observed and we would be happy to review them prior to your purchase.

* Island Coconut - A perfect balance of nutty almond, fresh coconut & crisp ozone will have you thinking about laying back with a Margarita in hand and relaxing in the sun.

* Lavender Essential Oil.

* Lavender Patchouli - This is an deep, rich, earthy scent with a touch of freshness from the Lavender.

* Lavender Rose - is as it sounds.

* Ocean Deep - has a clean, inviting scent that opens with peony, water lily and lavender, mingling with airy tones of moss and light wood.

* Uplifting - is a combination of Sweet Orange, Bergamot and Rosewood therapeutic essential oils.

Although this blend is not used at therapeutic levels there are some contra-indicators to be observed and we would be happy to review them prior to your purchase.

We also carry duplicates of some of the gentleman's colognes:

* Aqua di Gio type;
* Cool Water type;
* Drakkar type;
* Extremely Sexy for Men type;
* Green Irish Tweed type;
* Old Spice type.

It looks and sounds delicious! One question about consistency- is it a soap or cream or in-between? Thanks.

**Malaspina** · 01-06-2011, 12:32 PM

Hi Jeff,

It is a cream, about the consistency of cool whip and it comes in a tub:

It is a volume of 4 oz, however the net weight is just over 2 oz lower because of the lightness of the product.

Thank you for asking....

Big news gents - I have worked with my insurance company to allow for international orders. My website has been changed to reflect this change.

Cheers

**Drybonz** · 01-12-2011, 12:51 PM

I noticed you have a cream in a tube pictured on the site, but I couldn't find it in the store. Is this a product that you offer?

**Malaspina** · 01-12-2011, 12:59 PM

It is and thank you for asking - let me put it back onto the store listings. I had removed it as I was out, but I have more ready to go.

This one is called Pure Luxury Cream Shaving Soap. The oils used are:

Tallow
Hemp Oil
Castor Oil
Lanolin

Give me about 10 minutes to get it re-listed.

Cheers

ETA Now listed under Gentleman's Corner Cream Shaving Soap.

Hi there - I'm sorry - there's not. However I am only one ferry ride away and the store is open Tuesday - Saturday 10 AM - 5 PM.

I've been around a couple of years but just opened the storefront in September due to customers request.

I hope you get a chance to come up to visit.

Just ordered all 3 samples today. Very much looking forward to them.

I was looking at your ASBs, but I couldn't find how big they were in the description. Are they the standard 100mL?

**Confilo** · 01-20-2011, 10:11 AM

My order should be arriving soon, it already on this side of the border.
Can't wait!

You're samples are in the mail as we speak. The Tamanu ASB is 50gr and a little goes a very long ways.
