We didn’t just set out to make a vegan shaving cream; we set out to make the best shaving cream, period.

The result is a high-performance formula that defies expectations. By blending premium natural ingredients, we’ve created a cream that offers the elite cushion and glide of a tallow soap, with the convenience of a cream. It is slick, moisturizing, and entirely plant-based.

• Explosive Lather: Generates a thick, protective cushion in seconds to eliminate razor burn and irritation.
• Brush Optional: While we recommend a brush for the ultimate experience, this formula is slick enough to use as a brushless cream when you’re in a rush.
• Concentrated Value: A little goes a long way. This density rivals our hard soaps, giving you months of shaves in a single tin.
• 100% Natural & Vegan: No parabens, no silicons, no animal products. Just a clean, healthy shave.

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.

Black Amber Vanille

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: This is 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.

Gaelic Tweed

The Vibe: Invigorating freshness and pure masculinity. Modeled after the legendary Green Irish Tweed by Creed, this is a sophisticated masterpiece that feels like a brisk walk through the rolling countryside. It is green, refined, and perfect for the man who commands respect without raising his voice.

The Profile: A true classic never fades. The fragrance opens with a sharp, energetic blast of lemon verbena and peppermint. As it settles, the heart reveals fresh iris and violet leaf, finally resting on a deep, woody base of sandalwood and ambergris. It is a masterful, airy blend that smells like success.

Mahogany

The Vibe: Deep, woody, and a little bit dangerous. One customer’s wife described it simply as "sensual, woody, and spicy." It strikes the perfect balance between sweet and rugged, evoking the feeling of walking through a dense, ancient forest.

The Profile: This is a complex fragrance for those who want to stand out. The foundation is a robust note of mahogany and cedar, providing a heavy wood base. We then accented it with warm allspice and vanilla to add a touch of sweetness, before rounding it out with bergamot and patchouli. It is spicy, sexy, and incredibly distinct.

Olympus

The Vibe: Fit for a king. Named after the home of the Greek gods and inspired by Creed’s 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.

Sandalwood

The Vibe: The real deal. Forget the flowery, synthetic imitations you find in drugstores—this is a true, woody sandalwood. It is warm, sensual, and grounded, designed for the man who prefers the scent of fresh shavings over cologne.

The Profile: We stayed true to the source material. Instead of leaning into floral notes, we focused on the dry, creamy woodiness that makes sandalwood famous. While we use a hint of pure sandalwood essential oil, we bolstered the profile with earthy patchouli, cedar, and amyris to create a robust, enduring wood scent.

Tobacco

The Vibe: Green, fresh, and surprisingly modern. Put aside thoughts of cigarettes or ashtrays—this is the scent of the curing tobacco leaf itself. It is upbeat, clean, and versatile enough to wear from the office to the golf course.

The Profile: This is a "green" tobacco scent that defies expectations. The star of the show is the cured tobacco leaf and flower, which provides a rich, herbal aroma. We blended this with top notes of bay leaf and fir to create an intoxicating, crisp finish. It’s clean, masculine, and our second most popular scent for a reason.
