It has been a while since the Cadre has seen any new stuff from CBL Soap but that is about to change. For almost a year now I have been playing some new ideas, not all have turned out the way I wanted/expected but I am happy to say a couple have worked out very well.
We have a return of some favorite scents, Roasted Oatmeal Stout, Dragon's Pub, Hammam Spa, CBL Barbershop and a brand new scent Heritage Path. These are all available as shavign soap and aftersahve tonic. We also have a brand new product to enjoy. CBL Premium Barber Powder, a talc free post shave powder.
Here is how i describe my new barber pwoder on my website...(it's pretty good stuff)
Performance & Care
The soaps are all made using beef tallow I rendered myself (combination of locally raised grass fed beef and wagyu beef from arizona and texas)!
Roasted Oatmeal stout and Dragon's Pub are made using a modified original premium tallow base and REAL stout beer. The Dragon's Pub is sold as a 3.8oz portion hot poured into a CBL custom bamboo bowl. The ROS is a 4 ounce portion hot poured into a 9oz plastic tub.
CBL Barbershop and Hammam Spa are made using our original CBL premium tallow base, hot poured into a plastic tub.
Heritage Path is made with a modified premium tallow base that includes a TON on Lanolin. This is another attempt to replicate or closely duplciate the "fairway" scent once made by St Charles Shave Soap. I am happy to say the scent has a very similar vibe and feel but sadly it is NOT an exact match. here is how i describe it on my website.
The Experience A tribute to traditional apothecary craft, Heritage Path balances the ruggedness of the pasture with the exotic refinement of a coastal estate. This deeply green profile is defined by the rare scent of Maile Leaf—bringing a sweet, woody spiciness that captures the essence of a rain-drenched valley. It is a scent of sophisticated realism: opening with the "snapped-stem" crispness of crushed herbs and settling into a creamy, resinous base that mirrors the natural richness of wool fat. A truly powerful aromatic green scent with a sophisticated and long lasting dry down.
The Fragrance Architecture
On last thing...prices. It is no surprise to anyone here on the forum but the cost of materials has increased significantly over the years. I have done my best to mitigate these costs (buy in bulk, render my own etc) but i am at a point I have to increase the price a little. I think you will find the prices are VERY fair and certainly competative but I still feel bad about the increase. SHIPPING is just short of highway robbery and its about to get worse as the postal service implements a "temporary" 8% sure charge. For now, I will continue to offer $7 flat rate shipping, free shipping for orders with aftershave tonic and for orders over $85.

CBL Premium Barber Powder
Cool | Soothe | Restore
A refined return to the golden age of grooming. This premium barber powder is designed to provide a silk-like finish while actively calming the skin after a shave or haircut. The fragrance is a sophisticated, masculine Fougère—opening with a bold presence of Oakmoss Absolute that gracefully gives way to a brighter heart of Italian Bergamot, French Lavender and earthy Patchouli. It is rounded out by the smoky warmth of Guaiac Wood and the creamy, vanilla-like sweetness of Tonka Bean Butter for a finish that is both clean and deeply comforting.Performance & Care
- Arrowroot & Kaolin Clay: Provides superior moisture absorption and a non-greasy, "velvet-touch" glide.
- White Willow Bark & Allantoin: A powerhouse duo that reduces redness, tightens pores, and promotes skin recovery.
- Magnesium Stearate: Ensures a consistent, clump-free flow for a professional application every time.
- Aromatic Profile: A sophisticated, masculine Fougère that opens with a bold, inky presence of Oakmoss Absolute. This deep foundation quickly gives way to a brighter heart of Italian Bergamot, French Lavender and earthy Patchouli, eventually settling into a warm, resinous finish of Guaiac Wood and Tonka Bean Butter.
- 100% Talc-Free

Heritage Path
Aromatic Pacific Greenery | Resinous & Rooted | Botanical RealismThe Experience A tribute to traditional apothecary craft, Heritage Path balances the ruggedness of the pasture with the exotic refinement of a coastal estate.

The Fragrance Architecture
- Top Notes: The immediate "snap" of dandelion stems, bitter green leaf, and the watery clarity of market-fresh bibb lettuce.
- Heart Notes: A lush, humid center of Maile Leaf, Hawaiian ginger lily, and plumeria, softened by the herbal-cleanliness of lavender and bamboo.
- Base Notes: An earthy, resinous foundation of carrot root and mystic leaf, anchored by a soft, "lanolin-skin" musk for a lingering, velvet-smooth finish.
