Tallow + Steel

Another beautiful graphic Ryan, totally knocked it out of the park! I can wait to try it!
At those prices it makes sense to put it in t 3oz container, but that also just means the next Japanese release will have to come all that much sooner.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it.

Would love to see you do a fougere scent!!

That is a good idea!

Will you announce pricing ahead of time or only at release?

Sure!

Shave Soap: $40 CAD / $30 USD
Aftershave: $35 CAD / $26 USD
Collection: $70 CAD / $52.50 USD
(Same price as Kyoto)

So looking forward to this, as you know

Hey Ryan, that beautiful.  I thought it would be hard to match/top the artwork on Kyoto but there it is. 

That really is lovely artwork.

Cheers Sean! Appreciate the support.

Well thank you Mike! The advantage of doing all of our label design in-house, is that we can make as many versions as we want and tweak forever until it is exactly how we want it.

I spent a week in Virginia one summer - it is a very beautiful state!

Introducing the highly anticipated sequel to Kyoto, our most popular 2018 scent.

Nestled in the Pacific Ocean, on the southern tip of Japan there exists a true hidden gem; an Island renowned for its montane temperate rainforest, lush with ancient cedar trees: Yakushima. 

Yakushima Island exhibits a rich biodiversity, including a primeval forest composed of old growth Japanese cedar trees known as yakusugi (屋久杉), which are over 1,000 years old – the oldest dating back to the Jōmon period 2300 years ago. The buried remains of these trees, which stay free of decay even after hundreds of years, are distilled – creating the rarest cedarwood essential oil in the world. This essential oil was the foundation in creating Yakushima. 

Yakushima’s scent is composed of five natural oils, hand-delivered to us from Japan:

63% Yuzu – an exotic Japanese fruit hailed for its uniquely bright, aromatic, sweetness. Yaukushima uses a blend of three different yuzu oils: two steam distilled essential oils, and one solvent extracted absolute.

13% Yakusugi (Yakushima Cedarwood) – distilled from the buried remains of thousand- year-old yakusugi trees.

11% Kuromoji (Spice Bush) - distilled from the aromatic leaves of this traditional Japanese shrub which grows wild throughout the country.  

9% Sansho (Japanese Pepper Leaf) - a fragrant sweet/floral oil distilled from leaves of the Japanese pepper tree. 

4% Koyamaki (Japanese Umbrella Pine) - a rare conifer endemic to Japan. 

Due to the very high cost of these ingredients, to offer Yakushima at a reasonable price, the shave soap is 3 oz / 85 g and the aftershave is 3 fl oz / 88 mL.

Vibrant fresh citrus with a lustrous aged wood drydown make Yakushima a very nature-inspired blend, in similar style to one of our originals, Rainforest.

I've not tried any of your products so I'm super excited to give this one a whirl.

Looks like I missed out whilst I was napping from being sleep deprived due to long hours this week. I am glad you guys got some and hope the soap brings you all many good shaves.
