Looking for vegan shaving soaps

Nah, it is okay, some of the others seem to be vegan. I even got a mail from them, saying that all of their products should be vegan friendly.
Maybe there was a mistake on the website listing their ingedrients. I guess, I'll have to dig some more for crosschecking.

As I said, I have one TooBS pot, two Wickham soaps, some more of their samples at home, one Soap Commander incomming. No need to rush things. It is just the itch of buying frenzy that comes with a new hobby :)

No, I think you are correct... Being a fool, I was looking for "beeswax" when it is actually referred to as "Cera Alba" on ingredient lists.

Stella Alpina:

Ingredients: Sodium Cocoate, Potassium Stearate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Rapeseedate, Sodium Sunflower Seedate, Aqua/Water/Eau, Leontopodium Alpinum Extract, Corylus Avellana (Hazel) Seed Oil, Fraxinus Ornus (Manna Ash) Sap Extract, Shorea Stenoptera Seed Butter, Galactoarabinan, Parfum/Fragrance, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Sucrose Cocoate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Ricinus Communis Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Copernica Cerifera Cera, Cera Alba, Xanthan Gum, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Sodium Chloride, Tocopheryl Acetate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Citral, Citronellol, Coumarin, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool.

So their website is incorrect, will you email them about it or shall I? :D
 
Well, I got an email from them, stating that their products are vegan friendly. I just replied to that email with the question about Cera Alba.
Let's see if I will get an answer.

I also got a reply from the Captain's Choice munufacturer, and they also describe their products as vegan. They even write on their website. that the not so obvious ingredients, like glycerin, are plant based.
 
I got another mail from Captain's Choice. They double checked with the company that delivers the ingredients and they are not longer 100% sure if everything is vegan friendly.
This is great customer service, they really took their time to be thorough.
Well, that takes me back to square one with this company but you really have to like their great service.

Does anyone have experience with their soaps?

I have just finished his 'North' soap. One of the best soaps I've ever used, including tallow. I never re order the same shaving product but I would re order a Captains Choice soap in a heartbeat.
I tell a lie...I would re order Myrsol's agua balsamica aftershave...:D

Yes, they do, but Weleda shaving cream contains goat milk, Lavera and Logona shaving cream contain lanolin - woolfat. So all three of them are not vegan, sadly.

I've discovered Nanny's Silly Soap though, the original and signature soaps are vegan. I am just waiting for them to arrive.

Do you wear animal fibres? Wool? Leather
 
I don't buy clothes with animal products anymore, no. At least I try very hard not to. It is tricky to find jeans without that little leather patch at the back, though.

I am not perfect and I don't know any ingredient of any product, but I try to educate myself and learn.
I think it is unnescessary to hurt animals for something trivial as "beauty products", so I am trying to avoid it.

Uh, you know that they don't kill mammals to obtain their milk or lanolin. ;)
I agree with lanolin, but being a dairy cow isn't really a pleasant experience unless non intensive.

I think sheep benefit from the occasional hair cut.

Sadly, we don't live in that romantic world, where happy cows frolic around on green pastures or where a sheppards quard over his herd of sheep in wind and rain, taking care of them.
Wool and Milk are highly industrialized and for profit optimized products and the animals suffer indeed.

We are digressing though. I am not on a vegan crusade and I don't want to convert anyone to anything.

Back to the soaps and creams :)
I am still waiting on four orders of soaps, international shipping, especially from the US sometimes takes ages.
