Shaving Soaps

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.Ingredients: Stearic Acid, Aloe Vera Juice, Potassium Hydroxide, Beef Tallow, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Glycerin, Natural Fragrance (Whisky, Labdanum Absolute, Organic Black Spruce Essential Oil, Cedarwood Essential Oil, Vanilla Extract, Rose Absolute Juniper Leaf/Berry Essential Oil), Mango Butter, Avocado Oil, Silk Powder

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. This scent is inspired by them, and the name is the first word I think of when I think of them - loyal. 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. My dad and his dad owned a paving company while I was growing up, and my other grandfather was an apple farmer and did their level best to provide everything they could to make help their families thrive - I owe them so much.Loyal is comprised of the following scent notes: Cedar, Classic Old Spice, Musk, Leather, Coffee, Caramel, Amber, Vanilla, Soil, Petrichor, and the faintest hint of car fumes. _____________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. We tested ingredient after ingredient racking up fifty-six test batches before we settled on this one. The main secret is a massive amount of silk hydrolysate which is a very conditioning, natural, film-forming agent which is used in a lot of anti-aging creams (anti-aging statement not evaluated by the FDA, Yaya, yadda, etc). Some of my testers reported feeling a skin tightening sensation - be aware that this is the film left by the silk hydrolysate. For best results, load soaking wet brush for 40 seconds in the tub, then build lather on wet face for an additional minute - this is a heavy loading soap, depending on your brush you will use 3-10 grams of soap per shave.  This is due to the high of skin care ingredients to soap ratio. ---- INCI Ingredients:  Glycerin, Potassium Stearate, Potassium Castorate, Silk Hydrolysate, Potassium Tallowate, Lanolin, Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice, Water, Fragrance, White Kaolin Clay, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Castorate, Sodium Lactate, Allantoin, Potassium Kokumate, Sodium tallowate, Sucrose, Ulmus Fulva Bark Extract, Sodium kokumate Plain English Ingredients: Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Castor Oil, Beef Tallow, Silk Hydrolysate, Potassium Hydroxide (lye), Lanolin, Aloe Vera Juice, Water, Fragrance, White Kaolin Clay, Sodium Lactate, Kukom Butter, Allantoin, Sodium Hydroxide (lye), Sugar, Slippery Elm Bark Extract (orders in the two ingredients lists are slightly different due to the requirement of INCI ingredients to show whether an oil has been saponified with sodium or potassium hydroxide) ------------------------- 4oz of tallow based soap in a plastic tub (4" diameter and 2" tall).

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.

This age-old ingredient lends a layer of depth and complexity to Vert Noir, echoing the quiet strength and resilience of nature.
