  • Traditional, lathering shaving soap
  • Tallow-based
  • Scented with florals, greens, and earthy notes

Chad uses nature as his inspiration for crafting scents that make you sit up and take notice. As a soapmaking hobbyist, Chad is committed to loving what he does for the sake of it. If you want to join his soap-making journey, check out this soap.

As a tallow-based recipe, this soap whips up a rich, dense, long-lasting lather. The addition of oils, butters, marshmallow root, and tussah silk all combine for a moisturizing finish.

Chad’s inspiration for this Old Burying Ground scent is a crumbling and neglected cemetery in Westfield, MA. It represents many such landmarks, but Talbot Shaving is helping to restore this one by donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this soap to its preservation. The floral, rose forward notes of the top of this scent seek to evoke the bouquets which wreath a recent burial plot. Then green notes of grass and freshly turned soil come into play.

Size: 4oz

Ingredients: Stearic acid, water, tallow, glycerin, potassium hydroxide, shea butter, fragrance, castor oil, sodium hydroxide, rice bran oil, kokum butter, lanolin, palm kernel flakes, jojoba oil, wheat germ oil, babassu oil

Burying Ground shaving soap

My husband loves this product! Great lather and scent and the bonus is that purchasing this shaving soap supports the preservation of one of the oldest burying grounds in the country still in its original location! Chad has created a fabulous soap! The after shave is very nice, too!

Great base and scent!

I love this soap base. The scent is awesome. It triggers childhood memories for me I guess it’s the grass and dirt but the floral notes are mixed in perfectly, which brings it all together. Very unusual unique scent! These are the scents I hunt for! Great job!

Old burial ground.

An intriguing name convinced me to purchase this product. It has good lather and makes for a smooth shave. The scent may be off putting to some users. I found it quite earthy smelling in a clean way. Definitely not perfumery or of a “manly scent” I found it subtle clean and taking me back to agrarian times.

Great volume of thick lather

This product requires a bit of softening with hot water, a fine badger brush and a bit of effort.But the reward is voluminous sticky thick lather that stays on your face till you shave it off. A clean, not overwhelming scent. I was initially put off by it because I’m not usually a fan of soap, I usually use creams, but this one has sold me. I will definitely be buying again.
