The STROPPi is an innovative solid shaving lubricant that works by applying a layer of protective lubricant to your razor's wet blades, effectively safeguarding your skin from irritation and ensuring a consistently smooth and nick-free shaving experience.

Application of lubricant to your razor is achieved by a simple process of stropping. Simply strop your razor's blades down the surface of the STROPPi several times, making sure to wet both your blade and bar before stropping. Remember to mount the STROPPi before attempting to strop it. Mounting straightens the bar's surface and ensures even lubrication. Attempting to hold the bar in hand or failing to properly mount the bar may lead to injury or inconsistent lubrication.

Traditional shaving lubricants are applied to the skin. This limits their ability to work well with modern, cartridge style razors as the blades are unable to make consistent contact with applied shaving cream due to the design of the razor head.

Rather than the blade making contact with the applied shaving cream as you shave, the edge of the razor head pushes cream away from the blades, leading to a drier and less protective shave. In many instances, this can promote razor burn and skin irritation. The STROPPi avoids this by applying lubricant directly to the blades ensuring consistent lubrication. By lubricating the blades, the STROPPi not only ensures more consistent comfort and protection as you shave but also allows for unique benefits including shaving over the same spot repeatedly, shaving in any wet or humid environment, and shaving with no cream applied to your skin, allowing you to see what you're shaving for added safety.

Unlike traditional shaving creams, the STROPPi is specifically designed for shower shavers who use modern cartridge razors. Traditional shaving creams aren’t ideal in water-rich environments since they rinse away quickly and often fail to reach the blades. Cartridge razor heads also tend to push cream aside, reducing its effectiveness as you shave.

With the STROPPi, you can shave comfortably in the shower thank's to its water friendly formulation. Shower shaving perfectly softens your skin and hair to allow for a closer, smoother, and safer shave. The STROPPi also allows you to lubricate your blades directly by using the razor's head to align your razor's blades with the STROPPi’s surface, ensuring an effortless glide and better blade performance.

The STROPPi is formulated with just a few carefully chosen ingredients, each selected for its specific purpose and its ability to deliver an exceptional shaving experience. Designed to enhance performance while promoting skin health, its minimalist formula is also fully biodegradable, ensuring that once used up, it leaves no harmful chemicals or lasting impact on the environment.

Every ingredient in the STROPPi serves a unique, purpose-driven role. Hydrolyzed collagen helps improve skin elasticity and hydration, while glycerin locks in moisture for a smooth, comfortable shave. Coco glucoside, a plant-derived cleanser, works alongside sodium laureth sulfate to create a rich, effective lather that effortlessly lifts hair for a closer shave. Carrageenan provides natural thickness and stability, while mica gives the formula its subtle, distinctive sheen. Distilled water ensures clarity and balance, and thyme oil offers natural antibacterial protection to help maintain skin health. The women's STROPPi also includes Aloe Vera, which is helpful in maintaining the softness and health of skin. Beyond performance, the STROPPi is designed with sustainability at its core — every ingredient was thoughtfully selected to break down naturally after use, ensuring a shaving solution that’s as gentle on the planet as it is on your skin. Ingredients: Hydrolyzed Collagen, Coco Glucoside, Carrageenan, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerin, Mica, Distilled Water, Thyme Oil, (Aloe Vera in the Women's version).

Yes. The STROPPi is formulated with thyme oil, a naturally derived antibacterial known for its skin-friendly properties.

We intentionally leave out conventional synthetic agents like Triclosan and Triclocarban—chemicals often linked to irritation, hormonal disruption, and environmental harm. Instead, we’ve chosen a safer, more sustainable path that supports both skin health and the planet. The result is an antibacterial shaving lubricant designed to never compromise your body or the environment.

Yes! The STROPPi is genuinely 100% biodegradable and built with sustainability at its core — and when we say genuinely, we mean it. While many brands make claims about being eco-friendly, we spent over a year rigorously testing every ingredient and the final formula to ensure that both the product and its impact on the environment live up to the promise.

From the product itself to the eco-friendly packaging it comes in (...even the shipping label!), every component is designed to naturally break down without leaving behind any harmful residue or lasting waste. Best of all, our commitment to sustainability never comes at the cost of performance. The STROPPi delivers a smooth, irritation-free shave and maintains its full lifespan and effectiveness, proving you don’t have to compromise quality for the planet.

The STROPPi is designed to be used in your shower.

Using the STROPPi in the shower allows you to have easy access to water as you shave, allowing you to wet the bar's surface, the blades of your razor, and the surface of your skin for a smooth glide and softened hair for greater shaving comfort. The steam of your shower also softens the STROPPi's surface, allowing the bar's surface to break up smoothly as you strop it with your razor, ensuring consistent and rich lubrication. In the shower, be sure to select a smooth and non-porous surface such as tile, smooth stone, composite, plastic, or glass to mount the STROPPi.

For best results, we recommend mounting the STROPPi in an easy-to-reach area close to where you shave most often. If you shave facial hair, position the bar at head height to make re-stropping between passes simple and efficient. For shaving legs, underarms, or the bikini area, mount it lower for comfortable access, especially if you shave while seated.

For the most secure mounting and longest bar life, choose a smooth, uninterrupted, and non-porous surface such as large, polished tile, untextured plastic or composite, or smooth, preferably polished stone. Avoid textured, uneven, or porous areas, as they may compromise adhesion. Be sure the bar is completely dry before mounting and only moderately wetted during use; placing it in a spot with minimal direct shower spray helps prevent waterlogging, which can cause the bar to swell, soften, and become unstuck. By mounting the STROPPi close to your shaving area, on the right surface, and out of constant water flow, you’ll ensure a secure hold, extend the bar’s lifespan, and maintain peak stropping performance.

The STROPPi is designed to easily mount to any smooth, non-porous surface in your bathroom. This includes smooth tile, polished stone, plastic or composite, and glass. 

Always be sure both the bar and the mounting surface is clean and dry. Do not mount to surfaces such as wood, textured stone, or concrete as the bar will become easily unmounted from the surface. If your bathroom lacks any smooth surfaces ideal for mounting, we recommend mounting the bar to a handheld tile. This ensures easy stropping while guaranteeing the bar remains flat and safety away from your skin.

Important: Never attempt to use the STROPPi directly in your hand. The bar can become slippery when wet and may lead to slipping or injury when stropped.

If you are having difficulty getting the STROPPi to adhere well to any surface in your shower, we recommend mounting the STROPPi to a small, handheld tile. If instead, the bar attempts to fall off the wall, we recommend washing the bar, drying it, and allowing it full air dry before remounting it. Be sure to wash and dry the mounting surface as well before remounting the bar. If the bar appears warped and won't mount flush to your chosen surface, flip the bar and mount it on the opposite side. If the bar is still unable to be mounted successfully, please visit our blog here which focuses on troubleshooting mounting the bar in your shower.

For additional questions or concerns while mounting, please reach out to us directly with the contact form at the bottom of this page.

While most razors can technically be used with it, the STROPPi is specifically designed for cartridge-style razors with three or more blades.

We do not recommend using single-blade or double-blade safety razors. Multi-blade cartridges not only offer better safety during shaving but also apply more even pressure to both the bar and your blades as you strop, ensuring a smoother strop and a more consistent lubrication.

Yes, the STROPPi is ideal for shaving in the bath or while seated.

Simply mount it lower in your shower for easy access and minimal effort between passes. Because it lubricates your razor—rather than your skin—you can comfortably make multiple passes without reapplying cream. Simply strop the bar, reshave any missed area, and use your hand to feel for any missed hairs.

In addition to easy restrokes, the STROPPi's clear lubricant allows you to see exactly where you're shaving—no more guessing what's beneath a layer of foam. And unlike traditional creams that rinse away on contact with water, the STROPPi’s water-loving formula stays effective even when fully submerged, allowing for a smooth, consistent shave in the most comfortable shower conditions.

Yes! The STROPPi is crafted specifically for sensitive skin. It uses gentle, skin-safe ingredients free from any harsh chemicals or fragrances, allowing for a softer alternative to traditional shaving. By lubricating the blades, the STROPPi also reduces the felt sharpness of the blade's edge on your skin while not reducing the razor's shaving effectiveness, protecting your skin's epidermic layer and reducing post-shave irritation significantly.

Water is the key to a smooth shave. One of the main advantages of the STROPPi is the fact it can act as a protective shaving lubricant that will not wash away in water rich environments. This unlocks a shave in which you can enjoy softer skin and hair together with a smoother, safer glide. All the benefits of a dry shave in the more ideal environment of a wet shave.

That said, you can overdo it. Excessive soaking or prolonged direct spray can water-log the bar, causing it to delaminate from its mounting surface. Over time, water-logging can also soften the surface too much, leading to increased wear during stropping. You can not have too much water on your skin, but you can have too much on the STROPPi. As with all things—balance is key.

Begin by removing the bar from its mounted surface. Next, rinse the bar thoroughly and then pat it dry before allowing it air dry completely. Once fully dry, clean the mounting surface before reapplying the bar. Do not attempt to re-stick the bar while it’s still wet—this will lead to improper mounting.

The STROPPi is built for durability and designed to stay with you through weeks of smooth, consistent shaves.

On average, it lasts for at least 30 shaves, though its lifespan may vary depending on several factors including water type, shaving frequency, stropping pressure, and how often the bar has been moved or remounted. In most cases, it should last even longer. In most cases, you can expect it to last even longer. If you notice rapid wear or unexpected signs of aging, reach out—we’re here to help.

You’ll know it’s time to replace your STROPPi when the stropping surface starts showing clear signs of wear or changes in texture. Common indicators include thinning in the middle of the bar, a loss of its soft, pliable feel, the surface becoming firmer or warped, decreased mounting strength, or simply reaching more than 12 weeks of use.

The STROPPi’s lifespan can vary depending on factors like water quality, shaving frequency, and where and how it’s mounted. High-mineral water, heavy daily use, or exposure to constant spray may cause the bar to wear more quickly, while lighter use in optimal conditions can extend its life. Keep an eye on the bar’s texture and performance: if it begins to feel harder, loses effectiveness, or no longer stays securely mounted, it’s likely time for a replacement — even if it hasn’t reached the 12-week mark. If you notice any unusual wear or have concerns about performance, don’t hesitate to reach out to us here.

The SOOTHi is a two part, moisturizing product designed to easily cool and refresh your skin after any shave or when struggling with dry skin. Applied by hand once wetted, the SOOTHi features a dual layer structure composed of gripping layer, for added grip once wet, and a moisturizing layer, for easy and simple skin hydration.

When not in use, the SOOTHi is stored horizontally on any surface in your bathroom. We recommend keeping the product dry and isolated for guaranteed longterm use. Simple and easy to use, the SOOTHi guarantees a comfortable shave and happy, healthy skin every time. For more information, check it out here.

The SOOTHi is crafted with a few simple, naturally restorative ingredients designed to deliver a superior aftershave experience. Its formula focuses on improving skin health, supporting long-term use, and ensuring that once it’s used up, it’s safe for the environment thanks to its biodegradable composition.

Every ingredient in the SOOTHi is carefully selected for its unique benefits. Glycerin and hydrolyzed collagen work together to enhance hydration and improve skin elasticity, while the aloe vera in the women's version helps calm irritation and replenish moisture. Carrageenan adds firmness to the formula, mica provides its subtle, natural color, and thyme oil offers antibacterial protection. Distilled water ensures purity and balance, and finely granulated pumice makes it easier to hold on to. Whether applied immediately after shaving or integrated into your daily skincare routine, the SOOTHi soothes, restores, and promotes a healthier, more resilient complexion. Ingredients: Granulated Pumice, Aloe Vera (in the women's version), Carrageenan, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Glycerin, Mica, Distilled Water, Thyme Oil.

Yes! The SOOTHi is genuinely 100% biodegradable and built with sustainability at its core — and when we say genuinely, we mean it. While many brands make claims about being eco-friendly, we spent over a year rigorously testing every ingredient and the final formula to ensure that both the product and its impact on the environment live up to the promise.

From the product itself to the eco-friendly packaging it comes in (...even the shipping label!), every component is designed to naturally break down without leaving behind any harmful residue or lasting waste. Best of all, our commitment to sustainability never comes at the cost of performance. The SOOTHi provides lasting hydration and comfort, proving you don’t have to compromise quality for the planet.

Instead, we’ve chosen a safer, more sustainable path that supports both skin health and the planet. The result is an antibacterial shaving lubricant designed to never compromise your body or the environment.

The SOOTHi features a dual-layer design for both performance and practicality.

The top layer is a nourishing, glycerin-based balm that moisturizes and soothes the skin after shaving—no greasy residue, just smooth hydration. Beneath that is our innovative textured grip layer, specifically engineered to stay secure in your hand even when wet. This textured base ensures the bar won’t slide around in your palm, making it easy and comfortable to use during your post-shave routine. Together, these two layers deliver a cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable experience every time you reach for the bar.

No, the SOOTHi is not designed to adhere vertically like the STROPPi. Instead, it should be stored flat on a clean surface —either in your shower or next to the sink.

Always rest it with the grip layer on the shelf. The top moisturizing layer is specifically formulated to be absorbent and softens easily when wet, so placing it face down can lead to unnecessary wear, contamination, or residue buildup. Proper storage helps preserve the bar’s performance and extends its usable life.

Yes. While the SOOTHi is designed primarily as an aftershave to complement the Blade Bar’s smooth finish, its moisturizing formula also makes it an excellent daily skin conditioner.

To use it as a daily moisturizer, simply follow the same steps as you would after shaving: wet both the bar and your skin before application to activate the moisturizing layer and ensure smooth glide. As always, be mindful of storage—allow the bar to dry between uses to prolong its life and maintain performance.

Yes—every product we make, including the SOOTHi, is formulated with sensitive skin in mind. The SOOTHi delivers a cooling, hydrating finish that soothes post-shave irritation and promotes a smoother, healthier complexion over time.

If you have acne-prone or reactive skin, the SOOTHi can still be a great fit. However, we strongly recommend washing your face beforehand to remove excess oil, dirt, or residue. Like many moisturizing products, the SOOTHi creates a protective layer on your skin—so for best results, start with a clean surface to avoid sealing in unwanted impurities.

The SOOTHi is designed for clean-shaven or closely trimmed skin. While it can still benefit areas with facial hair by promoting healthier, smoother skin, it’s not recommended for use over dense or untrimmed hair.

If you do choose to use it on areas with facial hair, expect slightly faster wear over time due to increased friction. We also recommend rinsing the bar thoroughly after each use to keep the moisturizing layer clean and effective.

Yes. The SOOTHi is safe to use on any freshly shaved or dry area of skin, including sensitive spots.

If you're applying it to a delicate area—such as the underarms or bikini line—be sure to rinse the bar thoroughly with warm water before using it elsewhere. This helps maintain hygiene and prevents transferring any residue or bacteria between different parts of the body.

The SOOTHi can be stored in your shower—on a ledge, shelf, or soap dish—or by your sink, depending on your routine.

No matter where you store it, always place the bar with the textured grip side facing down. This keeps the moisturizing layer elevated, allowing it to air dry fully between uses and preventing it from sitting in moisture, which can cause softening it or lead to premature wear.

Before storing, make sure the surface is clean and free of residue. The moisturizing layer is highly absorbent and may easily soak up leftover soap scum, oils, or debris—potentially contaminating the bar. A quick wipe of your storage spot helps keep the bar clean, effective, and lasting longer.

With regular use, the SOOTHi is built to last up to 12 weeks.

You’ll know it’s time for a replacement when the moisturizing surface starts to lose its shape or feel less smooth to the touch. Of course, your experience may vary based on things like your water quality, shaving habits, or how you store the bar. If you notice unusual wear or have any concerns before the 12-week mark, please reach out to us here.

The Sansnik Shaving Kit includes two core products designed to work together for a complete shaving experience: the STROPPi, a solid shaving lubricant bar, and the SOOTHi, an aftershave moisturizer bar.

The STROPPi is an innovative solid shaving lubricant designed to coat your razor’s wet blades with a protective layer of lubricant before each pass. By simply stropping your razor — sliding the blades several times down the mounted, wetted surface of the bar — the STROPPi ensures smoother glide, reduced irritation, and a consistently close, nick-free shave. Proper mounting is essential, as it straightens the bar’s surface for even lubrication and safer stropping; attempting to hold the bar in your hand can lead to injury or uneven application. The SOOTHi complements this process by calming irritation, replenishing moisture, and supporting long-term skin health. Together, they replace outdated shaving routines with a simplified, effective system.

This will depend greatly on your frequency of shaving. The Sansnik Shaving Kit for both men and women is designed to last for a minimum of 30 shaves. While most users find a typical replacement rate of around two months works best, we recommend replacing the kit at the three-month mark regardless of visible wear or shaving frequency, as the product naturally begins to lose effectiveness over time.

Even if the kit still appears functional after three months, its materials will start to age in ways that can affect performance. You may notice changes in texture, especially with the STROPPi. By three months, the bar can begin to change texture or warp or peel away from its mounting position. These issue will reduce effectiveness and undermine mounting strength significantly. Your personal replacement cycle may vary depending on shaving habits and coverage areas, but to ensure optimal results, we suggest planning for a maximum lifespan of three months. If you find you’re replacing the kit sooner due to an increased shaving schedule, selecting a more frequent subscription can help ensure you always have a fresh kit ready for the best possible shave.

The Sansnik Shaving Kit does not include a razor. However, we’ve made selecting the right one simple by providing a curated list of recommended razors that pair perfectly with our kit.

Choosing the right razor can make a huge difference in your shaving experience, which is why we’ve tested and approved a selection of options to suit a variety of preferences. On the Shaving Kit product page, you’ll find our dedicated razor recommendation section, where we share razors chosen based on our own extensive testing as well as feedback from our trusted community of users. These recommendations take the guesswork out of finding a high-performing razor that delivers the smoothest, most comfortable shave when used with the Sansnik Shaving Kit.

The STROPPi and SOOTHi included in the Sansnik Shaving Kit are designed to work together and last for more than 30 shaves.

Both products are formulated and tested to deliver balanced longevity, ensuring you won’t run out of one before the other under typical shaving routines. However, factors like shaving frequency, water quality, and storage conditions can affect wear over time. If you notice premature wear on either bar or experience any issues before the 30 shave mark, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at the bottom of this page. We’re here to help and ensure you always get the best possible shaving experience.

Yes, the Sansnik Shaving Kit is travel-friendly and can easily be packed and remounted wherever you go.

Both the STROPPi and SOOTHi can be removed from their mounted positions and reattached when you arrive at your destination. For best results, allow the bars to fully dry before packing and store them in a protective case or wrap to avoid damage in transit. When traveling, we store the bars between small cards (such a credit cards or hotel key cards) wrapped with a rubber band to prevent surface damage or contamination. Once at your destination, mount STROPPi onto a smooth, non-porous surface such as polished tile, glass, or composite for the same secure hold and performance. Frequent repositioning won’t harm the bars, but if you travel often, using a small portable mounting card can make setup quicker and more reliable.
