Ghost Town Barber - Handmade Luxury Shaving Soap from Chiseled Face Groomatorium

This is one of the best shaving soaps you can buy. I had the Sherlock soap before this, but prefer the scent of this one. Either way it's a great shave with Chiseled Face soaps. I'm even considering getting the new bar soap he offers because I like this Ghost Town scent so much. It is my favorite scent across all the soaps/aftershaves I've tried. Here's a ranking of the soaps/scents from Chiseled face I've tried and my basic explanation of what they smell like since I'm not the best smeller in the world. 1. Ghost Town Barber - Nice, clean, old timey man smell. What I imagine a sophisticated rich man in the 1800's smelled like. 2. Sherlock - Nice and softly spicy with a hint of leather. Sherlock was the perfect name for this, smells like I imagine the Queen's library would. 3. Trade Winds - I would want my beach house to smell like this, if I had one.. Kind of smells like hospital soap, but much much nicer. 4. Cedar & Spice - Smells like you dipped your face in spice and then toppled a cedar tree with your chin. Very strong smell while shaving, but mostly disappeared before I got to work - 30mins. 5. Midnight Stag - It might just be me, but this scent is powerful. It's not for the buck with small antlers, this is for the alpha stag. If Ghost Town Barber is a sophisticated rich man from the 1800's, this scent is the 1800's woodsman who spent years away from civilization fighting bears. Pure manly man smell. Theodore Roosevelt probably smelled like this. All in all, I would buy any of those soaps. The last 2 are more situational for me because I like softer scents, but they're still great smelling and amazing performance soaps.

With a name like Ghost Town Barber and the great masculine smell of this shaving soap, I find myself squinting like Clint Eastwood in the barbershop scene from “High Plains Drifter” and balefully staring myself down in the mirror each morning as I spread the lather on my face. Seriously, it’s good stuff. The scent ticks off the usual boxes of a clean “barbershop” fragrance, but then adds some leather and a bit of smokiness to the mix just to make it interesting. The soap is pretty soft, so it loads easily into a damp shaving brush without having to first add water to the soap container for it to “bloom.” Once the brush is loaded, it takes less than 20 seconds of swirling in a bowl or mug for it to explode into enough thick, creamy, manly-smelling goodness for 3 passes with the razor and the much sought-after BBS (i.e. Baby’s Butt Smooth) shave. I’m thoroughly impressed with this shaving soap, and look forward to trying some of the other scents from Chiseled Face.

Works great, smells even better, great shave!

Solid product. Foams up quickly with a rich foam. Good value, good product.

Very well done in the formulation! I have used several shaving soaps before. Usually they are too thin for my liking and it feels as though I'm shaving without shaving soap. This brand delivers with the right consistency of tallow for me! I will use them EXCLUSIVELY from now on. Not only is it a great formulation but they also hit home with the smells, I love ghost town barber and summer storm. Summer storm smells like "that moment before it rains" if you know you know

Great soap, smells like old leather and almost a cigarette smell. The soap itself is good quality and perfect for a shave, lathers great. It's excellent

Really like the thick lather slick and smells great

Excellent shaving soap. Probably the best brand I've purchased so far. Paired with a boar brush, this lathers up great. Scent is exactly what you'd expect it to smell like based off of the description.
