Cathedral (Ultima) Shaving Soap
some places hold more than history—they hold whispers. In my travels, i've visited some of the most iconic spiritual sanctuaries. the scent of centuries-old wood, polished stone, and the faint echo of prayers lingering. the sunlit dust swirling through Italian cathedrals, thick with incense and grace. This scent is my tribute to those sacred spaces.

Customer Reviews
1. Lo, I opened the vessel, and a cloud of sacred scent did rise upon my sink like incense before the altar.
2. My brush did tremble, anointed with richness beyond understandingfrankincense, myrrh, and echoes of old stone.
3. I lathered, yea, I lathered in reverence and fear, for the slickness was as oil poured down Aarons beard.
4. My blade passed as the Spirit through waters: clean, pure, without weeping or rash.
5. And I saw my face, and it was good. And I declared unto the mirror, Blessed be this soap.
Amen and lather.
Cathedral scent is 10/10, slickness is 10/10, lather is 10/10 post shave feel is 10/10. Just a whole lot of 10/10. Excellent daily driver.
Look, I bought this soap thinking it would make me smell like a respectable gentleman. What I didnt expect was to emerge from my bathroom like a freshly anointed monk who moonlights as a lumberjack in a Roman basilica.
From the moment I cracked open the lid, I was hit with a scent so holy, I briefly forgot my own name and started answering to Brother Benedict. The blood orange whispered sweet citrus secrets, the frankincense and myrrh had me texting my priest, and the oud and sandalwood kicked in like a Gregorian chant for my nostrils.
I shaved with this stuff and my bathroom filled with what I can only describe as Vatican vape. I swear the walls started glowing. My dog started levitating. A distant church bell rang despite there being no churches nearby. I finished my shave and a choir of invisible monks harmonized in F minor.
And lets talk about the lather. Rich. Creamy. Luxurious. Like washing your face with whipped holiness churned by the Pope himself while riding a unicorn through a mahogany forest.
Ten minutes after shaving, my neighbor knocked on the door just to tell me her house felt blessed.
Bottom line: This soap doesnt just clean your face. It cleanses your soul. Buy it, use it, and prepare to smell like the archangel of good decisions and sandalwood.
Love this base and the scent is a banger. Received this at meet & greet at Goodfellas. Couldn't wait to get the full container.
This is the one. It somehow captures the scale of a great cathedral with the scent of time. Its a mix of young, modern & beauty with an old antique shop vibe. I dont know how else to describe it. I should have ChatGPT write this. Somehow its fresh and old, like old books, damp stone walls, incense & muskiness with old woods & some hidden florals. Something like that.
