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 August 16th – September 30th. On top of a new shaving soap 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 solid cologne in this kit which we believe is one of the most exciting new products that every gentleman must try.

Magnate Shaving Soap RRP £9.95
We’re proud to present Magnate, the latest addition to our exclusive line of artisan shaving soaps, crafted in small batches by our skilled soap maker in Wales. Made especially for The Personal Barber subscribers, this vegan, tallow-free formula creates a rich, creamy lather that cushions the skin, softens hairs, and enhances every pass of the blade.
Magnate is an elegant, commanding scent designed for those who lead with quiet confidence and undeniable presence. It opens with a fresh, uplifting blend of geranium, oakmoss, bergamot, lemon, plum, and crisp apple, awakening the senses from the first moment. At its heart, warm notes of carnation, mahogany, and cinnamon bring depth and sophistication, before settling into a smooth, enduring base of olive tree, vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, and vanilla. The result is a refined fragrance that balances freshness, spice, and wood in perfect harmony.
Magnate is more than a shaving soap; it’s an expression of authority and style. Whether preparing for a decisive meeting or an evening of distinction, this fragrance sets the tone for success.

Seven Potions Post-Shave Balm RRP £13.97
Seven Potions is a British brand on a mission to equip modern gentlemen with uncompromising, high-performance grooming products made from the finest natural and organic ingredients. Every formula is carefully tested and refined to deliver exceptional results without unnecessary additives.
Their award-winning Post Shave Balm is crafted to calm irritation and replenish hydration after your shave. Antioxidant-rich barley and cucumber extracts help protect skin from free radical damage, while witch hazel and babassu oil provide anti-inflammatory relief to reduce redness and razor burn.
The lightweight, non-greasy texture sinks in quickly, leaving skin feeling smooth and comfortable. Its subtle scent carries warm, slightly medicinal notes for a clean, classic finish.
To use: After shaving, massage a pea-sized amount into skin that’s still slightly damp. For extra hydration, follow with a moisturiser to lock in moisture.
Vanguard Solid Cologne RRP £19.95
We’re thrilled to introduce our latest solid cologne, crafted to our own unique formula and now available in the effortlessly refined Vanguard fragrance. Unlike traditional sprays, solid cologne is alcohol-free and water-free, making it portable, discreet, and perfect for top-ups on the move. Made from a luxurious blend of berry wax, jojoba oil, shea butter, and carefully chosen parfum, it nourishes your skin as well as keeping you smelling your best.
Vanguard is a fragrance of timeless elegance. It begins with a crisp lift of bergamot, softened by the aromatic calm of lavender. As it settles, rich cedarwood and sandalwood blend with the subtle spice of vetiver, creating a warm, confident heart. Finally, a base of ambroxan adds a musky, lingering depth that leaves a quiet but memorable impression.
To use: Rub your finger over the balm and apply to pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears — the natural heat will help release the fragrance. For a stronger projection, use the back of your nail to scoop out a little more.
