The Art of the Wet Shave

A Better Shave Starts Here.

Shaving was never meant to be a hurried morning chore or an expensive cycle of plastic cartridges and razor burn. When you slow down and embrace the traditional wet shaving ritual, you unlock the closest, smoothest, and most comfortable shave of your life.

Lather & Wood Wet Shaving Ritual - Safety Razor, Brush, and Sandalwood Soap
The Mindful Shaving Ritual
Zero Drag. Zero Burn. Pure Comfort.
5 Blades Included

The 4-Step Grooming Ritual

Crafted for Skin Health. Designed for Pleasure.

When you replace multi-blade scraping with single-edge precision and cushion-rich lather, shaving shifts from a skin-damaging chore into a daily moment of focus and confidence.

βœ• The Plastic Cartridge Chore

3 to 5 blades drag across dry, sensitized skin. The first blade pulls the hair up while following blades slice beneath the surface, resulting in painful ingrown hairs, burning razor rash, and overpriced replacement plastic cartridges.

βœ“ The Classic Wet Shaving Ritual

A warm lather conditions the follicle. One single, ultra-sharp double-edge blade glides flush with the skin line without tugging. Natural oils and soothing balm leave your face moisturized, calm, and effortlessly smooth.

Step 1 Β· Prep

Pre-Shave Oil

Massage 4–6 drops of nourishing botanical oil into clean stubble. It softens tough whiskers and creates a microscopic lubricating barrier that protects against blade friction.

Luxury Shaving Soap - Sandalwood
Step 2 Β· Lather

Soap & Brush

Swirl your damp synthetic silvertip brush over the tallow soap to build a dense, warm lather. Painting it on lifts hairs and suspends them in a protective cushion.

Purchased the Sandalwood ensemble of pre-shave oil, soap, and balm, and after using it a few times it is without a doubt the best of the best. Very rarely do you see a set of products truly complement each other β€” Lather & Wood has accomplished just that.

I've used badger brushes for over 65 years β€” my dad taught me to shave with a straight razor as a young man. This synthetic silvertip brush works very nice. Incredible lather density and zero shedding.

One of the best shaving soaps I have ever used! A tiny swirl builds an immense, warm mountain of lather. The subtle sandalwood fragrance lingers perfectly without overwhelming.

Switched from a 5-blade plastic razor to the Baron Classic. My chronic neck irritation and razor bumps disappeared within one week. Shaving is finally something I look forward to.

Common Inquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the razor come with blades?

Yes, 5 starter blades are included in the box with every Baron safety razor and starter kit, so you are ready to shave the moment your package arrives. The Baron takes any standard double-edge razor blade, readily found at pharmacies, grocery stores, and online for roughly 10Β’ to 15Β’ per blade. (Note: We do not stock standalone refill blade packs).

Will I cut myself learning to use a safety razor?

The razor is called a safety razor precisely because its comb and top plate are engineered with a fixed guard that exposes just enough blade edge to shear facial hair without digging into the skin. Shave after a warm shower, hold the handle at a gentle 30-degree angle, take short strokes with the grain, and never press down. Within 2 to 3 shaves, it becomes second nature.

How long does a tin of shaving soap last?

With daily use, our 4.7 oz luxury shaving soap typically lasts between 3 to 5 months. A damp brush loaded with 10–15 seconds of gentle swirling is all it takes to build mountains of rich, cushioning lather.

What are your shipping rates and delivery times?

We offer Free Standard US Shipping on all orders over $50. Both The Complete Starter Kit ($99.95) and The Essential Starter Kit ($67.95) automatically qualify! Orders are processed from Seattle within 1–2 business days and typically arrive in 3–7 business days.

Which scent should I choose?

Sandalwood is our signature flagship fragrance β€” warm, masculine, woody, and refined. Barbershop is a crisp, clean vintage aroma reminiscent of classic mid-century barbershops. Bay Rum is an invigorating spiced scent with notes of bay leaf, clove, and citrus. Scent selection never changes the kit price.
