Le Coiffeur — Shaving Soap Sample
Before the House had a King, there was a barber whose hands knew every secret a blade could whisper. His shop was a place of warm towels, quiet breath, and the soft rasp of steel on stubble. But his devotion to closeness—true closeness—became an obsession. Each shave drew him nearer to something unseen. Some say he trimmed so near the skin that his razor brushed the very edge of the reality…and slipped through.
The scent he left behind lives still. At the Apothecary’s bench, that old barbershop essence is coaxed back into form—clean, crisp, and impossibly sharp. Bright aldehydes crackle like fresh lather hitting warm air. Lavender and geranium lay out the classic lines of the trade, tidy as a freshly dusted collar. A thread of oakmoss and cedar gives weight and age, like the wooden chair that creaked under a thousand customers. And beneath it all, a faint warmth—amber and musk—echoes the man himself: steady, precise, and one step closer to a mystery he never meant to find.
The lather is rich, structured, and obedient to the razor, offering the glide that the old barber chased his whole life. No factory goop masquerading as soap—only a patient rendering of oils, tallow, and mango butter into something worthy of ritual.
Each batch is tempered under the Apothecary’s eye, released only when it meets the impeccable standard that would have satisfied the barber who vanished chasing perfection. 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!
