A Word from the Manufacturer

Bold. Sophisticated. Unforgettable.

Obsidian Pass is a rich, modern fragrance that blends smoky woods, supple leather, and luxurious oud into a scent that is both rugged and refined. Bright citrus and fresh air create a crisp opening before warm spices lead into an elegant heart of sandalwood, tonka, and leather.

As the lather develops, deep notes of amber, oak, vanilla, smoke, and musk create a smooth, lingering finish that feels powerful without overwhelming the senses. Complex and perfectly balanced, Obsidian Pass is crafted for those who appreciate darker, more distinguished fragrances.

Directions for Use

Load a damp shaving brush directly from the soap using circular motions until the brush is adequately loaded. Build the lather in a shaving bowl or directly on the face, gradually adding small amounts of water until a dense, creamy, and slick consistency develops. Apply evenly to the beard area and shave as desired. Rinse thoroughly after shaving.
