Westman Shaving Soap - Monolith

Monolith is a mysterious composition of coniferous wood, resins, spices, and delicate floral nuances. The fragrance is dark and atmospheric, yet remains unusually transparent and elegant.

A sharp accent of ginger opens the composition. Elemi brings a fresh, almost citrusy resinousness, before the warm heart of fir balsam and frankincense unfolds. The aromatic character evokes a dense coniferous forest, threaded with spicy smoke and soft light.

Dry Virginia cedarwood gives the fragrance structure and depth. Osmanthus adds delicate notes of apricot and leather, while cool jasmine creates a surprising floral contrast. A precisely balanced accord of white musk finally envelops the composition like a weightless veil.

Monolith is no classic forest fragrance. It is otherworldly, calm, and fascinating – like the echo of something that existed long before us.

The vegan HALO soap base combines kokum and mango butters with cocoa, castor oil, avocado, cupuaçu, broccoli seed oil, jojoba, and shea butter. Glycerin, sodium lactate, and vitamin E complement the rich formulation.

When lathered, it creates a particularly dense and creamy lather with high lubricity and reliable protection. The rich consistency supports controlled blade guidance and leaves the skin feeling pleasantly cared for after shaving.

APPLICATION

Load a damp shaving brush onto the dry soap surface for about 30 to 60 seconds using circular motions. The goal is a strong soap paste in the brush tips.

Apply the loaded soap to the 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 let the soap dry open for a few hours. Then close and store in a cool, dark, and dry place.
