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 bring life to your morning routine. Every 6 weeks, we curate a selection of only the finest wet shaving gear 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 “Extra-care box” which will be going out to renewing Discovery box subscribers between August 16th – September 30th. With this kit we usually feature products that aren’t usually associated with shaving but provide the extra piece of the male grooming puzzle such as a top quality moisturiser or serum.
We also have a smaller sized box, called the Essentials box, that features just the latest picked shaving soap/cream and a restock of 10 DE razor blades. This is for members that want to try new soaps and creams but would rather pick their own extra products. You can add any additional items to your Essentials Box without incurring extra postage fees.

Cowboy Shaving Soap RRP £9.95We’re thrilled to introduce Cowboy, a brand-new shaving soap created in collaboration with our exceptional artisan soap maker in Wales. Crafted exclusively for The Personal Barber subscribers, this bespoke soap is designed to elevate your shaving experience.
Made with shea butter and a tallow-free, vegan formula, Cowboy shaving soap effortlessly whips into a dense and cushioning lather. This thirsty lather is stable and long-lasting, ensuring a comfortable shave while softening hairs and leaving your skin feeling well-moisturised.
Picture yourself under the expansive, star-studded skies of the American frontier, where the warmth of a crackling campfire dances on your skin, and the desert breeze whispers freedom. The essence of this untamed spirit is captured in Cowboy, a shaving soap that evokes the raw, rugged beauty of the Wild West.
Cowboy opens with the intriguing warmth of cardamom, leading into a heart of delicate iris and violet that adds a subtle, yet captivating floral touch. The scent deepens with a rich blend of smoky sandalwood and robust cedarwood, creating a grounding, woody base. Accents of spicy, leathery, and musky notes weave through the composition, delivering a unique and comforting aroma.
Cowboy is more than just a shaving soap; it’s an experience that transforms your daily routine into a moment of adventure and indulgence. Embrace the freedom of the open plains with every shave.
The scent is designed to be enjoyed only during your shave. It’s a rinse-off product so the scent doesn’t linger long and therefore won’t interfere with your choice of aftershave.
To use: Work a slightly damp brush (not dripping) on top of the soap for 10-15 seconds until the tips are well-loaded. Build your lather separately in a bowl or in your hand, adding water gradually, until you achieve a soft and creamy, meringue-like consistency (about 60 seconds).

Q + A Skincare Retinol Facial Serum RRP £12Serums are the secret weapon your grooming routine needs because they penetrate deeper than moisturisers. While moisturisers focus on the top layers of your skin, serums target the lower levels, ensuring comprehensive skin health.
Retinoids are the gold standard in skincare, renowned for their unparalleled effectiveness in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and enhancing skin texture. They accelerate cell turnover, resulting in a visibly healthier and more youthful complexion.
This serum is expertly formulated with a low-irritation grade of retinoid, making it ideal for those new to retinoids. It also harnesses the soothing benefits of Bisabolol and Squalane to calm the skin while delivering powerful, youth-boosting effects.
Natural Squalane, derived from Olive Oil, is a vegan-friendly alternative to Squalene, offering exceptional moisturising properties and fast absorption, suitable for all skin types.
Bisabolol, originating from the Candeia Tree and also found in Chamomile, is renowned for its naturally soothing qualities, traditionally used to calm dehydrated and stressed-out skin.
To use: Retinol should be gradually introduced into your regime to build up tolerance, starting with once or twice a week and building up to more frequent use. In the evening, prior to moisturising, apply one pump of product onto dry skin, avoiding the delicate area directly under the eyes.
Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Propylene Glycol, Isostearyl Isostearate Ethyl Olivate, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Glycerin, Triheptanoin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Squalane, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Bisabolol, Saccharide Isomerate, Jojoba Esters, Helianthus, Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Tocopherol, O-Cymen-5-Ol, Xanthan Gum, Glyceryl Stearate, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Caprylyl Glycol, Polyglycerin-3, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid.
