Performance Profile

The formula combines potassium and sodium soap salts derived from stearic acid, beef tallow, castor oil, and coconut oil. This blend provides the soap structure used to build shaving lather, while glycerin serves as a humectant that helps retain moisture.

Coconut milk, slippery elm, and meadowfoam are also listed in the formula. The ingredient declaration alone does not establish exact slickness, cushion, or post-shave performance. Gradual water addition lets you adjust the lather to your brush and preferred consistency.

Soap Base

• Beef Tallow: Listed as Potassium Tallowate (Beef Tallow), with Sodium Tallowate also included.
• Coconut Milk: The first ingredient in the supplied declaration.
• Glycerin: A humectant included to help retain moisture.
• Additional Ingredients: Slippery elm, meadowfoam, cellulose gum, and microcrystalline cellulose are included in the supplied formula.
• Vegan Status: Not vegan because the formula contains beef tallow.

A Word from the Manufacturer

When midnight strikes, the masters of Halloween take their seats. Masked killers, ancient vampires, restless spirits, and creatures born of nightmares gather beneath a blood-red moon. Tonight, every legend has answered the call, and there’s one empty chair waiting for you.

Blackberry and black currant open the evening with a rich, forbidden sweetness. Saffron and anise drift through the shadows, their haunting spice drawing you deeper into the gathering. Dark musk creeps beneath it all, while tonka bean and amber leave a warm, seductive trail long after the candles burn out.

Darkly sweet. Wickedly inviting. A fragrance worthy of the company you keep.

The legends are waiting. Take your seat.
