First off, lets get one thing clear – if you are looking for a fancy smelling soap, this is not the one you are looking for. This soap has no added scents, colors, or anything else. It’s pine tar shaving soap. Just soap and Pine Tar. It doesn’t smell fancy – after all, it is tar! What does it smell like? You’ve probably encountered pine tar, or something that smells like it at some point.  Have ever done one of the following: Been on a tall wooden sailing vessel on a hot day? Applied some pine tar to the handle of your bat before stepping up to the home plate? Used railroad ties to make a flowerbed? Taken a trip to the La Brea tar pits? Rolled your window down while driving on a freshly paved road? If you have, you know what this smells like (though the last three are asphalt and not pine tar, the smell is similar). It’s not a fresh, clean pine forest scent, but a warm, dirty, grity scent associated with hard work and callused hands. What is pine tar? It’s a natural tar extracted from pine tree roots by heating or burning it in oxygen reduced atmosphere. Today most people only know it as the substance baseball players use to get a tight grip on their bats, but it has a far more colorful history than that. It has been used to waterproof tall sailing ships, and to treat the rigging ropes against rotting while in use. It has been used as an antiseptic, and a treatment for skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea. Does it actually cure skin diseases? We have no idea, and we don’t advertise that it does. However pine tar soap has been made and loved for well over 100 years, and after using it, we are not surprised – it’s really good stuff. If pine tar soap worked for grandpa, it works for me too. Shave with Pine Tar shaving soap!

Named after the Santa Monica Bay, the heart of Los Angeles' idyllic beaches, this fragrance captures the spirit of carefree, sun-soaked days by the sea. At the core of Santa Monica Bay Rum is the essence of Pimenta Racimosa, or West Indies Bay. This key ingredient sets the stage with its rich, spicy, and slightly sweet scent, evoking the iconic aroma of traditional bay rum. The journey continues with a hearty splash of dark rum, lending an air of warmth and complexity to the fragrance. This touch of the Caribbean is then masterfully balanced with a variety of citrus and woody extracts, along with essential oils that bring a light and refreshing twist to the scent profile. Notes of Vanilla and Orange Extracts add a layer of sweet, citrusy depth to the composition, while Balsam Tolu Essential Oil introduces a warm, slightly spicy undertone. The inclusion of Clary Sage Essential Oil brings an herbaceous note, complementing the scent with its clear, calming aroma. The experience is further enhanced with a hint of Opopanax or Sweet Myrrh Essential Oil. This exotic ingredient, with its warm, balsamic scent, adds a soothing richness. This is further augmented by the tangy freshness of Lemon Extract, the sweet-spicy nuance of Anise Extract, and the woody depth of Ho Wood Essential Oil. Santa Monica Bay Rum is more than just a fragrance; it's an olfactory voyage. Ideal for a day by the water, or when you find yourself yearning for the sea breeze and crashing waves, this scent is a radiant reminder of sunny days on deck or along the shoreline.

Introducing our new silk tallow base with our bestselling Ghost Town Barber Fragrance.While we still stand behind our OG base 100% and do not currently have plans to discontinue it, it has been five years since it was released and it was time to create a more modern shaving soap formula.

Some of my testers reported feeling a skin tightening sensation - be aware that this is the film left by the silk hydrolysate.

It’s been two years since we made our last original scent - so this scent is long overdue, and I'm excited to bring it to you!With father’s day coming up, I’ve been thinking about all my dad has done for me, and reflecting on memories I made with my grandparents.

No parent can hope to be perfect - but if you are loyal to your children and have their best interests in your heart - you are nothing short of amazing!This is not a work of fine perfume, but rather a time capsule to the memory of great, hard-working, blue-collar men.

This distinctive fragrance offers a new approach to the classic fougère genre, crafted exclusively with essential oils and extracts for a pure and authentic olfactory experience. Our Topanga Fougère is an homage to the grandeur of Houbigant's Fougère Royale, created by the young genius Paul Parquet back in 1882. Although not a direct interpretation, this scent carries the inspirational spirit of its predecessor, transporting you to the heart of an imaginary forest. "Fougère," meaning fern in French, describes a scent that blends the woody, floral, and herbal notes reminiscent of a forest floor, despite ferns themselves being largely scentless. The fragrance journey of Topanga Fougère begins with a floral accord of Lavender and Geranium, setting the stage with their calming and subtly sweet aroma. This initial bouquet delicately evolves into the heart of the fragrance, where woody elements of Ho Wood and Balsam Tolu take over. Their rich, warm aromas evoke the serenity and solidity of a verdant woodland. The experience concludes with a grounding, herbal base featuring Clary Sage, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Sweet Myrrh. These notes add depth and complexity, their earthy and slightly sweet qualities offering balance and longevity to the scent. While Paul Parquet declared that "If God gave ferns a scent, they would smell like Fougère Royale," we have taken a more humble approach with Topanga Fougère. Rather than making divine claims, we simply offer this exquisite blend as an outstanding choice for your next shaving soap. Let Topanga Fougère whisk you away to a late summer forest with each shave Ingredients: Stearic Acid, Aloe Vera Juice, Potassium Hydroxide, Beef Tallow, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Glycerin, Natural Fragrance (Lavender Essential Oil, Clary Sage Essential Oil, Ho Wood Essential Oil, Geranium Essential Oil, Balsam Tolu Essential Oil, Vanilla Extract, Vetiver Essential Oil, Bergamot Essential Oil, Patchouli Essential Oil, Opopanax (Sweet Myrrh) Essential Oil, Anise Extract), Mango Butter, Avocado Oil, Silk Powder Each jar contains at least 4 oz of shaving soap.

Designed to invigorate your mornings with a refreshing minty essence, this scent strikes a careful balance to offer a less medicinal tone commonly associated with eucalyptus and mint-based soaps. This fragrance begins its aromatic journey with the fresh, invigorating scent of Eucalyptus, known for its revitalizing properties and the ability to kick-start your day. Its bright, crisp character perfectly lays the groundwork for the introduction of the heart of this fragrance. The core of the scent profile is defined by the subtly sweet, cooling aroma of Spearmint. This ingredient's vibrant minty note adds a breath of freshness to the blend, complementing the eucalyptus to create a stimulating duo that refreshes the senses. As the scent story of this soap unfolds, the smooth, comforting undertone of Vanilla comes into play. Its rich, sweet aroma offers a soothing counterpoint to the brisk tones of eucalyptus and spearmint. This harmonious interplay gives the scent a balanced, rounded profile, delivering a morning experience that is both invigorating and soothing. Our Eucalyptus, Spearmint, and Vanilla blend offers a minty morning scent with a softer, less medicinal tone.
