Westman Shaving Soap - Bastardo

Bastardo offers a modern and distinctive interpretation of the classic bay rum fragrance. Juicy orange meets aromatic bay leaf, warm spices, sweet rum, and an earthy, woody base.

Natural orange oil opens the composition with a fresh, vibrant, and juicy aroma. Subtle woody and waxy nuances add depth to the citrus note and prevent the fragrance from feeling too light or fleeting.

At the heart is the essential oil of the St. Thomas bay leaf. Its warm, spicy, and herbal character evokes clove, cinnamon, and eucalyptus. A finely balanced blend of spices and woods supports this distinctive aroma.

A sweet rum accord accompanies the fragrance throughout, introducing tobacco-like and woody facets. Vanilla provides a warm, soothing finish, while patchouli lends the composition earthy depth and longevity.

Bastardo retains the familiar character of a traditional bay rum while feeling fuller, more modern, and longer-lasting.

The NIRVANA soap base is Westman's high-performance, tallow-based premium formulation. Kokum and mango butters are combined with beef tallow, lanolin, shea butter, goat milk powder, and jojoba, avocado, castor, and broccoli seed oils.

Dimethicone enhances glide and allows for controlled blade guidance. Glycerin, sodium lactate, and vitamin E complement the rich formulation. When lathered, it produces a dense, glossy, and exceptionally smooth lather with reliable protection and a pleasantly cared-for skin feel after shaving.

APPLICATION

Load a damp shaving brush onto the dry soap surface using circular motions for about 30 to 60 seconds. Light pressure may be applied. The goal is to create a rich soap paste in the tips of the brush.

Apply the loaded soap to damp skin. Then gradually work in a few drops of water and lather using circular motions until the desired dense and creamy consistency is achieved.

After shaving, rinse excess lather from the soap surface and allow the soap to dry open for a few hours. Then close and store in a cool, dark, and dry place.
