full scent profile
Black Amber
Rich. Smooth. Sophisticated.
Primary Notes: French Vanilla, Rustic Amber, Black Myrrh.
The Vibe: Sophisticated, rich, and undeniably smooth. This scent captures the atmosphere of a finely furnished study: leather-bound books, a glass of rare scotch, and quiet confidence. It is a classic profile updated for the modern gentleman who appreciates the finer things.
The Profile: A decadent blend that balances sweetness with shadow. We began with rich French Vanilla to provide a creamy, inviting opening. To keep it masculine and grounded, we combined it with rustic amber, black Myrrh, and a splash of Egyptian Musk. The result is a warm, complex aroma that draws people in without overpowering the room.
Who It’s For: The Modern Gentleman. Ideal for date nights, evening events, or cooler weather. This is for the man who wants a scent that invites people closer rather than shouting across the room. If you prefer warmth over citrus, this is the one.
The first line of defense against razor burn.
If you suffer from tugging, redness, or irritation, the problem likely isn't your razor—it's your prep. Your whiskers are as tough as copper wire, and your skin is soft. You need an equalizer.
Our Ultra-Glide Pre-Shave Oil is engineered to create a microscopic barrier between the blade and your face. It allows the razor to plane effortlessly over the skin, cutting the hair without taking a layer of dermis with it.
The "Brush-Safe" Formula Most pre-shave oils are heavy and greasy. They clog your pores and ruin expensive badger brushes. We formulated ours differently. By using a base of Grapeseed and Organic Jojoba, we created a "dry" oil that rinses clean. It gives you the slickness you need without the gunk you hate.
Why add this to your routine?
- The Softener: Instantly penetrates coarse stubble, softening the outer shell of the hair so it cuts rather than pulls.
- The Shield: Significantly reduces "weepers" and nicks by padding the skin surface.
- Dual-Purpose: It’s so light and nourishing, you can use a few drops after the shave as a heavy-duty moisturizer for dry spots.
Ingredients|Technical Notes
Our shave oil uses a focused blend of lightweight plant oils to prep the beard, condition the skin, and improve razor glide before the first pass.
Jojoba Oil helps soften the beard and condition the skin without feeling overly heavy. Because it closely resembles the skin’s natural oil, it helps the formula feel balanced and easy to wear.
Avocado Oil adds richer conditioning and helps soften tougher beard growth before shaving. It also helps the skin feel more comfortable during and after the shave.
Apricot Kernel Oil gives the blend a smooth, lightweight feel and helps improve softness in both the beard and the skin underneath. It helps the oil spread easily without feeling sticky.
Grapeseed Oil keeps the formula lighter and faster absorbing. It helps improve glide and makes the shave oil feel slick without leaving behind a greasy residue.
Fragrance gives each shave oil its scent profile without changing the core performance of the formula.
The result is a pre-shave oil that helps reduce drag, improve comfort, and give the razor a smoother path across the skin.
how to use it
Apply a small amount of shave oil to damp skin and beard before lathering your shave soap or cream. Massage it into the stubble and skin underneath, then shave as usual.
Using a shave oil first helps soften the beard, improve razor glide, and add an extra layer of protection between your skin and the blade. That means a smoother first pass, less drag, and a more comfortable shave overall—especially on tougher growth or sensitive areas.

Black Amber Vanille is a winner!
WSP knocked this one outta the park. The scent is warm, smooth, and sweet without smelling like I rubbed a vanilla cupcake all over my face. 😂 The soap lathers up beautifully, has great slickness, and gives a really comfortable shave.
The splash carries that same fantastic scent and makes a perfect finishing touch.
Bottom line: great performance, great scent, and a damn fine shave. Black Amber Vanille has definitely earned a permanent spot in my den!
Black amber vanilla is the soft jazz, fine cigar, fireplace sitting, snifter of warm brandy kind of soap. It provides a rich lather, warming scent but not overpowering and rinses clean.
Ship in a box like you do bars of soap. More convenient for people with their own shave mug.
Great product. Will give 5 stars once they finally make it easier for customers to use in their own shave mug. I don’t like melting my soap just to transfer to my mug. Ship it like you do bars of soap.
Love the scent and lather.
Wonderfully thick lather. Holds up on my face and feels really nice.
I bought this for my hubby as it said it was the closest balm to smelling like the old Langerfeld Balm used to smell. It is very close - just a little less fragrant but I do love the smell.
It has a great scent exactly what I was looking for and very different from other aftershaves
Another scent that I love from WSP. I prefer the Rustic Shaving Soap to the Formula T, it just feels a little lighter to me and rinses off cleanly. Part of a great shave!
The guys at WSP are always helpful and knowledgeable. I have gone down to their storefront and their people have shared a lot of knowledge with me and let me poke around and smell what’s available. Great company local or online.
Great products
I’ve been using this shaving soap for years and at this point it’s an essential part of my morning routine. Good lather, good glide, easy rinse when done. The only thing holding back from five stars is that the scent does not stay as strong from the first shave to the last, and that if you keep the lid on the puck and don’t let it dry out between uses it turns to goo and doesn’t last as long. But since no other company has beat rose problems either, it’s a quandary for the ages.
Do recommend, and highly.
Nicest scent
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the scent of our Black Amber Eau de Parfum. We hope it continues to bring sophistication to your day.
One of my all-time favorite soaps, from a company that is just fantastic to deal with.
One of my friends works for this company and gave me a sample of some soaps and as soon as I smelled black ber vanilla I knew I was going to be buying that from now on. It feels amazing on my skin and has me smelling great. I highly recommend this product!
This soap lathers well and leaves my skin soft and clean. I get lots of compliments on the scent of the soap. All in all the best soap I have bought.
The soap you produce with its natural ingredients is great. I am allergic to almost all the soap sold in retail stores. With WSP I don’t have to be concerned about it. It is well worth the money. I enjoy the special blends that you come up with throughout the year. WSP is a great company to deal with.
Smells and feels fantastic!
This aftershave and soap is AMAZING! Great company....zero complaints!
Works great
Very good products, service, shipping also above average
I love this balm. I apply once a day.
wonderful aroma, lathers quick and creamy.
Great product and love the fragrances
Best beard oil out there. Just straightforward ingredients and the perfect scents. Not too heavy and not too light...just right.
This stuff is great. It's easy to apply, not too stiff and leaves a great smell on my beard. It smells like sugar cookies once applied. One of my buddies asked me if I had been baking cookies when I walked into the room once. I told him it was just me. He seemed a little disappointed. I, on the other hand, am not.
I ordered the Black Amber soap because of the great scent. I obtained small sample bar and was blown away by the ease of developing a copious amount of lather within a few seconds. The scent is so good that my wife now uses the same bar of soap because she loves the ease of developing a lot of lather and she also loves the scent.
They smell amazing!
I love this product line. Although I don't use everything they have, the items I do use are the best.
I have been using their products for over two years and greatly enjoy the ease of use a great shave that I get. Encourage men who shave to investigate. Love most of the scents and so does DW.
