LAXO Artisan Shave Soaps- Cold Spring

Leaning against a cold boulder by the stream, fiddle with the thick moss on the tree trunk with your fingers. Fully immerse yourself in the relaxing scents of flowers from the woods, and enjoy this peaceful and tranquil moment all by yourself.

Product features

Cold Spring features a cooling formula perfect for hot summer days, using imported WS-3 cooling agent that complies with food and cosmetic safety regulations. Unlike typical menthol cooling soaps which often have a strong minty or a pain patches smell, WS-3 is completely odorless and no irritation to your eyes. This cooling formula gradually creates a cooling sensation when the lather is applied to the face, reaching its peak during the second pass. Even the touch of a razor feels incredibly cold. The cooling sensation will lasts for over five minutes after rinsing. If you want to enhance the cooling effect, you can increase the soap ratio moderately under the condition of the same amount of water for a much stronger cooling effect.

LAXO tallow soaps can easily produce thick creamy foam with bouncy cushioning in a very short time. The silky-smooth soap film provides excellent lubrication and protection let's you glide all over your face with confidence and joy. There are many benefits of beef tallow such as moisturizing, soothing, repairing and anti-aging. Combining Shea butter and sweet almond oil for their excellent antioxidant and nourishing properties to significantly improve the skin quality.

Their tallow soap recipe has fantastic hydration and post shave effect.  No tightness at all after drying your face, which is why some of their customers even quit using aftershave balm. The refined golden jojoba oil has the property of small molecules that can be easily absorbed by skin. It also enhances the smoothness of the skin and form a protection with amazing deep hydration effect. It will continue moisturizing for several hours after washing and make the skin feel smooth and elastic.

Their entire line of shaving soaps are made using the authentic double-alkali heat process with natural plant and animal fats. Through their proprietary ingredient ratio and sophisticated hand-making techniques, each shaving soap is crafted in small batches, resulting in exceptional performance in terms of lathering power, foam support, smooth, protective film, and moisturizing properties, rivaling even high-priced imported soaps.

Each fragrance in the LAXO series is made of natural essential oils or imported fragrances certified by IFRA internationally. The goal is to create a distinct sense of identity and bring local olfactory memories into the shaving soap. Fruity notes such as red guava, Kyoho grape, pineapple, kumquat, etc. are blended into the shaving soap. Combined with the ingenious naming and situational cover, it creates an atmosphere and aesthetic that is completely different from European and American soaps.

Captain's Log- I don’t often rush to add a shave soap to my Captain’s Log collection, but this one instantly won me over the moment I lifted the lid. The scent is crisp and refreshing, transporting me straight to lush forests and clear, flowing springs. It lathers effortlessly, and the cooling sensation begins gently—building gradually without ever overshadowing the fragrance. Unlike most menthol soaps, where the chill dominates, here the cooling effect perfectly complements the scent, creating a truly unique shaving experience.  For this reason, I selected this for my special collection.
