A Word from the Manufacturer

Inspired by Anthony Bourdain's philosophy of embracing life's journey and the iconic Ramones song that shares its name, 53rd & 3rd captures the spirit of adventure, grit, and individuality. Rich leather-like depth, roasted coffee, earthy vetiver, and warming spices are balanced by vibrant citrus notes, creating a fragrance as memorable as the stories that inspired it.

Performance Profile

Built on First Line Shave's renowned Imperial Wagyu soap base, 53rd & 3rd produces a rich, dense lather with exceptional slickness, cushioning, and residual glide. The premium tallow-based formula helps soften facial hair while providing a protective layer between the razor and skin throughout the shave.
