Calabria Shave Soap
$29.00
-
Citrus aromatic fragrances with a Mediterranean flair have always been a bit of a “guilty pleasure” for me. This is particularly true when they are anchored by the extraordinary citrus from Calabria, Bergamot.
It is at once bright and invigorating with a unique bittersweet tartness. It’s uniqueness is bolstered by the subtle floral and herbal elements that hide just beneath the surface. Like a polished gemstone, it has many exemplary facets that shine through when combined with complementary notes.
When developing Calabria we wanted to create an experience that is bright, effervescent and uplifting. Imagine the scene overlooking the beauty of the Italian coastline engaged in light conversation among friends. You order brunch while sipping on an Aperol Spritz. The sun is shining bright while the sounds of birds and the ocean are carried on a gentle breeze. - This is Calabria!
The bright and tart Bergamot is combined with a sparkling and zesty grapefruit. This effervescent open is tempered a bit by the unique fresh aromatic combo of Ginger and Cardamom. A beautiful trio of florals headed by the amazing fruity Osmanthus blends harmoniously into the mix. The finish is soft and smooth with woods and musk. We hope you enjoy this truly exceptional expression of a citrus aromatic fragrance with a Mediterranean twist.

Introducing Musashi an original fragrance from Gentleman's Nod. This is the first LE offering in a new "Origins" series, featuring a fragrance developed around a single note or accord.
The fragrance is inteded to invoke feelings of walking from an isolated coastal region with the fresh zest of citrus and sweetness of Nashi pear.

Ultimately as your journey continues into yet higher, forested elevations the fragrance again transforms into a more earthy and woodsy mix reminiscent of the damp forest floor and ancient firs.
We invite you to be immersed in this beautiful fragrance developed around a heart of Jasmine Tea with the accompanying notes stemming from an Asian origin with Japan in particular. Rediscover the ritual!

[ERNEST (85)]
Notes of green mango, citrus, and tobacco flower.
Created for adventurers, novelists, rum and cigar aficionado’s of all kinds. We took the inspiration for this fragrance from the Key West and Cuba days. Rumor has it that when attempting to catch a monster fish - sometimes it takes 85 days! Ernest is a bright, fresh, tropical citrus fragrance.
[George 01]
Notes of cedarwood, tobacco, and cherry.
George Washington, POTUS #1, definitively a man’s man represents our darker masculine fragrance. Traditional warm and earthy elements create the base of this deep fragrance.
[JACKIE 42]
Notes of bergamot, sandalwood, and fresh grass.
Jackie was a pioneer in numerous ways and eminently deserving of the Gentleman’s Nod as evidenced by the retiring of #42 across every MLB team! Jackie is the quintessential masculine fragrance. It is light, clean, and fresh.
[VINCENT 11]
Notes of Bergamot, Lavender, Bitter Almond, Cypress, and Vetiver.
Van Gogh was perhaps the most famous artist the world has known. His life and works exemplified the contrast of beauty and tragedy. The inspiration for this complex fragrance was taken from the prolific period of Arles and Saint-Rémy. The number 11 is found in the number of stars in his most beloved work, The Starry Night.

Cooled Summer Edition seriously amps up the Mango and highlights the citrus top in a very unique way. Think mango and citrus carried on a breeze with a touch of sun-kissed skin and the familiar base of warm tobacco and woods. Your tropical summer beach vacation has arrived.
The cooling in this soap is noticeable, but not overbearing in any way. It does last 20-30 minutes following the shave.
C4 is really a complete overhaul of the Cardinal base. It combines the result of countless hours of R&D and input from testers. This base loads extremely fast, lathers easily and offers improvements in performance across the board. Perhaps the most unique quality of this base is that you can build a great lather very quickly or continue to hydrate to build a truly exceptional lather. The lather quality seems to improve with each pass!

Ernest opens up with a bright and uplifting tropical citrus accord. The fragrance transitions with the addition of warm florals and tobacco. As the aroma settles into the skin it finishes with the warm notes of tobacco, vetiver and woods. The perfect fragrance for your next summer adventure.
