Tallow + Steel

Ryan @ Tallow + Steel l I just wanted to double check that the West Indies is now all in v3. Just checked the store and it has the old labels.

And a small tale on my shaving journey. I started using a straight razor a few months ago, and it's been an uphill battle. Nothing about it came easy, and soap was the hardest part. Now for whatever reason I just didn't get on with T+S and a straight. Since I'd been in the US I picked up a few other soaps to try, and admittedly had better luck. Well now that I'm getting a feel for it. I decided I'd give Kyoto a try. Right now my biggest issue is I just have very course hair, and have had an incredibly hard time being able to do the first pass with a straight. (Yes I know to use a DE for that, but of course I want to move past it.)

Well Ryan I have to say, your soap and my skin and hair just seem to get on well, because the soap seemed to genuinely soften my beard and the last couple of shaves have been the best I've had with a straight by far. I'm really happy about this, because T+S has always been my #1 soap and I didn't like it being supplanted.

Yep - all soaps are version 3 now. I was waiting until they were all switched over to do new product photos, so I guess it’s time I do that!

Thanks for the comments! It’s cool that you are getting some nice beard softening from the soaps. I myself have never used a straight razor but I’m glad to hear it’s going well for you. I’ve been wetshaving since 2008 but only ever with a DE!

Glad we get to remain your #1. Cheers

We getting close on yakushima?

Yakushima will be a few weeks away yet, after our collab with Top of the Chain which will go on sale in the coming days.

Lots of lemon and a little bit of spice! Essential oils of lemon, cardamom, caraway and allspice.

It’s a sweet, almost candied lemon that is blended with the spices to make more of a warm lemon scent. Nothing crazy complex, just something nice and fun for summer.

Sounds awesome. Two great companies.

Carmine is a great guy! We have remained friends since we first started doing business together when he launched his store. It's awesome to finally collaborate.

A whole lot of lemon, and a little bit of spice!

Here we go! Summer is in full swing, and it has been a hot one for most of Canada. Two of your favourite Canadian wetshaving companies have teamed up provide you with the perfect hot weather scent: LemonSpice, a limited edition shave soap and aftershave by Tallow + Steel x Top of the Chain.

LemonSpice features our favourite lemon essential oil, which smells of very sweet, candied lemons. We blended it with a trio of nature’s finest spice oils from the far east, creating a warm, lightly-spiced citrus-candy scent. 

Lemonspice will keep your face fresh, even on the hottest of days.

Available now!

Got some.  Looking forward to trying it out.
