Is there such a thing as a truly FRAGRANCE FREE shaving soap?


I don't particularly care about the ingredients, I just want a good shaving soap that has NO AROMA whatever.

To date I've tried two "unscented" soaps and one "no fragrance" soap... and ALL of them certainly do have a fragrance/aroma. I guess I have a "sensitive" nose. I'm hopeless at describing scents, but probably too darned good at smelling them.

Do such things exist, or am I searching for a unicorn?

Do you mean no added fragrance as in perfume? Or no smell at all? Basic ingredients do have a natural smell of there own, but not very strong.

There was, XPEC unscented though it was a cream. @shavefan said that it had the scent of a black hole, lol.

MdC unscented comes very close.

Yep, my "sensitive" nose is very aware of that.

Not 100% sure

The closest I've sampled is Soap Commander Integrity(?). Very few ingredients, all veggie. It has a little coconut oil and shea butter in it but there's barely any scent. Maybe I'm not as sensitive to scents.

Absolutely. Xpec unscented is the only truly "unscented" shave product I am aware of. Indeed, its jar seems to act like a black hole for scent. None escapes.

IIRC LpL Natural didn't have much scent.

Get some 40 year old Williams Mug Soap.

I've been using a stash of Xpec, it's unscented.

 

[Mr. Shavington]

Don’t know about unscented but I can suggest some with bad scents if it helps.

Mine hasn't arrived yet, so I cannot confirm, but I've seen some reviews that say that Canada Shaving Soap has no scent at all.

Canada Shaving Soap

I get no scent from it. Has only 5 ingredients as well and it's very well regarded on here

I’ve tried 4 “unscented” soaps and 3 of them had no added fragrance but could smell the ingredients or base of the soap. PAA Scentsless (CK-6) is the only one I’ve tried that has no odor. PAA sells a small sample of it if you want to try it to confirm it works for you and won’t break the bank. Plus the performance is top notch.

I have acute dermatitis. I'm always on the lookout for unscented soaps. Soap commander Integrity and Captain's Choice unscented are pretty dang close to truly being unscented.

Many thanks for all the replies guys, appreciated.

BTW, I'm in the UK, so once shipping is added to the (made in USA) suggestions... this experiment gets kinda expensive.

Thanks for that @shavefan. Unfortunately the Italian XPEC Unscented appears to be "out of stock" everywhere I've looked. I've left my email address with Shaving.ie for when it's back in stock (I attempted to do the same with Gifts&Care but they tell me that my email address is invalid ).

PAA Scentsless (CK-6) is the only one I’ve tried that has no odor.

Thanks Brad. I've emailed Doug/Fran to check if that's truly the case (with their experienced noses).

I don't get anything off of Zingari Man Unscented, great soap base on top of things. No wonder considering Heather's background.

I love the smell of the Simpsons' "Unscented" Luxury Shaving Cream they were giving away with each purchase for several years (looks like it's finally gone). Smelled like pansy. Unscented pansy, of course.

Make your own ( or get your wife /gf to do for you )

Research soap ingredients in general and only use ones, that alleviate your skin issues.

Thanks! Good idea.
