Description from the Vendor

Introducing our new silk tallow base with our most unique Midnight Stag fragrance.

While we still stand behind our OG base 100% and do not currently have plans to discontinue it, it has been five years since it was released and it was time to create a more modern shaving soap formula.

We tested ingredient after ingredient racking up fifty-six test batches before we settled on this one. The main secret is a massive amount of silk hydrolysate which is a very conditioning, natural, film-forming agent which is used in a lot of anti-aging creams (anti-aging statement not evaluated by the FDA, Yaya, yadda, etc).

Some of my testers reported feeling a skin tightening sensation - be aware that this is the film left by the silk hydrolysate.

For best results, load soaking wet brush for 40 seconds in the tub, then build lather on wet face for an additional minute. 

 

This one is masculine. Like really, really masculine. Like a “take an old, beat up leather jacket, drape it over a couple of tires to make a table and clean your guns on it” kind of masculine. Dark, unrefined, and totally unresistible, this is a scent for those who don’t mind sticking out. Those who forge the paths. Those who are proud to be a man.

Scent is made of the following notes: Russian Leather, Motor Oil, Hoppes #9, Birch Tar, Oakmoss, Gasoline, Smoke, Cedar, Cade, Bergamot, Vanilla

Natural extracts and essential oils were used where possible, but some notes – such as Hoppes #9 and rubber are synthetic due to the nature of the scent.

Size:  4oz of tallow based soap in a plastic tub (4" diameter and 2" tall). Tub is oversized to allow for easy loading of your shaving brush.

Made in the USA

Amazing soap, but can't stand the smell

I have tried three Chiseled Face soaps so far and I was delighted with the lather and slickness of every one. It whips up into a thick lather almost instantly and feels great on my face. However, the scent of this one is a total fail for me. All I can smell is the strong odor of a urinal cake. I don't really get any of the other scent notes described. While that odor is not necessarily offensive, I don't want it for my shaving soap.

Silk tallow Midnight Stag

Upon removing the lid I was greeted with the same iconic scent as from the original CF Midnight stag. The scent is either a love it or hate it type, and I love it. I get notes of Leather, Hopps gun solvent, Birch, and wood smoke. Its excellent and very unique. I’ve always used Hopps on my firearms and I definitely get more of it from the scent then I do of the gasoline or motor oil. The silk tallow base is much much firmer then the original base. Its almost triple milled firmness, so load your brush long and heavy. The thirst of this soap is something reminiscent of the thirst from reserve or DG Milksteak. I think this is an excellent base and when used properly the lather it produces is slick, dense, and nourishing. The silk content of this base is very high and because of that you may feel a skin tightening feeling after using and that is because it is a key ingredient in anti aging/anti wrinkle creams. I didn’t notice this feeling but I’m not opposed to using an anti aging ingredient. Follow up with the chiseled face splash, I love it!! If your not a manly man then it may be best to stay away from this scent
