==============================

For the kind of shave that makes you wonder why you ever tolerated anything less.

Shaving doesn't have to be a battle against your own skin. We made this bar for everyone who's tired of the razor burn, the bumps, the dryness that shows up like an uninvited guest every time you pick up a blade. It's superfatted, which means we leave extra nourishing oils in the formula on purpose. Your skin notices.

The glacial clay is the secret weapon here. It creates this incredible slip between your skin and the razor, so the blade glides instead of drags. The result? A close, smooth shave without the aftermath. Just soft skin that actually feels good.

"Most shaving products strip everything away and leave your skin to fend for itself. I wanted the opposite. The extra castor oil builds that dense lather, the clay gives you the glide, and the rosehip helps calm everything down afterward. It's a shaving bar that works with your skin, not against it."

Why You'll Love It

• Ends Razor Burn: The dense, stable lather creates a protective barrier between blade and skin. Nicks, redness, and irritation become the exception, not the rule.
• Actually Moisturizes: Our superfatted formula means extra castor oil and rosehip seed oil stay in the bar. You're conditioning while you shave, not stripping your skin bare.
• Works Everywhere: Legs, underarms, bikini line. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, effective enough to handle the tough spots.
• Warm Sandalwood and Vanilla: Not perfumey. Not overpowering. Just a warm, grounding scent that makes the whole experience feel a little more intentional.

The Ritual

Wet the bar and your skin. Work up a lather directly on the area you're shaving, or use a brush if you want that barbershop-level foam. Shave with the grain first, then against if you want it closer. Rinse. Notice how your skin feels different. That's the point.

Key Ingredients

Castor Oil

The reason this lather is so dense and stable. This thick, rich oil helps the razor glide while leaving behind serious moisture.

Rosehip Seed Oil

Packed with vitamins and fatty acids that help soothe freshly shaved skin and support an even, healthy-looking complexion.

Glacial Clay

A mineral-rich clay that adds exceptional slip to the lather. It's what lets the blade glide instead of drag.

Complete Your Ritual

A good shave deserves a good follow-up. Lock in all that smoothness with our Coconut Vanilla Hand & Body Cream for deep moisture, or go lighter with the Vanilla Chai Jojoba & Avocado Lotion. Either way, the sandalwood-vanilla family stays together.

Your razor isn't the problem. Your shaving soap was.
