Strike Gold Shave is the passion project of Frank Misa, a retired police officer and firefighter who began professionally honing straight razors in 2007 and later expanded into a full line of shave soaps, aftershaves, and eaux de parfum. The fragrance catalog blends original compositions with scents inspired by popular—and often discontinued—men’s colognes. Production has included in-house batches as well as contract manufacturing by Jennifer Marting (Mason Boutique/Decadent Bubbles) and later Monica Gillam of Van Yulay.

Soap base
Patriot · Tallow
The Patriot base blends premium ingredients to deliver a high-performance, structured lather. Goat’s milk amplifies density and creaminess; castor oil, glycerin, and tussah silk elevate both primary and residual slickness; while kokum and shea butters soothe the skin and support lasting hydration. The result is a quality modern artisan soap with good cushion and density, high slickness, and ample stability.
