Elysian Valhalla Shaving Soap

A tallow and shea butter shaving soap in Valhalla, Elysian's aromatic fougère of citrus, warm spice, oakmoss and tobacco. Made in small batches in Pennsylvania.

Fragrance

An aromatic fougère inspired by the hall of Norse legend: lime and lemon open onto warm spice and frankincense, finishing on amber, oakmoss and tobacco.

• Top: lime zest, lemon
• Heart: nutmeg, black pepper, ginger, cardamom, frankincense
• Base: amber, cypress, balsam, saffron, silver fir, oakmoss, tobacco

Performance

A tallow-based soap: the formula combines tallow, shea butter and mango butter, with babassu oil, aloe vera, kaolin clay, cashmere and hyaluronic acid. Tallow soaps are prized by wet shavers for dense, cushioning lather and a comfortable post-shave feel. Load the brush well and add water gradually until the lather turns glossy.
