Járnviðr - Shaving Soap

  • Sale
  • Regular price $21.99


inspired by the mystical Nordic forests of yore. Járnviðr – meaning ironwood in Old Norse – aims to encapsulate the spirit of these ancient woods and the legends they've inspired.

Járnviðr opens with the warm, resinous scent of Labdanum, a touch of wild simplicity that recalls the heart of the untamed forest. This is followed by the rich, smoky notes of Whisky hinting at nights spent under the starlit Nordic sky. Subtle undercurrents of smooth Vanilla add a gentle sweetness, intertwining seamlessly with the sensual aroma of Rose, creating an elegant complexity that is both alluring and comforting.

The heart of Járnviðr holds the aromatic duo of Cedar and Geranium, which brings a touch of green freshness, invigorating the senses much like a walk through a verdant forest after a soft rain. Light, refreshing notes of Orange cut through, lending a crisp citrus twist that lifts the entire composition.

As Járnviðr matures, it reveals the deeper notes of Black Spruce and Juniper. Their raw, woody essence, rich and commanding, anchors the fragrance, reminding one of the strength and endurance of the ironwoods themselves.

Járnviðr is more than a scent; it's a sensory journey through time and myth. Each note has been carefully selected and balanced to create a fragrance as layered and compelling as the forests it pays homage to. Immerse yourself in the narrative woven by this rich, deep scent, and let it transport you to another realm, another era.  Experience the magic of the Nordic forests with every shave.

Excellent quality, scent missed the mark

Chiseled Face shave soap is the best shave experience I've ever had. Good lather, slick, and feels like a million bucks on your face. They have some excellent scents as well, but this one missed for me. It (at least to my nose) smells like salty flowers. I don't like smelling floral, and hoped for a more woodsy, musky odor. I'll order something else from Chiseled Face next time.

A Cold Mossy Oldgrowth Forest

I'll admit it, on first lather I found it rather disappointing. The smell in the pot is very bright and fresh, the geranium and citrus really coming to the fore. Once it lathered up, the difference from that initial impression caught me off guard and colored my opinion. However, after sitting on it and going back in with an open mind, I found my second go to be much, much more pleasant. It's not a traditional coniferous woodsy scent, its much more... damp, but not in a rank musty way, or like crisp petrichor either, but like cool wet moss and dark forest floor. The description is not wrong when it says its more a journey than a scent- highly, highly recommend at least trying the sample. Personally, I think I'll be upgrading to full size here very soon.

New favorite shaving soap

Close your eyes and picture you are walking through a forest with a small creek at your feet. The sun has set and the wind is wafting through the trees as the freshly melted snow gently trickles into a creek. When you inhale, there is a subtle scent of juniper and spruce. That is exactly how this shaving soap smells. Like with all Chiseled Face shaving soaps, it makes a nice smooth lather. Easy to use. I would highly recommend.
