Notes: Tomato Leaf, Arugula, Herb Blend, Moss, Cyclamen, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Burnt Maple

The Herbalist is a celebration of all things herbal, encapsulating the fresh, green vitality of a summer garden. This summer blend opens with the distinctive notes of green tomato leaf and arugula with a touch of peppermint and cyclamen. The heart of the fragrance reveals a rich blend of green herbs which includes anise, eucalyptus, tea tree, fennel, sage, bay leaf, rosemary and basil, each contributing to a complex and invigorating aroma that remains in the background, providing an ambiance rather than a distinct note.

As the scent evolves, the base notes reveal a grounding warmth thanks to vetiver, cedar wood and sandalwood. The finish is enriched with a very subtle sweetness thanks to tonka bean and burnt maple.

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.
