Ghost Town Barber - Handmade Luxury Shaving Soap from Chiseled Face Groomatorium

Lathers really well. Smells good. What more do you want in a shave soap. Tallow based - NB all you vegetarians! But a good, slick shaving soap. Worth it.

Chiseled face has hands down the best shaving soap on the market. All scents.

With a name like Ghost Town Barber and the great masculine smell of this shaving soap, I find myself squinting like Clint Eastwood in the barbershop scene from “High Plains Drifter” and balefully staring myself down in the mirror each morning as I spread the lather on my face. Seriously, it’s good stuff. The scent ticks off the usual boxes of a clean “barbershop” fragrance, but then adds some leather and a bit of smokiness to the mix just to make it interesting. The soap is pretty soft, so it loads easily into a damp shaving brush without having to first add water to the soap container for it to “bloom.” Once the brush is loaded, it takes less than 20 seconds of swirling in a bowl or mug for it to explode into enough thick, creamy, manly-smelling goodness for 3 passes with the razor and the much sought-after BBS (i.e. Baby’s Butt Smooth) shave. I’m thoroughly impressed with this shaving soap, and look forward to trying some of the other scents from Chiseled Face.

I cannot say this is the best shave soap I have ever used, but it easily produces a profuse, slick, protective lather. The only negative is that I find the Ghost Town Barber scent to be OK, but not great. It is a unique barbershop scent with some hints of leather and tobacco smoke. I would not purchase this particular scent again, but I would not hesitate to purchase other Chiseled Face soap scents. I understand the Sherlock smells like pipe tobacco, so I might try that one of these days. Update: I did purchase the Sherlock, but it does not smell anything like pipe tobacco. To me the Sherlock scent is more like grass clippings.

I'm still using the same puck from when I first ordered it. I shave every day, with the exception of weekends, being in the military. It's been great shave soap no matter the environment. Water type definitely affects the lather, but that's standard for all. Highly recommend and I'll be buying another!

Use the shaving soap to shave today. Great lather with a light fragrance that is very pleasant.If you use a shaving soap you have to give this a try.

I would buy this product again in a heartbeat, but not this particular fragrance. The lather is superb. It builds up fast on the brush and the protection is outstanding. I moved my soap from the provided container to my own cup, as I do with all my shave soaps. The consistency is soft, somewhere between a paste and a cake. I didn't have to heat it to transfer it. The consistency is a little tacky, so it took some tamping and wiping to get it in there and smooth it out.I have to confess I'm not a fan of this fragrance. The description makes it sound rugged and manly, but to me it smells like somebody's grandma who slipped out back for a smoke. It's alright, and I'll gladly use it up, but I'll try something else next time.

kind of a weird smell, but I got used to it....performed well
