Duke Cannon Supply Company is a good American brand.
It is a premium masculine grooming brand that promises to get you clean, smelling good, and feeling good.
The brand was founded nearly 11 years ago.
It started as a ‘direct-to-consumer brand before eventually expanding its distribution to retailers.
From research it conducted, it was deduced that the majority of men use whatever was in the bathroom, whatever the ‘significant other’ purchases.
Duke Cannon is among the few brands aiming to change that, by producing products better designed for men.
Initially starting with bar soap, Duke Cannon later expanded to offer products like hair wash, body wash, aftershave, and everything in between.
Here is a review of their first flagship: The Big Ass Brick of Soap.

Duke Cannon’s Big Ass Brick Soap
The Big Ass Brick of Soap is about 3x bigger than the average bar soap.
Dedicated to hard-working men, it forms a rich lather and gives a refreshing bathing experience.
The soap, rectangular in shape, with a ‘D’ logo embedded at one side, comes in 18 different brandings:
- Pine tar
- Midnight swim
- Gun smoke
- Bay rum
- Busch beer
- WWII-era
- Leaf and leather
- Campfire
- Unscented, and other variations of the other scents.
It does not melt away as fast as handmade soaps, but it does not last as much as glycerin soaps do
Foaming as you bathe should not pose any health concern to you such as skin rashes, dry skin, allergies, or eye irritation.
It is recommended to always check the ingredients in a product before consumption.
The Ingredients
The ingredients for each type of soap Duke Cannon offers, differs, but they have some in common.
This includes the likes of sodium tallowate, sodium palm kernelate, water, glycerin (vegetable), fragrance, sodium chloride, iron oxides, and some other compounds exclusive to each scent.
The soap is not composed of many ingredients, and it is free of parabens, sulfates, and silicones.
However, there are health concerns regarding fragrance.
Fragrance in itself, even though an ingredient, is a compound that very little is known about what is being used in its production.
And each cosmetic/personal product probably has different compositions for its fragrance.
Research published in the National Library of Medicine (here) reports that fragrance ingredients are also one of the most frequent causes of contact allergic reactions.
Some fragrance chemicals may be safe, and some may be harmful, but one cannot be certain.
Unfortunately, Duke Cannons’ soap also has fragrance in its composition, an ingredient almost every brand still uses.
Price of the Soaps
Duke Cannon bar soap has a decent price looking at the soap market.
There are bar soaps available going for the price of $23, to others as cheap as $2, and Duke Cannot is sitting between expensive and economical at $9.
It is also safe to note the big ass size of the soap, it does justice to the price.
The soap is packaged in a rectangular-shaped box with an eloquent design that might be considered ‘heavily decorated’ for a cover, though the design varies with the scent.
The big size of the soap should give you a longer run time than the average soap compared, which is appreciated by those who are not always excited to go shopping.
What Others Are Saying
The bar soaps have great reviews both on-site and on Amazon.
The soaps come with an average 4.5 stars rating over 400 plus reviews on the site and another 4-star average rating on Amazon with over 500 reviews.
However, there are also some complaints regarding the product:
- The scent doesn’t last long – it’s a soap though, not perfume
- Soap loses fragrance after a few uses
- Dry skin
- And some of the scents are not genuinely what was described on the label.
Final Words on Duke Cannon’s Soap
In conclusion, Duke Cannons’ brick of soap is one of the best premium soap bars produced to take care of a man’s bathroom needs and make sure he comes out clean and feeling good each time.
The soap has a decent price attached to it.
Because of the fragrance, health advisors would likely not recommend a such type of product due to the uncertainty of the chemicals in it.
It is also advisable to check the ingredients of a product before use, people react differently to certain chemicals.
