As a follow up to Nantahala, Black Mountain Shaving and Murphy & McNeil are pleased to introduce the big brother scent to our line-up: Pisgah (biblical Hebrew for 'summit').

Formalized in 1916, the Pisgah National Forest is home to the tallest summits in the Eastern United States, including Mount Pisgah, the highest peak of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mount Mitchell, the highest peak of the Black Mountain range and anywhere East of the Mississippi River (6,684 feet). At the summit of Mount Mitchell, you will find a navigation compass pointing directions as you overlook the Appalachians & Blue Ridge Mountains in all of their wonder - a subtle reminder that if you can ascend one mountain, you can overcome, go, and do anything.

From the sacred Cherokee hunting valley of the Swannanoa, the birthplace of formalized art studies in the US at the former Black Mountain College, to the diverse richness of Asheville, Pisgah's 513,000 acres encompass them all. This also includes 85,000 acres donated by the Vanderbilts - the birthplace of Forestry and the US Forestry Service. At the Cradle of Forestry, the original cabins and one room school houses remain.

The scent blend developed for Pisgah is rustic and artful while remaining elite. It will allow you to feel the wood of the cabins and their creaking floorboards under your feet while luxurious enough to feel at home at the Vanderbilts' Biltmore Estate, the largest privately owned home in the US to this day. Notes of spices and herbs serve to ground and comfort like walking into one of our country general stores where provisions are acquired for the expedition. Sacred tobacco and a touch of incense protect with encouragement to continue climbing until you reach the summit. Lastly,vever so slight notes of citrus await like the sun on your face that await at the top.

We are thrilled that Pisgah will be part of your great adventure.

Using shaving soap instead of shaving cream from an aerosol can offers several environmental benefits:

Reduced Waste: Shaving soap typically comes in minimal or more sustainable packaging, often in paper or a reusable container, reducing plastic waste. In contrast, aerosol cans are more challenging to recycle and contribute to more waste.

Packaged in a reusable container, or delivered unpackaged, this product saves about .04 kg of metal and some plastic entering the waste stream.

Lower Environmental Impact in Production: The production of aerosol cans is energy-intensive and often involves the use of metals and chemicals. Shaving soap usually has a simpler manufacturing process with a lower carbon footprint.

Chemical Concerns: Aerosol cans can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals that contribute to air pollution and are potentially harmful to the environment. Shaving soap is often made with natural ingredients and fewer chemicals.

Longevity and Efficiency: Shaving soaps tend to last longer than aerosol creams, which means less frequent purchasing and lower overall consumption. This efficiency reduces the environmental impact over time.

Biodegradability: Many shaving soaps are made from natural, biodegradable ingredients that are less harmful to the environment when washed down the drain, unlike some of the synthetic chemicals found in aerosol creams.

By choosing shaving soap, individuals can reduce their environmental footprint, contributing to less waste, lower pollution, and more sustainable consumption.
