In the old legends of the Chinese Zodiac, Hǔ nián—the mighty, protective Tiger of the Year—was said to roam the borders between the mortal world and the realm of storms. One night, as a traveler crossed a mountain pass, a furious thunderhead split open above him, hurling a lightning bolt straight toward his heart. With a roar that shook the clouds themselves, Hǔ nián leapt from the shadows and slashed the sky, cleaving the bolt in two with a single luminous claw. The man lived, but the Tiger’s talon was forever changed, glowing a brilliant, breathtaking shade of red. Hǔ nián loved the color so deeply that he wished to share it with humankind, and so he gifted the world the Madder Plant—its roots holding the very hue of his transformed claw. For five thousand years, people have used that color with joy, never knowing its origin came from a guardian Tiger who once split lightning to save a life.

Dark, deep, and unapologetically bold, Year of the Tiger opens with a striking green-cannabis freshness layered with aromatic spice and saffron warmth. As it develops, resins, tobacco, and coffee bring richness and shadowy depth, while subtle florals and fruit nuances add complexity. The base settles into oud, incense, amber, and woods, leaving a smoky, resinous finish that feels powerful, mysterious, and long-lasting.

Shave Soap Directions & Tips
Shave Soap Directions & Tips
Our shave soap is formulated for two things that matter most during a great shave: cushion and glide.
Cushion helps protect your skin from nicks, cuts, and irritation, while glide allows the razor to move smoothly and effortlessly across the skin.
When used with a shave brush, expect a smooth, creamy lather that helps bring out the soap’s scent profile. Without a brush, the soap will create a thinner white coating rather than a traditional lather, while still providing the same cushion and glide.
Our shave soap tubs and shave sticks use the same formulation and perform well with most water types. If you have particularly hard water and are having trouble creating a lather, try using distilled water. If the soap still does not lather properly with distilled water, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
