full scent profile
Olympus
Smoky. Fruity. Powerful.
Primary Notes: Pineapple, Birch Smoke, Blackcurrant.
The Vibe: Fit for a king. Named after the home of the Greek gods and inspired by the profile of Aventus, this is a scent of conquest. It is a provocative mix of creamy smoke and crisp fruit that projects power and authority.
The Profile: A magnificent example of a "Fruity Chypre" fragrance. The experience begins with an initial blast of fresh pineapple, apple, and blackcurrant. As it dries down, that fruitiness gives way to a smoky, creamy heart of birch, juniper berries, and jasmine. The base anchors the scent with warm vanilla, oakmoss, musk, and sandalwood. It is a journey from fresh to smoky that lasts all day.
Who It’s For: The Leader. This is a "Power Scent" designed for high-stakes environments. It is for the ambitious man who wants his presence to be felt. It projects high energy and confidence, making it a favorite for big meetings or nights out on the town.
Rich cushion. Dense lather. A bolder, more luxurious shave.
Olympus Formula T Shaving Soap is built for shavers who want maximum cushion, strong glide, and a richer post-shave feel from a premium tallow-based formula. Where Rustic is known for speed, Formula T is known for protection: a dense, yogurt-like lather that holds water well, softens the feel of the blade, and helps make each pass smoother and more comfortable.
Made with tallow and shea butter, Formula T is WSP’s more indulgent shaving soap base. It was designed to capture the feel of classic old-world tallow soaps while improving the post-shave experience with better conditioning and easier daily performance. The result is a hard-cured puck that feels substantial, lasts well, and delivers a shave that feels unmistakably premium.
Olympus pairs that rich performance with one of WSP’s boldest scent profiles: bright fruit, soft smoke, woods, and warmth. It opens fresh, settles deeper, and gives the shave a more commanding, modern character from start to finish.
Why shavers choose Formula T:
- Dense, high-cushion lather for a more protected shave
- Tallow and shea butter for better glide and post-shave comfort
- Hard-cured puck for long life and concentrated value
- Performs well even in hard water
- Available in multiple loadouts if you want to build the full routine
Ingredients|Technical Notes
Stearic Acid, Water, Tallow, Coconut Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Fragrance, Sodium Hydroxide.
A premium tallow-and-shea-butter shaving soap crafted for dense lather, strong glide, and a more conditioned post-shave feel.
how to use it
Formula T performs best when fully hydrated.
Soak your shaving brush thoroughly.
Load directly from the jar for 20 to 30 seconds until the brush is well coated.
Build your lather on the face or in a bowl.
Add water gradually until the lather becomes shiny, dense, and creamy.
Formula T is a thirsty soap, so do not stop at a dry lather. Keep adding small amounts of water until you get the cushion, slickness, and glide the formula is known for.
The Story
Formula T is what happened when we set out to build a shave soap with no weak points.
We wanted the richness and tradition of a classic tallow soap, but with the kind of performance that makes the difference obvious from the first pass. The goal was simple: more cushion, more slickness, more protection, and a lather that feels dense, stable, and ready for serious work.
This is our more advanced, more performance-driven shave soap — built for the wet shaver who knows what he likes and expects his lather to keep up. Formula T was designed to create a heavier, more protective shave experience that helps the blade move smoothly while keeping the skin better insulated from irritation.
Where Rustic speaks to simplicity, Formula T speaks to refinement. It is still rooted in traditional shaving, but it is engineered for the man who wants to push his routine further. Better glide. Better cushion. Better feel on the face. The kind of shave soap that earns its place as a daily driver because it performs every time.
It is also a reflection of how we make products at WSP: by hand, in small batches, with a focus on what actually improves the shave rather than what looks good on a label. Formula T is not about complexity for its own sake. It is about building a soap that makes a great shave easier to achieve.
Formula T is for the man who wants a richer lather, stronger protection, and a shave soap built to perform at a higher level.

Great performance like always by WSP soaps. Only complaint is just a minor gripe. I've never been a huge fan of the tubs. Dont exactly lend themselves to brush loading. Im gonna have to look into smaller than 24mm knots. The scent is pretty nice. Really like that currant punch
Love the quality and texture.
Once I discovered the joys of shave soap I never went back to the fluff in a can. Once I discovered Formula T I never left.
The size is perfect if you travel, are unsure about a scent, or just trying a formulation for the first time. Easy to pack, won’t crush no matter how you pack, and totally reusable and recyclable. Get yourself a shaving brush to go with it and both of them take up less space in your kit than a can of big-name foam.
This is my first experience with a tallow soap. I must confess I do not care for it after initial trial. It does not load on the brush as hoped.
My husband loves the Hercules hold! It's the best hold his handlebar has gotten out of a wax.
My husband loves the beard oil and balm. His favorites are Barbershop, Mahogany and Tobacco. My daughter loves the scents so much that she wishes you made candles.
The shaving cream is great and the scent is the best. I hope you continue making it.
I bought both the shaving soap and the body bar. Both arrived promptly. Upon arrival both had the promised cedar scent. After the first use, the scent was mostly gone from the soap and completely gone from the shaving soap. The shaving soap is quite serviceable, I do get a good shave with it, but the scent is gone. I’m disappointed in that.
The lather and cushioning was as great as the other WSP products. The scent really left me wanting. I could barely smell anything and what I did get was like a day old, cold fire. It was not at all what I was hoping for.
Smells great! Although I wish it were a little stronger. Lathering and quality of soap top rate!
Fragrance was disappointing
Soap is great. Easy to lather great slickness and the scent is fantastic
This is a really good beard oil.
I like using there aftershave. It's not so powerful that it says on you all day. Enough that after several hours it fades. My wife enjoys the scents as well. Fast shipping.
Got this as the matching balm for the Formula T shaving soap. A bit pricey, but a little of the balm goes a long way ==> should last quite a while. I usually prefer post-shave balms (as opposed to splashes) for their moisturizing properties and this does that very well. There's also a nice cooling sensation in it (just a hint of menthol? but not so much that you can actually smell it.) And as with the Olympus scent Formula T soap, my wife likes the aroma. So again, highly recommend this.
I've used several products from the Wet Shave line and this one was for travel. It arrived sooner than expected and performs wonderfully as expected. I highly recommend.
Overall nice only issue I have is the scent was not strong enough.
This has became my go to beard balm. First off the scent is practically spot on Aventus. You get all the smoky pineapple goodness and it stays with you for several hours. Now for the balm. The balm leaves a great feel to your beard, and the light hold keeps helps keep the shape all day. I’ll definitely be ordering more in different scents.
Tried many types of shaving soap from others and consistently find Wet Shaving Products to be the best. A loyal customer !
Hydrating I think it could use more water. It is a thick soap. Tallow meets expectations and post-shave feel is the best. I enjoy tobacco scent for man, mom thought it was strong for her. I think the only thing I would do is to order the Rustic in addition to the Tallow Big T Formula so you get a sense of tallow and vegan.
I like a shaving soap that doesn’t evaporate while I’m shaving. Formula T Shaving Soap lathers up very well, and retains moisture and softness while I’m shaving. The aroma is pleasing, as well, and one of the best things is how long a tin of Formula T lasts. I recommend it!
A great scent, will buy this from now on.
Maybe a stronger scent would be good advice.
Everything we have bought from Wet Shaving Products has been excellent quality. I've been a customer for a long time and the rustic shaving soap is the best hands down. Fragrances are great as well.
I use this oil as pre shave and bear oil
I don't normally like Oily pre-shaves but this one was amazing. It smells just like the formula T and aftershave. It makes it super simple to apply shave soaps afterwards and shaves without issues.
It's great
Great products. Always happy.
The Beard balm is absolutely wonderful. I've been an exclusive WSP product user for 6+ years. Cory is wonderful and very knowledgeable.
Lightweight that helps my razor burn that I often get from shaving. It is not greasy, I enjoy the scent, and a little goes a long way.
I wanted to love this but the scent falls short for me, it does have longevity so if you find one you like you'll be able to smell it throughout the day. Otherwise I enjoy the product so I'm interested to try the unscented version.
It’s a perfect way to end the shave! Nice and cooling! It’s almost the best part of the total experience. This balm is easy to get out and once I apply it my skin just soaks it up and craves it! I’m going to get this in Matterhorn after my Olympus supply depletes. ! Be Looking for my order soon! You need to order it too’
I have been using WSP products for several years. The after shave balm and tonic are great. My go to scents are Olympus and Mahogny.
