Abbate y La Mantia - Don Jose' Hard Shaving Soap, 80g

A refreshing tropical shaving soap that hydrates, cools, and soothes the skin, inspired by a true family story.

Don Jose, the grandfather of the Abbate y La Mantia family, was a 19th century Sicilian farmer who imported coconuts and bananas from Honduras. Ice was used to preserve the fruit during shipping; now reimagined in this soap through natural menthol crystals.

This formula blends the sweet scent of coconut and banana with a fresh, icy menthol sensation. Menthol crystals help reduce skin sensitivity by creating a cooling effect, calming irritation, and relieving itchiness. Their tonic effect also helps tighten blood vessels and refresh tired skin.

Combined with AYLM’s saffron extract, known for its antioxidant and anti-aging benefits, this soap offers a smooth, cooling shave ideal for hot weather or sensitive skin.

• Provides instant cooling and toning with menthol
• Soothes irritation and itching
• Leaves skin soft, refreshed, and lightly scented
