Acadian — Shaving Soap Sample
Deep in the House’s forgotten grounds lies the Acadian trail—a winding path where citrus hangs bright in the air, spice warms the blood, and the trees themselves seem to breathe. It is said the Apothecary first followed this trail to gather the roots and resins that shaped his earliest castings. The scent has stayed with him ever since, clinging to memory like sunlight on old bark.
Acadian opens with the spark of tangerine, a flash of orange against green shadow. Cinnamon and cardamom follow in warm currents, as if rising from a hidden hearth beneath the forest floor. Ginger glows like embers under leaf litter, while patchouli anchors the ritual in deep, living earth. Ylang ylang bends the air with soft, floral heat, amber smooths the edges into dusk, and palo santo exhales its quiet smoke. A final trace of musk lingers like a footprint fading in soft soil.
The Apothecary tempers each batch by hand—stearic, tallow, and mango butter brought to a dense, velvety lather that clings to the blade and protects the skin. No factory froth masquerading as soap; only a true ritual drawn from the land itself.
Acadian is the scent of warm earth, wandering spice, and the old paths of the House—inviting, grounding, and touched with quiet magic. The small vessel exists for reconnaissance—to test the ritual before committing to the full discipline.

Absolutely beautiful brush. What a great idea to be able to pick components to customize your brush. Rich always is trying to figure out new ways to serve his customers. I have several of his brushes and they are all great.
Great quality. I would purchase again.
Quality, form, and function are all fantastic. Fits perfectly in your hand while working up a good lather. Mine came with a greater amount of red coloration compared to the silver and in my opinion makes the piece look stunning.
These bowls are absolutely incredible!!!
Stunning bowl. Great lather. Rich worked with me to swap out the item I preordered for a newer, in stock item, which was awesome. Medium is pretty big, wouldn’t go any bigger. The bowl looks as good in real life as the pics!
