You use beer in your shave soap???

Generally, there is a certain look of intrigue I get when this question is asked. Yes, I use beer in my shave soap (and in some of my bar soaps also). Beer has a lot of great ingredients that help enhance soap properties. The natural sugars in beer help to boost lather in soap, and most people enjoy a wonderful lather when it comes to soap! There are also other ingredients in beer that are great for the skin.
Hops- hops are the main component of beer. They are rich in antioxidants and have been used in skin products to help with skin inflammation.
Barley-barley contains selenium which can help in fighting free radical damage.
Yeast- Brewer's yeast is high in B vitamins and chromium making it great for the skin.
I personally like to use beer that is local to Louisiana including Abita Beer, Bayou Teche Brewery, and Parish Brewing Company. I found after much experimentation that beer was the perfect vehicle for our shave soaps. The soaps do not smell like a bottle of beer, although some of the maltiness (is that really a word?) subtly comes through.
Our shave soaps are a dual lye cream type soap that also contain tallow, stearic acid, and Shea butter to make the skin soft and smooth after using it. So, if you are one of those who are getting into wet shaving, we'd love to hear your feedback! Comment below for a chance to win a tin of our shave soap!

I love using shave soaps. It gives me a nice, clean, smooth shave that I just haven't been able to achieve with store bought shave products. However I haven't used a beer shave soap yet.

Would love to win this for my husband. He suffers from psoriatic arthritis and inflammation. I already use the goats milk soap on myself and love it!!

I'd love to win for my husband. His face often breaks out after shaving and I'd like to see him use this and have less issues.

I would love to win this. I have recently used a bath soap with beer and it was great stuff.

My review from Badger & Blade yesterday, I'm going to bow out of the free Soap give away as I would rather someone else here have the pleasure of trying this fantastic shave soap:

Stop the presses. I have just stumbled upon the king of Tallow soaps. I was a little worried when it said air out prior to use but the Green Irish Tweed smelled amazing when I first opened it so into the Scuttle it went.

Slickness 9.5/10 the color here suggests that this is not only tallow but clay also. The slickness would back up my assumptions.

Cushion 9.5/10 you can see in the picture that this is just amazing cushion. You can be Reckless with a brand new blade and have a BBS shave.

Moisturizing 9.5/10 this is one of the best post shave feels I have had. Definitely top five. No need for aftershave or balm.

Scent 9.5/10 oddly enough I think that this could be stronger in the Scent department. When I heard that you should air it out before you shave I thought it would be overwhelming but it is the perfect amount of scent. A++

Overall 9.5/10 my new favorite Tallow shave soap. I wish they had these in samples so I could test all 10. It's going to be sad watching this box go to the next person knowing that I only get one shave with this incredible soap. I guess that's not much to cry about and I am so thankful that I was given the opportunity to try this soap. Absolutely stunning slick soap!

Always on the lookout for new Shave soaps and creams to try out even though my wife says I have too many already. (She thinks). The Green Irish Tweeds is one I'd like to try the most. Sounds delicious.
