This is a small release intended for Canadian customers who aren't able to buy directly from The Shave Supply in California. If you are not in Canada you must order directly from there!

Black Rock is heavily inspired by my trips to Vancouver Island throughout my lifetime. All the little scents tucked away in the fragrance help tell that story. The name Black Rock comes from the Volcanic rock that can be found across the Vancouver Island Coastline. I would visit Vancouver Island each year to spend time with my Grandmother who used to live in the city of Nanaimo. Nanaimo itself is a waterfront town with one of the main Ferry ports on the island, and I wanted to capture a bit of that salty sea air which is present in this soap. It's hard to ignore the beauty of Vancouver Island. It's heavily wooded with a healthy logging industry, endless trails, and hiking destinations. Not to mention, lots of rain! And with that, we've added some cedar, evergreen, driftwood, and wet forest floor to help capture this incredible terrain.

When I got a little older, every visit I had with my grandmother we would always stop at her favorite countryside pub in a rural town right outside of Nanaimo. This pub sits on acres of land, surrounded by trees, a beautiful garden, and a little pond which several swans call home. In the garden just outside the stained glass window of the pub, there are dozens of Rose bushes and a Rhododendron shrub with massive Pink flowers. Rhododendrons seem to be everywhere around BC Canada, but it was on this property right near those giant pink fragrant flowers that I would eventually marry my wife. Without even knowing this story, Sean had suggested we add this scent. It was a perfect fit. I truly hope you enjoy the journey.

MacDuff’s Shave Soap – Built for the Blade, Designed for the Skin

This isn’t your granddad’s shave puck—unless he was a backcountry chemist with a taste for quality.

Each MacDuff shave soap is poured small-batch in Edmonton and packed with a blend that does more than just lather—it cares for your skin while you carve through stubble.

Why This Shave Soap Works (And Why You’ll Care):

• Tallow & Stearic Acid — The old-school backbone for a dense, stable lather that gives your razor the glide it deserves.
• Four Butters – Shea, cocoa, kokum, mango, plus a superfat boost of shea—rich moisture that softens hair, protects skin, and leaves zero tightness behind.
• Superfat Oils – Rice bran, jojoba, and pumpkin seed oils nourish the skin beneath the lather, keeping your face smooth long after the shave.
• Castor Oil & Glycerin — Add volume and slickness to your lather, so your razor works smarter, not harder.
• Goat Milk — Gentle exfoliation and natural softness—keeps skin calm while you clear away whiskers.
• Silk Protein — Gives a polished, soft feel post-shave—skin feels fresh, never stripped.
• Tremella Mushroom Extract — Nature’s hyaluronic acid. This snow mushroom holds up to 500 times its weight in water, pulling moisture in and locking it down so your skin stays plump and calm long after the blade’s done its work.
• Aloe Vera & Sodium Lactate – Keep hydration in and irritation out.

The result? A shave soap that loads fast, lathers big, and leaves your face feeling better than it found it. No clay, no shortcuts—just straight-up performance.

Handmade in Edmonton, Alberta—always small batch, always crafted with care. The best natural shaving soap for those who want performance without compromise.

Each low-profile jar holds 120 grams of skin-first shave soap, easy to stack and built for the counter.

[tab name="HOW TO USE"]

This is a soft soap — best for bowl or face lathering. Do not bloom! Tub lathering can pick up too much product.

Scoop out a small, dime-sized amount (adjust as you like) and smash into a bowl--then with a damp brush and work it into a paste. Slowly add a few drops of water at a time while building your lather in the bowl. Aim for a dense, yogurt-like texture.

If you see large bubbles, you’ve added water too quickly. Keep working the brush — the bubbles will settle into a smooth, creamy lather.
