A soap base in a shaving soap is the very foundation of a shaving soap. Different scents are usually added to it to make the soap smell in a certain way. Most manufacturers of what is known as artisan soap, or artisanal soap, use their own soap base to make their soaps. The content differs slightly between the different soap bases from the different manufacturers and the idea is to go through a number of them.
Some soap bases contain animal products such as tallow or lanolin oil extracted from sheep’s wool. Others contain completely vegetable and vegan ingredients.
