Before getting started, let’s take a look at the SOOTHi’s dual-layer design. On the top of the bar is the SOOTHi's glistening, moisturizing layer which features a combination of natural ingredients designed to nurture and soothe your skin. Beneath it lies a white, textured layer infused with fine grit and pumice. This layer is finely textured, allowing you to maintain control of the bar in your hand once wet. With that in mind, let's get started.
The SOOTHi was designed for use with water, but water can make its moisturizing layer alone very slippery. That’s why we built in a textured grip layer. The pumice and grit create micro-friction points that stay tacky when wet, so you can confidently handle the bar without dropping it.
Begin by rinsing the SOOTHi under warm water for a few seconds. This wetting activates the bar's moisturizing layer and softens it for a smoother application. While wetting the bar, we recommend also wetting your skin. This opens up your skin for rehydration and improves the SOOTHi's smooth application. Note that after wetting the bar, it will become slippery. To maintain a firm hold, grip the bar using its textured layer.
Wetting the bar does more than just clean it. Glycerin—our core moisturizing ingredient—activates with water, helping it soften and spread evenly across your skin.
Holding the bar firmly in hand, gently glide the SOOTHi across freshly shaved areas such as your legs, underarms, or bikini line, using smooth, even strokes. As you glide, the SOOTHi helps to rehydrate the skin, reduce redness, soothe shaving irritation, and support the skin’s natural barrier. If you're using the SOOTHi as a daily moisturizer, lightly wet any dry areas of skin before application. Be sure to rewet the bar and your skin between glides.
The SOOTHi is simple to use but surprisingly versatile. After shaving, apply it directly to damp skin using smooth, even passes. The bar easily contours to any patch of skin. It’s not just for your face—use it on your neck, chest, or any other area you've shaved.
Once finished, rinse and dry the SOOTHi to clean it for storage. When storing the bar, always place it flat on a clean surface. Always place the bar with the moisturizing layer facing up as its soft, absorbent texture can cause it to absorb surface residue over time. Also make sure the bar remains as dry as possible while stored for better wear and longterm product health. With proper storage, the SOOTHi will last for many weeks.
To extend the bar’s life, avoid leaving it submerged or sitting in pooled water. Excessive water exposure can swell and soften the bar over time, leading to premature wear. As a result, after each use, gently pat the bar dry and place it on a dry shelf, ledge, or soap dish with the grip layer facing down. The moisturizing layer is highly absorbent—so if it sits against a dirty shelf, washcloth, or anything wet, it might absorb it.
From getting your SOOTHi gliding smoothly to troubleshooting your post-shave experience, we're here to help. We've collected some of the most frequently asked questions below to get you moisturizing the right way in no time.
Does the SOOTHi stick like the Blade 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 facing downward. The top moisturizing layer is specifically formulated to be absorbent and softens easily when wet, so placing it face-up can lead to unnecessary wear, contamination, or residue buildup. Proper storage helps preserve the bar’s performance and extends its usable life.
Where should I store the SOOTHi?
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 or 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.
Can I use it instead of a daily moisturizer?
Yes. While the SOOTHi is designed primarily as an aftershave to complement the STROPPi'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.
How do I know when it’s time to replace it?
With regular use, the SOOTHi is built to last for many 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 might vary a little 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.
Can I use it after shaving delicate areas like underarms or bikini line?
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.
Is it safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
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.
