PAIR With Our Long Lasting The BEACH Aftershave/Cologne HERE or The BEACH Natural Deodorant HERE! Take your daily shave...on The Beach!

When I first mentioned The Beach scent I had been working on to Joe it had been purely a joke. I'm not sure how many of you know this, but the guy's a real beach bum w/ a serious proclivity for all things scented coconut!

I expected to get a laugh out of him upon mentioning this but instead there was a long, dramatic pause, I even pulled the phone away from my ear to see if we had lost connection. Sometimes silence is the sound of the wheels turning, and turn they did...for about 20 seconds. Just when I was about to ask if he was breathing Joe joyously blurted out:

"The Beach! Yes we have to...for Kramer!"

I thought he was joking, he was not. I had no idea what Joe was going on about not being a huge Seinfeld nut like he is. So before I knew it we were collaborating on a new soap based on a fictional cologne...righteous!

How does one recreate the scent of the beach? There is no real way to formulate this out on paper but only through lot's of trial an error. Many batches of The Beach were made and "thrown back" before we settled on what final became the soap we just released. The scent profile of the beach is massive! It's not just one thing like salt or tanning lotion but a blend of ozone, sand, organic matter, an ice cream truck, Bo Derek, a cocktail, even the sounds of Sade's "Smooth Operator" blasting out of the stereo system of the cabana. This was much more than Synergy, this was Synesthesia...and it's all in there!

Luckily for me I too am a "would be" beach bum, I have spent the last 15 years surfing many beaches in the USA, South & Central America...so I am no stranger to this special effluvium that all beaches emit.

After one hellish winter in Massachusetts I didn't need much convincing, and so was born "The Beach"! Enjoy the latest RazoRock/PAA collaboration....Surf's Up!

Why not have a Mint Mojito while you're catching some fun in the sun?

My absolute favorite scent. All of the 3.0 soaps have great lathering and give a great shave. I give them all five stars. However the beach scent is my absolute favorite. It's great for the summer but I use it all year round. I hope they make more products using this scent!!! Keep up the good work!!

FANTASTIC soap. Lathers easy, great cushion. If you're looking for a "seasonal" soap for the summertime this is it. I'm a Florida native, and I can tell you that this scent is Gulf Coast summer all the way. Thanks for this product, Phoenix. I'm sure to order another soon.

I was a little skeptical about this scent, but it's a great performing soap, great scent! Glad I took the chance. You gotta get the a/s too.

My new alternating rotation is The Gondolier and The Beach, until I pick up another PAA soap for a 3rd scent in the rotation.

Great shaving soap! The scent is addictive! Living in south florida my entire life, I've spent numerous days at the beach. This scent is as close as it gets! The scent is mild and the soap lathers nicely for a comfortable shave. For sure, I'll be purchasing this one again! I would love a tonic in this scent!

Just got my order in yesterday. Bought this soap and the matching aftershave/cologne. Let me just tell you that, "THIS SOAP IS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR IN EVERY ASPECT"! Perfect, thick, slick, cushion. Almost an effortless shave. Glides perfectly with no irritation. As for the scent... Get ready to be taken back to your childhood, sitting in the sand under an over-sized umbrella with the nice breeze wafting the smell of the salty ocean,various sunscreens, seaweed, the ice-cream cart, funnel cakes, and the woody smell of the board walk into your nose, filling your "senses" with relaxation and happiness. Paired with the aftershave, its a truly enjoyable and nostalgic shaving experience. Puts you in a good mood from the first time you open the container, and cant be described any better than true bliss when you experience shaving with it. Makes for the best start to your day, and it pays you back in constant compliments from the people around you wondering "what are you wearing, you smell amazing". I hope that you folks at Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements continue to make this wonderful intoxicating scent forever and ever Amen. Maybe add some bath bars and Shampoo/Conditioner to the line-up "just a suggestion". This is now my #1 go-to shaving soap!! Thank you and Italian Barber "Razorock" for creating this absolutely wonderful product, and bringing back the memories of good times past. Kudos to you, and I will strongly recommend your products to everyone I know in the wet-shaving community! hope to try some more of your products soon. Thank you!

Love the Beach, in fact I enjoy all of PAA shave soaps and after shaves. The Beach has become my weekend shave soap. It has a great scent and lather and slickness, an all around great performance. Reminds me of Kramer, Seinfeld, and being at the Beach.

Joseph from North Carolina on May 30, 2015

I love this scent. It's awesome. I enjoyed it so much I got the matching aftershave. I live farily close to the beach and IMO, it's spot on. As much as I love the scent, I can't use this soap too often. It causes irritation to my sensitive skin. However, it does lather well. I would recommend this soap to anyone who loves the beach, and looking for a soap that is high quality. Cheers.

Besides the scent being great. The soap itself is great. I usually have to use a pre shave oil with TOBS. Pre de provence.. proraso pretty much all the usual soaps we all have.. This soap was the first one that I can use without the pre shave oil. Great thick lather and great protection. So good I just ordered the CAD and Cavendish.

The best shaving soap I have ever used. Not only does the soap lather really well, the scent is incredible and really reminds me of Italian beaches. Nothing but praise for it.

Kirk from Longwood, FL on Mar 15, 2015

I shaved with this soap yesterday. It was an excellent experience, and the scent is wonderful. I'm new to wet shaving (just under two weeks), but this soap appears to have better characteristics than the TOBS cream I have been using. I held up well as I took my time shaving with my Merkur 37c slant-bar razor (with Personna Medical blade). I can't wait to try the The Beach soap with the new PAA Symmetry open-comb razor I purchased recently.

Yon from Sydney, Australia on Oct 30, 2014

I was really curious about the scent of "The Beach", so figured I'd buy the soap. I liked this soap so much that I ditched the shaving oil I'd been using for the past 7 years for this. My wife liked it so much that I've gone ahead and bought the cologne too. I don't really know how to describe it, kinda vanilla, kinda sunscreen, with a bit of the smell of a beach full of sunscreened people.
It's good - get it.

Originally purchased on 8/27, this soap rose ot the top of my budding soap collection. I'm often asked, 'So, what's it smell like?' and I think this is the closest I can get: You know that 8AM visit to the walgreen's on the corner that you HAVE to stop in for last minute beach needs en route to the beach? The kids are over excited, the lady wife anxious to tear into vodka tonic with lime. But somehow you cannot believe you forgot the puff cheetos and absolutley need more craft canned beer and ice so you stop in to grab the goods. That smell that hits you when the door slides open, durign season. Lotions and tonics and sweet snacks in the air. You knwo it's going ot be a good day in the sun. Grab those goos and hit th sand. Spray or squirt on lotions and creams. Overload the kids with their zinc like ghost paints. Time for a malibu rum and coke form the plastic flask (glass is a no-go!) and just sit back and lose all them cares. Sand. Sun. Salt. Sweet. The Beach! Yeah...there you go...it's like that. I have two of these big 'ol pucks now and covet them. Paired with the aftershave (I'll review that as well) and you can relive that beach experience every day. I promise. No more fence sitting. If you want that feeling, whenever you like...do it. If I'm wrong, let me know on the FB boards cuz I'll maybe talk you into a trade because I'll be miffed if this soap ever goes away so I'm already hoarding it.

Ive had this soap for a couple months and it smells amazing. Musky, sweet, natural, suntan lotion. I cant wait to use this combined with the aftershave when temps get down to -6 in Michigan again....maybe ill play some bob marley too. That's sure to lift the spirits!

Excellent scent!!! Kramer would either be proud or ticked off that someone else stole his idea!!! Calling the law office Jackie Childs!! Just as easy to scent-bloom and lather as all of the other Synergy 8 oz soaps. The scent is very unique compared to other summer-themed scented soaps. Sometime I get a distinct sun lotion scent and other times it more of a salty beach air scent. It's so different compared to other soaps that it's addicting. It pairs perfectly with The Beach aftershave.

The Beach! collaboration by RazoRock and HTGAM is nothing short of spectacular. When I first received my order from HTGAM, I immediately opened the tin to smell it. I was amazed at how they have been able to capture the scent of the beach and put it into a shave soap. I decided to order it because #1, I live so far from a beach it's ridiculous, and #2 Nick Shaves' review on it had me wondering how a soap could smell like a beach. However, like all of the Synergy soaps, this one really came to life when I bloomed it before using it for the first time. I highly recommend this shave soap, and it is definitely one of my favorites so far. Thank you HTGAM and RazoRock for bringing The Beach! to South Dakota!

Amy from Columbia, MS on Sep 15, 2014

This soap is AMAZING! My husband and I love the beach, so when we'd run out of our Coconut Bay Rum we decided to try this new scent. I can't say enough about it. I will be ordering my husband the Beach After Shave so that I can smell this scent all day! This is the absolute BEST SHAVING SOAP! While waiting on our order, we had to buy some shaving cream from Walmart and within two days we both had razor burn. This soap keeps you from having razor burn, and lasts a long time (4 months for 2 people using almost every day). Order this product in any of the scents and you'll not be disappointed!

Bryan from Canada on Sep 14, 2014

Wow! What can I say? The lather had great cushion, glide, very easy to load & lather. Don't get my started on the scent... It's probably one of the best smelling soaps I've tried & I own a large variety of soaps gents. Highly recommended! Easy on the face for guy's with sensitive skin too! love the fact that it's vegan made... The Ingredients list is fantastic!!! It's a very clean list with no alcohol or other harsh chemicals! A little pricey with shipping costs! but over all very much worth it in my opinion!

Over all If you haven't tried a synergy soap yet get this one folks!

Jack from Salem MA on Sep 03, 2014

I grew up on the ocean, have never lived away from it. This soap catches that beach aroma perfectly. I can't even begin to explain it to people. I've actually just brought my soap into work a few times to have people experience the scent for themselves. The soap itself will last you a little while on the skin, you'll keep getting hints of it through the day. I'm absolutely picking up a bottle of the aftershave to go with this. I frequently will throw some bay rum on after this soap right now and the combo is wonderful. Its everything you expect from a HTGAM soap as far as performance. Way more than you could ever expect in the scent department. Bravo.

I'm a native Californian that moved to Texas about 8 months ago. I thought I should give this one a try to make me feel a bit at home. I absolutely love the scent. I highly recommend pairing this with the Beach aftershave. Both together the scent lasts quite a bit and smells great.

Stephen A. Davidson from Virginia on Aug 30, 2014

This has got to be one of the best "beach scented" shaving soaps of all time. Usually when something has a scent called "the beach" you only get one element of that scent and it's usually just the suntan lotion, that it NOT the case here at all. It's like a soap maker literally went to the beach and "canned the air". With this scent you get the salt spray from the ocean, the suntan lotion that alot of visitors wear, along with the sand and a little hint of coconut. This soap's cushioning ability is beyond belief and the slickness is epic. I highly recomend trying this soap. It's also very relaxing as well.

The Beach has jumped to the top of my list. I have used it twice now while I have been stressed. After each time I end up very relaxed. Yes shaving does that, but the scent of this soap has some sort of extra powers ;) I've loaned it out to my pastor and his wife. They are in Love with it too.

I've been shaving for about 15 years now, but just started de razors! The cost of the cartridges were getting ridiculous. Anyhow I was reading a lot if articles about shave soaps and was really impressed how many great things people had to say about synergy soaps! I decided to give the beach a try and wow! The scent is amazing! The lather is amazing! I just love this soap! Definitely would recommend! Every time I use it I'm reminded of the days I lived near the Jersey Shore! Love it!

I love the scent and my wife does as well. The soap loads and lathers very easily. I love the smell. It really does make me feel like I've been sitting around on the beach all day. You get the hints of sun tan lotion, sand, and ocean breeze. I used to dread shaving, and now I can't wait to shave. You can't go wrong with any of the soaps. Thanks HTGAM!

Synergy shaving soaps are all 5 stars. They lather easily, smell great, hold up through the shave, and are made with ingredients that aren't going to give us diseases they haven't made up names for yet.

The Beach is a great scent. It is a full day at the beach scent without sand in your toenails. Love it.

The Beach is truly a fun and refreshing scent! I was born and raised in the Caribbean and these HTGAM beach inspired scents transport me there. The scent of the ocean, sun, lotion, palm trees, and citrus are all mixed there in the Beach. It's baffling how HTGAM came up with this one and so accurate. I also have to say that the Coconut Bay and Bay Rum are awesome as well and are reminiscent of the natural fragrances of the islands of St. Thomas and St. John. Back to the Beach, an added benefit is that the soap performs as great as the other HTGAM soaps. Pairing this soap with its aftershave and deodorant companions definitely enhances the whole experience. I honestly recommend the Beach scent. Have fun with it!
