Nomad Theory Kyoto Shaving Soap

Discover a sense of calm with Nomad Theory Kyoto Shaving Soap — a soap inspired by the quiet beauty of Japan’s old capital. We wanted to bottle the feeling of wandering through Kyoto’s peaceful gardens: the soft scent of Sakura blossoms, the gentle earthiness of Matcha, and that warm, soothing touch of traditional Japanese incense. It’s a fragrance that turns your daily shave into something slower, calmer, and genuinely enjoyable.

Picture yourself in a simple tea hall, soft light coming through shoji screens while a breeze carries the scent of cherry blossoms outside. There’s a little matcha in the air, a hint of incense from a nearby temple, and everything just feels still.That’s the moment this soap is meant to recreate — a small escape that helps you start your day a little more grounded.

Premium Tallow Formula

Kyoto features a meticulously crafted tallow-based formula, designed to deliver a dense, creamy, ultra-protective lather. Tallow is naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K — all essential for maintaining healthy, nourished skin.

To elevate performance and post-shave feel, the base includes:

• Shea Butter & Kokum Butter – deeply moisturising and soothing
• Jojoba & Avocado Oil – rich in vitamins and skin-conditioning nutrients
• Glycerin & Sorbitol – humectants that help skin retain moisture
• Allantoin & Silk Amino Acids – for softness, comfort, and reduced irritation

The result is an exceptionally slick, cushioned shave with a noticeably luxurious post-shave finish.
