Gotham x Wholly Kaw x Pasteur – “Daybreakers”
Limited Edition Shaving Soap & Aftershave Splash
Bold as the Dawn. Sharp as a Blade.
New York City in the 1850s wasn’t just chaotic on land — it was treacherous on the water. The Daybreak Boys, a ruthless gang of teenage river pirates, ruled the East River in the pre-dawn hours. Under the cover of fog, they silently rowed to anchored ships, raided their cargo, and vanished into the shadows — leaving behind broken crates, bloodied decks, and the birth of a legend.
Led by infamous figures like Slobbery Jim and Cow-legged Sam, the Daybreakers’ initiation reportedly required murder. Their fearsome reputation was no myth: they were blamed for over 30 deaths and countless thefts, embodying the raw, lawless spirit of a city forged in grit and survival.
This limited-edition grooming set pays homage to that untamed legacy. Crafted in collaboration with Wholly Kaw, the Daybreakers shaving soap delivers an elite, ultra-slick lather for a precise, comfortable shave. The matching aftershave splash hits with intensity—reviving your skin like a chill breeze off the East River.
Scent Profile:
Bright yet mysterious, fresh with an edge. The invigorating top notes of Yuzu blend effortlessly with Cucumber and Basil for a crisp, herbal start. A heart of Black Tea adds warmth and depth, while a smooth base of Amber and Vanilla leaves a lingering, sensual finish. It's a fragrance that awakens the senses and leaves a bold impression—perfect for those who move with quiet force.
