A great grooming routine is built on consistency. The products you reach for each morning should not only perform well, they should leave you looking and feeling your best throughout the day. This month’s Discovery Box focuses on exactly that, combining a richly scented artisan shaving soap with two proven skincare favourites that help keep skin looking fresh, healthy and well cared for.
Whether you are refining your routine or simply enjoying a few extra moments of self-care, this selection is designed to bring comfort, confidence and a touch of everyday luxury.
What is The Personal Barber Shaving Club?
The Personal Barber Shaving Club is a subscription that delivers carefully selected wet shaving and grooming products directly to your door. Each box introduces you to artisan makers, respected grooming brands and carefully chosen skincare products, all selected to help you get more from your daily routine.
How the boxes work
Each month follows one of three themes:
Pre-Shave - focuses on preparation and protection
Post-Shave - centres on recovery and skin comfort
Extra-Care - introduces products that support your wider grooming routine.
This month’s Extra-Care box pairs an artisan shaving soap with two skincare products designed to help maintain healthy, refreshed skin long after the shave is complete.
Warden Shaving Soap
Handmade in Wales by our skilled artisan soapmaker, Warden is a tallow-free shaving soap created for those who appreciate traditional craftsmanship and exceptional performance.
Working up into a rich, protective lather, it softens the beard and creates a smooth surface for the razor to glide across with ease. The dense cushion helps reduce friction and irritation while allowing for a close, comfortable shave. Whether face lathered or built in a bowl, Warden delivers the kind of consistency and slickness that wet shavers look for in a premium shaving soap.
The fragrance is equally impressive. Warden opens with exotic spices before revealing a rich heart of oud, sandalwood and earthy vetiver. A warm base of amber, tonka bean and vanilla brings depth and refinement, creating a scent that feels calm, confident and quietly commanding. Rich without being overpowering, it transforms the daily shave into a genuinely enjoyable ritual.
Like all of our shaving soaps, the scent rinses away cleanly, allowing your aftershave or fragrance to take centre stage.
To use: Swirl a slightly damp brush over the surface of the soap for 10 to 15 seconds until well loaded. Build your lather in a bowl or in the palm, gradually adding water until it develops into a soft, creamy lather with a luxurious sheen, usually after around 60 seconds of whipping.
Ingredients: Stearic Acid (Palm), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil (sustainable), Persea Americana (Avocado) Oil, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Glycerine (Vegetable), Alpha-Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Oil, Parfum (Contains: Linalool, Linalyl Acetate, Tetramethyl, Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes)
Percy Nobleman Age Defence Moisturiser
Percy Nobleman is a British grooming brand that has built a loyal following through its combination of traditional gentlemanly style and modern skincare expertise. Their products are made in England and designed to help men look and feel their best with minimal fuss.
This month's inclusion marks the return of a previous subscriber favourite. The Age Defence Moisturiser proved particularly popular when we featured it before, making it an easy choice to bring back.
The formula combines vitamin C, ginger root and griffonia seed extract to help support healthier-looking skin. Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection and can help brighten uneven skin tone, while ginger root helps defend against environmental stressors and the appearance of fine lines. Griffonia seed extract helps improve skin firmness and elasticity, supporting a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Despite its rich texture, it absorbs surprisingly quickly and leaves no greasy residue behind. Used regularly, it helps keep skin hydrated, comfortable and looking its best throughout the day.
To use: Apply morning and evening after cleansing. Massage a pea-sized amount into slightly damp skin until absorbed. When using after a shave, apply as the final step in your routine once your post-shave balm has settled.
Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Ascorbic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Griffonia Simplicifolia Seed Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Volcanic Soil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sucrose Stearate, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Coco-Glucoside, Xanthan Gum, Tocopherol, Coconut Alcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid, Parfum (Fragrance), Amylopectin, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Benzyl Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citric Acid, Limonene.
Lunar Glow Brightening Under Eye Serum
Lunar Glow is a Norwich-based skincare brand focused on vegan-friendly, cruelty-free formulations that deliver effective results while remaining easy to incorporate into a daily routine.
Their Brightening Under Eye Serum is designed specifically for the delicate skin around the eyes. Formulated with probiotics, green tea, caffeine and pomegranate, it helps target some of the most common concerns associated with tired-looking eyes, including puffiness, dark circles and fine lines.
What makes this product particularly enjoyable to use is the rollerball applicator. It glides effortlessly across the skin and provides an instantly cooling sensation that feels especially refreshing during warmer weather. It takes only seconds to apply but can make a noticeable difference to how awake and refreshed you look.
To use: Run the serum underneath your eyes morning and evening after cleansing.
Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Propane-1,2-diol, Betaine, Pentylene Glycol, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Water, Xanthan Gum, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate, Cocoyl Proline, Sodium Phytate, Lactobacillus Ferment, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Extract, Glycerin, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Caffeine, Alcohol, Lonicera Japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) Extract, Sodium Levulinate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Sodium Anisate, Mica, Lactic Acid, CI 77891 (Anatase).
Gillette Platinum & Astra Superior Stainless Double Edge Blades
This month’s blade selection pairs two trusted performers that have earned loyal followings among wet shavers worldwide.
Gillette Platinum blades are known for their smoothness and consistency, offering a comfortable yet efficient shave that works well across a wide range of skin and beard types.
Astra Superior Stainless blades provide a slightly different feel, balancing sharpness and comfort to deliver dependable everyday performance. They are particularly appreciated for their versatility and forgiving nature.
Together, they offer an excellent opportunity to compare two highly regarded blades and discover which best suits your own shaving style. Expect to get between 3 and 7 shaves from each blade, depending on beard thickness, number of passes and how the blade is stored.
