EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE & USAGE GUIDELINES

OPTIMUS Soap Base is a premium formulation that generates luxurious lather with minimal effort.

Important Note: WE DO NOT RECOMMEND BLOOMING THE SOAP, AS ITS OPTIMIZED TEXTURE ENSURES EFFORTLESS LATHERING WITHOUT THIS STEP.

For Optimal Lather and Maximum Performance:

  1. Load your brush thoroughly by swirling it on the soap's surface for approximately 10-15 seconds to capture the ideal amount of product.
  2. Develop lather in a bowl or directly on your face, gradually incorporating water as needed.

This advanced formula lathers quickly and abundantly. Introducing additional water progressively enhances the lather's structure and amplifies its creamy, cushioning texture, ensuring exceptional protection and slickness for a superior shaving experience that transcends the ordinary.
