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 January 1st – February 14th. 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.

Prince Shaving Soap RRP £9.95
We’re thrilled to introduce Prince, 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, Prince 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.
Step into a world of refined elegance and timeless allure with Prince, a shaving soap that embodies sophistication and confidence. Inspired by the essence of modern royalty, Prince transforms your daily shave into a ritual of indulgence and refinement.
The fragrance begins with the invigorating zest of grapefruit and bergamot, awakening your senses with a bright, citrusy freshness. As the scent evolves, the heart reveals a bold and aromatic blend of spicy clove, herbal cypress, and earthy angelica, adding depth and intrigue. Finally, the warm, luxurious base notes of sandalwood, rich oud, and sensual musk create a captivating finish that lingers subtly, leaving an impression of understated opulence.
Prince isn’t just a shaving soap — it’s an experience that elevates your grooming routine to a level of regal sophistication.
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).

Organic & Botanic Madagascan Coconut Energising Facial Serum RRP £34.99
Organic & Botanic is an ethical skincare brand dedicated to creating effective, planet-friendly products. Using the finest botanical and naturally derived ingredients, their range is a minimum of 98% natural and fragranced only with pure essential oils. Designed with both your skin and the environment in mind, each product is crafted to deliver exceptional results.
Serums are a must-have in any skincare routine because they deliver a concentrated dose of active ingredients deep into the skin, targeting specific concerns like fine lines, dryness, and dullness. While moisturisers focus on the skin's surface, serums work below to maximise hydration, improve texture, and promote long-term skin health.
The Madagascan Coconut Energising Facial Serum rejuvenates and revitalises your skin, providing a powerful moisture boost to combat dryness and signs of ageing. This lightweight yet potent formula is enriched with:
- Aloe Vera: Soothes and hydrates stressed areas, enhancing radiance and calming irritation.
- Castor Oil: Promotes healthy cell growth with nutrient-rich properties, supporting skin repair and rejuvenation.
- Natural Vitamin E: Strengthens the skin’s barrier, protecting against environmental aggressors and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Together, these ingredients lock in moisture, improve skin texture, and reveal a smoother, more toned complexion over time. Whether you're addressing ageing concerns or simply seeking a daily boost, this serum provides the essential care your skin deserves.
To use: Prior to moisturising, apply the serum to freshly cleansed, dry skin, avoiding the delicate area directly under the eyes.
Ingredients:
Derby Premium and Gillette Sharpedge Double-Edge Razor Blades RRP £3.90
Crafted in Turkey using premium Swedish steel, Derby Premium blades are designed to deliver a smooth and comfortable shave. These blades feature a specialised range of coatings—chromium, ceramic, platinum, tungsten, and polymer—that enhance glide, reduce irritation, and extend blade life.
Slightly sharper than the original Derby Extras, Derby Premium blades offer improved longevity, making them an excellent choice for wet shavers seeking a precise and efficient shave. Each blade provides 3-6 shaves, depending on hair thickness and shaving technique, ensuring you get consistent performance every time.
Renowned among seasoned wet shavers, the Gillette 7 O’Clock “SharpEdge” blades, often called “Gillette Yellows,” are celebrated as some of the sharpest blades available. Engineered for exceptional precision, these blades effortlessly glide through coarse hair, delivering an ultra-close shave with minimal effort.
Their sharpness requires care—take short, light passes and avoid applying too much pressure for the best results. With a durability of 3-7 shaves per blade (depending on beard thickness), these are ideal for those who demand professional-level sharpness in their grooming routine.
