How to Use

First prepare the skin for shaving by exfoliating the skin. This removes dead and dry skin and helps to lift the stubble from the skin. We recommend using Bulldog’s Original Face Scrub for men. 

  1. Wet your Original Shave Brush with warm water and whip over the soap to create a dense lather 
  2. Using the brush, apply the foam to the face using circular motions to lift the hairs from the skin for a close shave 
  3. Shave the skin going with the grain with a clean, sharp blade such as our Original Steel Blades 
  4. Rinse off with warm water and pat the skin dry with a towel 

Follow with Original Aftershave Balm, designed to soothe and moisturise the skin after shaving 

For best results:

Use Bulldog’s shave soap for dry and normal skin before shaving to help prevent cuts and razor burn. 

Build your best men’s grooming habits by using a skincare routine consisting of a Original Face Wash, Original Face Scrub and Original Moisturiser

Reviews

Great product

"Really love this shave soap. Provides a good lather and a great shave. Disappointed there doesn't appear to be a refill to purchase anymore."

Noel M. (5/5)

good bowl, bad soap

"the soap is just too light, it dissipates way too quickly and is just more trouble than its worth, which is a shame since it smells so nice. I like the bowl, sturdy ands well made, not as good as a ceramic bowl (as they hold heat), but for the price, good nonetheless, still use it."

Kerry C. (3/5)

"Hubby says best shave he's had in years. Will be using this all the time from now on."

Soap that lasts

"Unlike other shaving soaps I have used, Bulldog soap remains firm and seems to last longer. I have no hesitation in awarding it 5*s"

Missing item (Shave Soap) and no reply to email

"I usually buy Bulldog products from the high street. However, this time I decided to try buying online. Unfortunately, one of the three products I ordered was missing when the package arrived. I emailed Bulldog about this and received a reply from an AI assistant (of course!). The AI assistant said the issue would be forwarded to a human (probably best!). However, more than a month later, I still haven’t heard anything. So I have paid for three items but received only two. Honestly, I expected more from Bulldog, as the company’s ethos seems generally good. But they have also succumbed to the inevitable race to the bottom by managing their customers through a fog of failing AI. A real shame."

Smooth shaving heaven. . 🪒

"I have used this shave soap for the past 5 years… it is superb. . easy lather, nice smell and leaves my face feeling smooth. I would not use any other product. ."

Nice bamboo bowl but I only wanted a refill.

"Very nice shave bowl, I like the bamboo ethic. Would have been nicer if the lid could secure to the bowl, as this is not something you can take on holiday with you. I actually only bought it for the refill soap as I have an existing shave bowl, but it seems nigh-impossible to get refills for it. The Christmas deal price on this bowl made it worthwhile, even though I won't be using the actual bowl."
