Is Irish Luck, or the "Luck o' The Irish" really a thing?
No rainbows, no pots of gold. In fact, it turns out the origins of this phrase is distinctly American in nature. It is thought that the term traces back to the 1800's and the California gold rush where it was rumored that many of the prospectors who made it rich were of Irish origin.
The scent on this set is inspired by the fragrance "Lucky Number 6 for Men" (no affiliation). This particular scent has been a personal favorite since its debut back in 2006.

Using shaving soap instead of shaving cream from an aerosol can offers several environmental benefits:
Reduced Waste: Shaving soap typically comes in minimal or more sustainable packaging, often in paper or a reusable container, reducing plastic waste. In contrast, aerosol cans are more challenging to recycle and contribute to more waste.
Packaged in a reusable container, or delivered unpackaged, this product saves about .04 kg of metal and some plastic entering the waste stream.
Lower Environmental Impact in Production: The production of aerosol cans is energy-intensive and often involves the use of metals and chemicals. Shaving soap usually has a simpler manufacturing process with a lower carbon footprint.
Chemical Concerns: Aerosol cans can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals that contribute to air pollution and are potentially harmful to the environment. Shaving soap is often made with natural ingredients and fewer chemicals.
Longevity and Efficiency: Shaving soaps tend to last longer than aerosol creams, which means less frequent purchasing and lower overall consumption. This efficiency reduces the environmental impact over time.
Biodegradability: Many shaving soaps are made from natural, biodegradable ingredients that are less harmful to the environment when washed down the drain, unlike some of the synthetic chemicals found in aerosol creams.
By choosing shaving soap, individuals can reduce their environmental footprint, contributing to less waste, lower pollution, and more sustainable consumption.
