Rex Supply Co. Old World Tallow Shaving Soap is a love letter to the traditional soaps men have used for centuries. Before becoming preoccupied with man buns and vegan ingredients, soap made from animal fat provided clean comfortable hydration to men. The same men whose daily sacrifice built unprecedented economic growth in the 50’s and lead to a Golden Age of American Manufacturing we still celebrate today.
Honest, hard-working men that were too busy providing for their country and families to debate about the characteristics of masculinity.. they just were.
Get ready to take a totally rad trip back to the 1980s with Rex Supply Co.'s Old World Tallow Soap, 1988! Made in the USA, this jar is more than just soap—it's a backstage pass to the decade of big hair, power suits, and cologne that was as bold as the beats blasting from your boombox.
With a bodacious blend of Amber, White Musk, Bergamot, Tobacco, Cedar, and Oud, this soap’s fragrance is like a mixtape of killer 80s vibes. Channeling iconic colognes like Obsession by Calvin Klein, Polo by Ralph Lauren, and Drakkar Noir, 1988 smells so good, you’ll swear you’ve got the "eye of the tiger" and a fast car "revvin' like a DeLorean."
"Don't stop believin'"—this soap’s creamy lather isn’t just gnarly on your skin, it’s totally boss. Whether you're cranking out tunes on your Walkman or getting pumped for a night of roller skating, 1988 will have you "smelling like a dream" and "living on a prayer."
So, pop your collar, grab your Wayfarers, and lather up with 1988. It’s the soap that screams, "I want my MTV!"
