Slainte: St. James Shaving Soap

This soap has many of the same properties you are used to with Murphy and McNeil. The special edition base, Slainte, is a premium product that leverages mutton tallow, duck fat, beef tallow, and best of all Irish stout beer to create a remarkably smooth shave we think you’ll love. The fragrance on St. James is a delicious oatmeal stout or a very robust oatmeal cookie.

Product Description
St. James Gate in medieval times was the Western most entrance to the City of Dublin, Ireland, where it stood until 1734. Since that time, the surrounding area has kept the name St. James Gate, despite the actual gate having been gone long ago.

The area surrounding St. James Gate has been home to popular breweries since the 17th century. To this day, the area is home to one of the most famous breweries in the world (look it up!) which is currently held on a 9000 year lease signed in 1759.

This release by Murphy and McNeil is a departure from our normal line of shaving soaps. Released originally for St. Patrick's Day 2019, this base (or similar) may see a recurrence during special times of the year.

Murphy & McNeil

Welcome to Murphy and McNeil, where we believe in the power of little luxuries. Our brand's mission is simple yet profound: to enhance your daily experiences and help you appreciate life's small pleasures. Think about it—there are certain things we do every day that, with a small upgrade, can truly enrich our lives. Whether it's investing in a luxurious pillow, indulging in high thread-count sheets, savoring a remarkable meal, or slipping into a pair of comfortable shoes, these seemingly minor improvements can make a remarkable difference in the quality of our days. At Murphy and McNeil, we firmly believe that shaving and grooming should be included in this list of transformative indulgences. Many people go through their daily shower and shave routines without realizing just how much more enjoyable they can be. We have allowed these essential rituals to become mere commodities, prioritizing convenience and affordability over the overall experience. But we deserve better. Consider this: shaving every day for 40 years adds up to nearly 15,000 shaves. Shouldn't each one of those moments be great, rather than forgettable and mundane? We believe that shaving should be something to look forward to, a pleasurable experience rather than a monotonous task to check off the to-do list. That's where Murphy and McNeil comes in. We exist to cater to fellow shaving enthusiasts, whether they are newcomers or seasoned veterans, and introduce them to the wonders of traditional shaving and premium grooming products. Our goal is to help you discover the incredible benefits and luxuries that can be derived from this age-old craft. We have curated a superb collection of new, used, and unique artisan shaving products, all crafted by passionate artisans and dedicated fans who have kept the traditional shaving community thriving. Our platform not only allows us to showcase our own exceptional creations but also provides a convenient space for other small artisans to share their work and passions. We invite you to slow down and relish in these experiences that are available to all of us. Every person we introduce to the concept of upgrading their daily shave or shower into a moment of indulgence is a victory in itself. It's the driving force behind our existence. Your presence here means the world to us, and we genuinely value your feedback. We are committed to evolving around the needs of our community, and we encourage you to reach out and share your thoughts with us. Thank you for choosing Murphy and McNeil. Together, let's transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, one shave at a time.
