Rex Supply Co. | 1944 Old World Tallow Shaving Soap

SKU: 4940

Description

Bold as history. Smooth as leather. Meet 1944.

Step into the soul of a generation. A tribute to courage forged overseas and character shaped at home. Inspired by the enduring style and atmosphere of Casablanca, 1944 evokes the same sense of quiet strength and unforgettable presence—like a line spoken once, but remembered forever.

With the bold warmth of bay rum and the timeworn strength of aged leather, this cologne evokes the scent of a soldier’s duffel bag, a letter sealed with hope, and a country unified by purpose.

Bay rum is a classic scent that’s been a staple in barbershops and men’s grooming products for centuries. The fragrance is warm, spicy, and slightly sweet, with a rugged masculine edge—striking a beautiful balance between spice, freshness, and subtle sweetness. Paired with leather, it becomes even deeper, smokier, and more timeless. 

It’s the smell of freshly shined boots hitting pavement. Of ration cards in jacket pockets and jazz playing on crackling radios. Rugged, confident, and quietly heroic—1944 doesn’t follow trends. It defines legacy.

Wear it like a medal.

    The first and maybe only

    This is my favorite scent for a shave soap and I have always hated the bay rum scent until now. It’s also the first soap I’ve ever let bloom and bowl lather. I don’t feel like the lather is that amazing, I’ve used many other soaps that were better. Where this soap truly excels is the scent and the lubricant properties. The smell is so good it’s like the moment the bacon scent and fresh brewed coffee meet in the morning. It does the same thing, the smell just pops you awake in the morning. It gives that it’s going to be a great day scent. When I get up in the morning, take most of my breakfast in the form of meds, have my cup of coffee with an egg and a couple of pieces of bacon. The moment I truly look for is my shower/shave. 1944 helps start the day.

    Review more about the soap than the scent

    I have been shaving for many years, used many products, and the 1944 Rex tallow soap ia the most satisfying I have ever used. It is fun to add some water to the soap, twirl the brush and watch the bubbles get smaller and smaller until a creamy lather appears. (adding just the right amount of water to the soap/brush is the secret) Applying the lather to my face is almost sensual (ok, overhype). When shaving I have noticed two things: blades last one or two times longer than normal; and there is enough lubricant left to hit a missed area without needing to re-lather. Finally, it rinses well and leaves my face nicely conditioned. The aroma - while not classic bay run -- is very agreeable. I would love to have the same soap without fragrance so I can add my own aftershave right away instead of waiting for the scent to dissipate. This is the first soap that has made me change from my old standty, TOBS for sensitive skin. Kudos to the alchemist. The only thing better, at least for me, would be the same soap without fragrance.

    The base is wonderful. Started lathering up almost instantly for me.

    Great shaving soap!

    Same great shaving soap base from Rex Supply that we all appreciate. I wanted to try something from Rex with Bay Rum. This soap does have a more of a citrus smell than Bay Rum. Not a bad scent, but the Bay Rum is very subtle. Still, great shaving soap for a smooth shave that leaves my skin feeling great.
