Adamastor Shaving Soap

Rhubarb, Melon, Sea Salt, Cut Grass, Damp Earth, Vetiver

Adamastor is a mythology-inspired character who comes to life in the epic “The Lusiads” to represent the difficulties faced by the first Portuguese navigators attempting to circumnavigate Africa. The fragrance embodies this indomitable spirit and pays homage to the enduring power of nature and the indomitable courage of explorers.

Adamastor has a strong oceanic intensity as the salty note dominates the earthy, green and sweet undertones.

The fragrance opens with slightly sweet and green notes of Rhubarb and Melon. Their freshness reflects the crisp air when approaching the sea.

The Sea Salt is there throughout the experience. A reminder of the ocean stretching to the horizon. Damp Earth and Cut Grass emerge in the dry down, reminding of the landscapes around the coast. Vetiver anchors the composition like a backbone and gives an impression of strength and depth.

Adamastor is a story about courage, discovery and the eternal dance of man and nature. Whether you wear it as a tribute to the pioneers of modern history or as a companion to your own journeys, this fragrance will transport you to a place where the vastness of the sea meets the embrace of the land - an ode to the enduring spirit of the human heart.

The Nirvana Soap Base

The Nirvana soap base is nothing but a natural evolution of Westman's original soap base and what we learned from the old formula. The modifications result in greater rentability, improved lather consistency, slickness, as well as a comfortable, skin-loving post-shave feel.

Changes include new ingredients such as broccoli seed oil instead of apricot kernel oil for better absorption by the skin. The inclusion of dimethicone due to its excellent lubricating properties. In addition, the simplification of the formula, which contains fewer saponified fats, allows us to increase the concentration of the really important fats such as kokum butter and mango butter to obtain a denser and shinier lather. Other key ingredients include tallow, lanolin, jojoba oil, avocado oil and many more.

Experience a superlative shave.

Recommended Use

Swirl a damp shaving brush on the dry surface of the soap in circular motions from 30 seconds (if using stiff brush) to 60 seconds (if using a soft brush). Aim to create a thick paste on the tips of the brush. A little pressure is good. It may be helpful to add a few drops of water to the surface of the soap halfway through.

Take the loaded brush and start "painting" the soap paste onto the area that you want to shave. To begin lathering, add a few drops of water on the tips of the brush and apply to the area in a circular motion. Repeat this process - add water/swirl - as many times as desired to achieve your prefered lather consistency.

When you are finished shaving, rinse the excess suds from the surface of the soap and allow it to dry. After a few hours, you can close the lid and store the soap in a cool, dark and dry place.
