What is The Personal Barber Shaving Club?

The Personal Barber is the curated shaving subscription that wants to turn your daily chore into a satisfying experience to look forward to.

We passionately believe that making the switch to a single-blade razor will change your whole outlook on shaving. Not only is it kinder on your skin so you can achieve a close shave without razor burn or rash, but there’s something very satisfying about using a single-blade that just isn’t felt from a modern, plastic, multi-blade razor.

That’s why we created our shaving club where you’ll be learning the art of the classic wet shave whilst getting to try a range of fantastic products to breathe life into your morning routine. Every 6 weeks, we curate a selection of only the finest wet shaving gear and men’s skincare essentials from all over the world, introducing you to the lesser known brands and small businesses that you don’t see in the supermarkets.

Make the switch to one of our single blade razors (included in your first box) and find out exactly what you’ve been missing:

  • Warm scented lathers and effortlessly close shaves.
  • Suitable for sensitive skin. Eliminate irritation and say goodbye to shaving rash!
  • Artisan soaps/creams, post-shave balms, colognes and more. Every kit is different so you’re never bored.
  • A clean conscience, no more plastic cartridges. Our blades are 100% recyclable.

Pre-shave box – Post-shave box – Extra-care box

Our latest kit is the “Post-Shave Box” which will be going out to renewing subscribers between April 1st – May 15th. On top of a new shaving cream and restock of 10 blades, this kit always features a post-shave balm to help calm the skin after shaving and promote the healing process so it feels comfortable all day long. We also usually showcase a new fragrance to elevate your ritual.

Nomad Shaving Cream from The Personal Barber

Nomad Shaving Cream RRP £9.95

Nomad is for those who carve their own path—crafted for the modern explorer who refuses to be tied down. Expertly handmade in East England by our skilled artisan soapmaker, this premium, vegan-friendly shaving cream delivers a rich, luxurious lather that transforms your daily shave into a ritual of precision and indulgence.

Free from parabens and packed with skin-loving ingredients like coconut oils and glycerin, Nomad provides exceptional glide and hydration, ensuring a smooth, comfortable shave every time. It’s designed to be effortlessly easy to lather, whether in a bowl or directly on your face, creating a thick, protective cushion that helps prevent irritation.

Nomad’s scent is a journey in itself—vibrant, daring, and unmistakably masculine. It opens with a fresh burst of bright bergamot, its citrus zest cutting through the air like the first light of dawn on an open road. A heart of lavandin adds a clean, herbaceous touch, while black and pink pepper bring a fiery edge, evoking the thrill of uncharted territories. As the scent settles, earthy green vetiver takes hold, grounding the fragrance with a deep, sensual richness that lingers just long enough to leave an impression.

Like all our shaving creams, Nomad’s fragrance is designed to enhance your shave but fades upon rinsing, allowing your chosen aftershave to shine.

How to Use: Scoop an almond-sized amount of Nomad with a dry finger, then use a damp brush to work up a lather in a bowl, your hand, or directly on your face. This cream is quite thirsty, so don’t be afraid to add a few extra drops to build a thick, cushioning lather. To maintain the integrity of your cream, avoid introducing water directly into the tub.

A Bold, Lasting Scent

Dorco Titan Double Edge Replacement Safety Razor Blade Pack of 10

Dorco Titan Double-Edge Blades RRP £3.90

This month, we're excited to include a 10-pack of razor blades instead of the usual two 5-packs. This is because many exceptional blades only come in 10-packs, and we wouldn't want you to miss out on experiencing them!

Dorco Titans are a Korean brand that are manufactured in Vietnam. They are exceptionally sharp blades that work best in a mild razor and have great longevity. Expect to see 4-8 shaves per blade.
