No Limits. No Compromises. The Founder's Reserve.
There are products we make to sell, and then there are products we make for ourselves. This is the latter.
The Reserve Collection represents the personal creations of our founder, Lee. The philosophy behind this collection was simple: What happens when you remove the budget constraints?
We ignored the cost sheet and sourced the rarest, most volatile, and most expensive ingredients on the planet—Haitian Vetiver, Real Oud, Tobacco Absolute, and ethically sourced Ambergris.
This is not just an aftershave; it is an investment in your presence.
The "Cooling" Skincare Formula We took our elite "Anti-Grease" base—packed with Shea Butter and Argan Oil—and engineered it for the ultimate post-shave relief.
-
The Menthol Kick: We infused this formula with a precise dose of Menthol. It delivers an immediate, cooling "snap" that stops razor burn in its tracks and wakes up your complexion. It isn't painful; it's refreshing.
-
Zero Grease: You are paying for the scent and the repair, not the shine. Our formula absorbs instantly, leaving a matte finish that looks professional and clean.
-
Clinical Repair: Enhanced with Allantoin and Aloe Juice, this balm actively repairs micro-cuts and reduces redness while the scent projects around you.
Why "Fresh" is Critical for Reserve Scents High-end ingredients like Real Oud and Citron are volatile. They have a "shelf life" of perfection. If they sit in a warehouse for six months, the top notes flatten out. By compounding this fresh to order, we ensure you experience the full, explosive complexity of the fragrance exactly as Lee intended.

The Reserve List - Signature Scents
This is the Signature Series.
This is the "Reserve List." These are the personal creations of our founder, Lee. These scents represent WSP's first true foray into the world of fine haute perfumery.
The Philosophy: No holds barred. No cost limits. No compromises. When you remove the budget constraints from a perfumer, magic happens. We sourced the rarest, most volatile, and most expensive essential oils and absolutes on the planet—Haitian Vetiver, Real Oud, Tobacco Absolute, and ethically sourced Ambergris.
These are not just scents; they are investments in your presence.
Black Vetiver
Spicy. Elemental. Dark.
Primary Notes: Haitian Vetiver, Crushed Black Pepper, Bergamot.
The Vibe: The scent of the earth after a storm. This is a celebration of Vetiver in its most raw, powerful form. We stripped away the clean, soapy notes found in commercial colognes to showcase the "root"—dark, smoky, and intensely masculine. It evokes the feeling of volcanic soil and deep, ancient forests.
The Profile: This fragrance is a study in depth. It opens with an aggressive, invigorating crack of Black Pepper and bright Bergamot, designed to wake up the senses. But the brightness is fleeting. The scent quickly descends into a rich heart of Cedar and Sandalwood, before settling into the star of the show: a heavy dose of Spicy Haitian Vetiver. It provides a long-lasting, captivating aroma that feels like armor.
Who It’s For: The Individualist. This is not for the guy who wants to smell like "clean laundry." This is for the man who appreciates the natural, earthy beauty of raw ingredients. It is moody, complex, and perfect for evening wear or colder months.
Classic Vetiver
Green. Bright. Aristocratic.
Primary Notes: Citrus Blend, Vetiver, Ambergris.
The Vibe: Timeless elegance. While Black Vetiver explores the roots, Classic Vetiver explores the leaves. Inspired by the legendary citrus-vetiver profiles of houses like Guerlain and Givenchy, this scent evokes the golden age of cinema. It feels like a linen suit on the French Riviera—breezy, sophisticated, and effortlessly cool.
The Profile: Sunshine and shadows. The scent opens with a sparkling array of Bergamot and mixed Citruses, providing an immediate mood lift. As it dries, the "green" quality emerges through a smooth blend of Cedar and Sandalwood. The finish is where the money is: we anchored the airy vetiver with real Ambergris, giving it a salty, skin-like finish that lasts all day.
Who It’s For: The Gentleman. This is the ultimate "Signature Scent" for the office or the country club. It is fresh enough for the heat of summer but woody enough to command respect in the boardroom. If you value tradition and polish, this is your standard.
Oud Citron
Exotic. Royal. Paradoxical.
Primary Notes: Real Agarwood (Oud), Zesty Citron, Musk.
The Vibe: East meets West in perfect harmony. Oud is often considered the "liquid gold" of perfumery—heavy, resinous, and animalistic. We tamed the beast by pairing it with the sharpest, brightest citrus on earth. The result is a scent that feels like a modern palace: opulence with open windows.
The Profile: A sophisticated contradiction. At the first spray, you are greeted with a blinding burst of Tangy Citron, cutting through the air like a knife. But immediately underneath, the Warm, Earthy Oud rises to meet it. As the fragrance evolves, the heart reveals delicate floral notes that bridge the gap, finally resting on a warm, comforting base of Musk and Ambergris. It is a masterclass in balance.
Who It’s For: The Modern King. This is a statement piece. It is perfect for the man who wants to exude confidence and strength without saying a word. It is distinctive, luxurious, and tells the world that you know exactly what you are worth.
Tobacco Vanilla
Rich. Boozy. The Magnum Opus.
Primary Notes: Tobacco Absolute, Madagascar Vanilla, Tonka Bean.
The Vibe: The interior of a humidor in a private library. This is our newest flagship fragrance, designed specifically for the man who refuses to blend in. It is bold, complex, and unapologetically heavy. It captures the aroma of unlit cigars, aged cognac, and leather chairs.
The Profile: We didn't use "tobacco scent"; we used Tobacco Absolute—a thick, dark extraction of the leaf itself. This provides a rich, leathery core that anchors the fragrance. We balanced this darkness with a heart of Warm Vanilla and Tonka Bean, infused with hints of Cedar and Sandalwood to keep it from becoming cloying. To add a spark of masculine energy, we topped it with invigorating Black Pepper and grounded it with Oakmoss.
Who It’s For: The Connoisseur. This is for the man who has "graduated" from aquatic sport scents. It is a dense, lingering fragrance that projects power and warmth. Perfect for date nights, winter evenings, or any time you need to leave an unforgettable impression.

The result is a fast-absorbing balm that cools, comforts, and leaves skin feeling better instead of weighed down.

The Story
The Story Behind WSP Aftershave Balm
WSP Aftershave Balm was made for the part of shaving most men feel after the razor is already down: dryness, tightness, windburn, and that low-level irritation that can follow even a good shave.
We wanted a balm that did not feel greasy, heavy, or like an afterthought. The goal was to create a final step that actually helped the skin feel calm, comfortable, and finished — without leaving behind the thick, sticky residue that makes some balms more annoying than helpful.
So we built our balm to absorb cleanly and work as the recovery side of the shave. Where the Splash refreshes and tones, the Balm helps restore comfort. It is the step that softens the landing, takes the edge off the shave, and helps the skin feel more balanced going into the rest of the day.
This is not just moisturizer with a shaving label on it. It is part of the full wet shaving system. A proper shave does not end when the last pass is done. The skin still has to recover, and the right balm makes that recovery feel easier, faster, and a lot more comfortable.
For men who shave regularly, especially with a safety razor, a good balm is not a luxury. It is part of protecting the face and keeping the routine sustainable day after day.
WSP Aftershave Balm is for the man who wants his post-shave routine to leave his skin calm, comfortable, and ready for whatever comes next.

Great product! Delivered on-time!
Lee’s aftershave splashes are great. Not too much sting, just enough. The scent was fantastic and stays with you awhile. Face feels great afterwards.
He made up a leftover batch of Old Virginia, a tobacco bases scent, somewhat similar to Tobacco Vanilla.
5 stars.
The scent matches the shave soap perfectly, and it’s the perfect size to match the full-size tins. Lots of scent options and they smell like their names. Highly recommend.
Excellent smell that last all day long..
True Lavender scent was a little disappointed at the staying power fades quickly
Great feel and fast fulfillment of order
Love it!! Great scent profile!! Only thing I would change is to use some type of permanent marker so water doesn’t wash off the writing.
The rose after-shave is the perfect light scent for a Spring night out with the wife.
I’m always hesitant about trying anything new. But, I thought that I’d take a chance with WSP’s ‘Black Beard’ aftershave, and found that I have picked a real winner. When I received my order, I couldn’t wait to try this scent in particular. So, after shaving in the AM before work, I splashed some on. I could smell whiskey and vanilla, and wow; a slight burn! From the minute I arrived at work, all I got were compliments about how “good” I smelled! And, the beautiful scent stayed with me most of the entire day. Thank you, WSP! This aftershave has to be the most unusual, sweet smelling scent that I have ever owned; or smelled!
always the best from lee at wsp.
What a great smell. I love your products
I have bought my shaving soap from WSP for a while now and they never fail. The Bay Rum scent from my most recent order exceeds expectations. They are my go to for my shaving supplies.
I discovered WSP in Borne, TX at a small shop. After I sampled Matterhorn in the store my wife told me it smelled great. Since then, when I wear it after shaving the scent lasts quite a while. It’s a good scent for the summer. I have had client’s that I work for comment that I smell good as well. I will continue to purchase this product. Please continue to make it.
Have the Summer Breeze, Blackbeard, and Fougere Noir aftershaves. All three fragrances are distinct and smell great after a shave. Can usually still get a hint of the fragrance 8 hours later. Can’t beat the price for what you get. Highly recommended!
Smells great!!
Can’t shave without this stuff anymore!! Scents last for a while too :muscle::skin-tone-3::call_me_hand::skin-tone-3:
You answered your telephone. Promptly and with a human saying hello - Bravo! Products are excellent timely delivery (I think King Kong wrapped them). Blessed Thanksgiving to all!
The best!
Great scent, my favorite
My favorite
The only aftershave I use.
Been using this for years. My favorite aftershave
Favorite aftershave and soap. Been using it for almost 10 years.
Customer service is amazing. There was a shipping issue and a very well wrapped bottle in bubble wrap still got broke by USPS. Corey took care of it immediately and replaced the product! Great company and the products are amazing. All of the scents are well done! I especially like the Olympus, Mahogany and Tobacco scents!! Formula T is one of the best shaving soap with Tallow I’ve used.
Absolutely Fantastic. . . 5 Stars for both Barbershop and Tobacco Vanilla

I have been using the WSP aftershaves for a while now, and they are all really solid. I just tried their Signatures scents with samples. The scents are just incredible! Somehow taking smelling great to the next level! My favorite is the Oud Citron, but the other 3 are really great as well! I am very happy to have discovered them, and they become a major part of my aftershave rotation! It feels great to smell great.
This stuff smells amazing! Shipped quick and packaged nicely.
Just ordered the Oud Citron and Tobacco Vanilla beard oils. The delivery time is amazing! Not sure how, but I received them both in two days. They both smell amazing, but I have only tried on the TV, as of yet. The vanilla is definitely noticable, but the tobacco and other scents both “refine” and “masculinize” it as well. An amazing complex scent. It’s difficult to tell what is all in it, but it just works. Like masculine abstract art from a master. Will definately be buying the solid colognes. Great work Lee!
I absolutely love this scent. It's truly perfect.
I received 8 cologne samples. I’d be happy to wear any one, really! I’ve been looking for a new “signature” scent since Davidoff discontinued The Good Life back in the 90’s. I think I’ve finally found it in Oud Citron. Galic Tweed has been a favorite since discovering it about a year ago; but, Oud Citron just screams ... Me! Black Orchid is also very nice. I wish that I would have picked up the shave soap when it had been released. Eau des Merveilles is also a winner along with Tobacco Vanilla. It’s almost a tough choice. Just as importantly, “ she who must be obeyed” also enjoys Oud Citron as well; it is her favorite WSP scent.
Thank you Lee and everyone at Wet Shaving Products for making such fantastic quality products with the best fragrances on the market at such reasonable prices. I’m done trying other products; none hold a candle to WSP!
Quality is magnificent as usual. Great scent as well. Very smoky vanilla with a healthy dose of amber hiding in there. I wish the smell was stronger but it's not cologne so maybe I'm expecting too much. Other than that the blend of oils is amazing. I've tried a lot of brands and this one is where it's at. Gets into the skin very well and not oily very silky.
