Gentleman's Nod Ernest Shave Soap 5oz

Scent Notes

• Top Notes: Lime, Mango, Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit
• Heart Notes: Jasmine, Tobacco, Lavender
• Base Notes: Tobacco, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Sandalwood

Inspired by the adventures of Ernest Hemingway during his Key West and Cuba years, Ernest is a vibrant and sophisticated fragrance that captures the spirit of exploration. Bright tropical citrus notes open the scent before warm florals and tobacco emerge. The fragrance settles into a rich, masculine base of tobacco, vetiver, cedarwood, and sandalwood, creating a refined scent that feels equally at home on a summer adventure or an evening by the water.

Best For: Wet shavers who enjoy bright citrus fragrances balanced by tobacco, woods, and warm masculine undertones.

Performance Profile

Gentleman's Nod C4 (Cardinal V.4) represents a complete evolution of the original Cardinal base. Developed through extensive research and testing, this tallow-based formula loads quickly, lathers effortlessly, and delivers outstanding slickness, cushion, and post-shave comfort. One of its standout qualities is its versatility—whether you prefer a quick lather or a fully hydrated masterpiece, the lather continues to improve throughout the shave, providing exceptional performance on every pass.

A Word from the Manufacturer

C4 is a complete overhaul of the Cardinal base, incorporating countless hours of research, development, and tester feedback. The formula loads extremely fast, lathers easily, and offers improvements across every aspect of shaving performance. Perhaps its most unique characteristic is the ability to produce an excellent lather quickly while also rewarding additional hydration with even greater slickness and comfort. The lather quality continues to improve throughout the shave, making each pass better than the last.

Directions for Use

Soak your shaving brush in warm water. Load the brush by swirling it over the soap for approximately 20–30 seconds. Build lather in a shaving bowl or directly on the face, gradually adding water until the desired consistency is achieved. Shave as normal and rinse thoroughly after use.
