Barbershop Formula T Shaving Soap – Tallow & Shea Butter – Artisan Lather

The Gold Standard of American Shaving.

They don't make them like this anymore—but we do. Formula T is our homage to classic Americana, named after the iconic Ford Model T. We set out to recreate the legendary performance of 19th-century tallow soaps, but with modern engineering.

While our vegan Rustic line is known for its rapid lather, Formula T is known for its cushion. By blending premium Tallow and Shea Butter, we created a soap that offers unrivaled cushion and protection. It produces a dense, yogurt-like lather that holds water and protects your skin from the sharpest blades. It is slick, moisturizing, and unmistakably premium.

The Formula T Difference:

• Tallow Enriched: Animal fats mimic human skin oils better than plants do. The result is a "greasier" (in a good way), slicker lather that prevents razor drag and irritation.
• Moisture Bomb: The heavy dose of Shea Butter ensures that your face feels conditioned and soft post-shave, never dry or tight.
• Concentrated Efficiency: We don't sell water. We cure our soaps for weeks to evaporate excess moisture, leaving you with a dense, hard puck. One 4 oz jar provides 100+ daily shaves.
• Hard Water Friendly: Engineered to lather effortlessly, even in hard water conditions.

The Craftsman’s Promise:

• Made in the USA: Handcrafted in our food-grade workshop in Chandler, Arizona.
• Clean Ingredients: Free of synthetic dyes, preservatives, and parabens.
• Satisfaction Guaranteed: If you don't love the lather, we'll make it right.

The Ingredients: Stearic Acid, Water, Tallow, Coconut Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Fragrance, & Sodium Hydroxide.

How to Use:

1. Soak: Wet your shaving brush thoroughly.
2. Load: Swirl the brush directly in the jar for 20-30 seconds until the tips are pasted with soap.
3. Build: Apply to your face (or a bowl) and add water gradually. Formula T is thirsty—keep adding water until you achieve a shiny, high-gloss meringue texture.

The Story of Formula T While we respect the vegan method, Tallow has always been our first love. Inspired by the legendary soaps of the past (like Mitchell’s Wool Fat and Tabac), we wanted to prove that an American artisan could stand toe-to-toe with the European giants. Formula T was the result. Unlike other experiments that took years, we nailed this formula almost immediately. It combines the slippery glide of the Old World with the moisturizing power of New World Shea Butter. It is, simply put, the best soap we know how to make.

Scent Profile

Barbershop

The Vibe: The quintessential scent of a clean shave. We looked to the old-world Italian barbering tradition to create a fragrance that is crisp, powdery, and timelessly masculine. It is the olfactory equivalent of a hot towel and a straight razor—clean, sharp, and confident.

The Profile: This isn't just a soap scent; it is a time capsule. We started with a classic base of powdery musk and oakmoss, then brightened it with zesty bergamot and orange. To give it that signature depth, we layered in earthy patchouli and a finishing touch of geranium. It pairs perfectly with our matching aftershave to complete the ritual.
