Lucky Number 54 Shave Soap

$24.00

"Gentlemen- start your engines.”

This is your Grandfather's shave soap!

Experience the aroma of cedarwood and oak moss, elevated by gentle tones of white musk and amber. A touch of bergamot and citrus adds a refreshing twist to this opulent blend.

This soap is reformulated by Blackbird Farm and Apothecary

For best results, lather directly in the tub. This shave soap is a harder soap compared to others, but don't let that fool you. A shave brush and some hot water will reward you with a nice lather.

When I was much younger, maybe 8 or 9 years old, my grandfather used to show us movies on his old 8 mm film projector.

He’d dim the lights and this tiny projector would come to life. The one movie that still sticks in my mind was a film about a car race. It featured a bright red modified 1938 Chevy Coup with a ‘55 Corvette engine with the number 54 painted in white on the side of the body. I watched the car make a few laps around at the Brooklyn Speedway in Winnipeg and then cross the finish line. The movie ended with the driver holding the checkered flag and making a victory lap.

It turns out that my grandfather raced this car and for whatever reason this car and the number 54 have always stuck in my mind.

Lucky Number 54 pays homage to my grandfather and the simpler times of wet shaving.

About the Artisan

Matthew and Tammy moved to Leduc County in 2016 and started Blackbird Farm & Apothecary in the fall of 2018. Tammy's education and experience as a nurse was the driving force behind their personal care products and the very beginning of this adventure. Wanting to have safe, effective products to use on a daily basis was really important and lead to the testing and development of their personal care product line.

Matthew's education in Forestry has always drawn and grounded him in nature. His work experience in the cabinet industry has honed his skills and love of creative design and working with his hands. This creativity is the foundation from which stems the custom woodworking and laser engraving- another key component of their business.

Together as a team they love to spend their time together working on all sorts of projects. From working in the garden, growing garlic, veggies and holistic plants. To being in the shop making shaving brushes to complement their shaving soaps. The products they make are all things they love to use themselves and share with family and friends.

It's like getting a winning shave in the pit before the race

I was initially pulled in by this soap because of the vintage race car back story, but knowing that the soap was made by Blackbird sealed the deal for me. I have had great experiences with their soaps in the past.

So how did it perform?! Extremely well. Excellent, coverage/protection excellent lubrication and easy to rinse off the blade in between passes.

And that scent! Oh boy! It's one of a kind. In 2 words, vintage, classic. I know this might be stretching it, but it brings me to the race track; summer dirt, gasoline, pop, heated metal, hay, leather.

In short, it totally worked.
