Ranking the best Duke Cannon products is trickier than it looks, because the brand's catalog is a mix of permanent workhorses, licensed collabs and limited editions that vanish by season. Duke Cannon Supply Co. makes premium men's grooming goods with a voice from "a simpler time" — but under the jokes, some products are clearly the ones to buy first.
We sorted the current lineup by actual job: daily shower, scent, face, beard and restock logistics. These are the best Duke Cannon products right now, and who each one is really for.
1. THICK Body Wash 30 oz.: the daily driver
If one product defines modern Duke Cannon, it is THICK. The premise is printed right in the pitch: most men's body wash is "weak, watered down, and smells about as appealing as a junior high locker room," so THICK is formulated with significantly higher viscosity for a moisturizing lather that works more effectively and "doesn't spill pitifully down the drain like traditional shower gel."
The 30 oz. size in Midnight Swim or Sawtooth is the value play for daily use — a big bottle of the brand's two signature scents. Midnight Swim runs smooth and refreshing with notes of sandalwood and lavender (per the Cannon Balm bundle description); Sawtooth is the woodsy counterpart. Start here if you are new to the brand. Grab the 30 oz. THICK at Duke Cannon.
2. Big Ass Brick of Soap: the icon
The bar that built the brand. The Big Ass Brick of Soap is the large-format flagship, and the current catalog shows its range: the best-selling Midnight Swim and Sawtooth scents anchor a Costco-exclusive 4-pack, while limited editions keep the format fresh.
Two limited bricks stand out right now. The Jeep Trail Rated brick carries a bracing mountain pine scent and the full off-road backstory ("forget the map — sometimes the best road is the one less traveled"). And the seasonal Basic Ass Pumpkin Spice Latte brick is made with pumpkin pulp to gently exfoliate, available while supplies last each fall. If the bar format is your thing beyond body soap, see our picks for the best shampoo bars too.
3. Solid Cologne Sticks: scent that travels
The Solid Cologne Stick line — Seawolf, Palomino, Midway and Sawtooth — is the best pound-for-pound buy in the fragrance range. Duke Cannon describes it as a long-lasting eau de parfum formulated with lightweight skin conditioners and a high level of fragrance, designed for maximum portability and "a great-smelling luxury experience at a wildly affordable price."
A solid stick lives in a gym bag, desk drawer or carry-on without spilling, which makes this the format to try multiple scents cheaply before committing to a bottle. That try-before-you-marry approach is exactly the strategy in our guide to finding a signature scent through samples.
4. Proper Cologne Travel Ration - Midway: the subtle one
For liquid fragrance, the Proper Cologne Travel Ration in Midway is the smart entry point. It is made with clean, naturally derived fragrance oils, crafted in small batches, and pitched as "a subtle scent enhancer to be discovered, not announced" — the Midway scent evoking a cool Pacific breeze through palm trees.
The pocket-friendly Travel Ration format means you are not gambling a full bottle on an unsniffed scent, and the whole line is built around Duke Cannon's favorite enemy: the mall kiosk and its perfume spritzers.
5. The Big Face Bundle: skincare without the shelf
Duke Cannon's face care answer is one box: the Big Face Bundle, with the Daily Hydrating Face Wash (8 oz.), Ultralight Face Lotion (3 oz.) and Cannon Balm Tactical Lip Protectant. The framing is pure Duke Cannon — built for the guy whose "fishing outing has surpassed the 10-hour mark" or who is wrangling a runaway cow in 20 mph winds — but the contents are a legitimate three-step routine: cleanse, moisturize, protect.
For men who will never assemble a skincare shelf product by product, a single bundle that covers the whole face is the correct format. It sits comfortably next to the no-nonsense picks in our non-toxic skincare and grooming guide.
6. Dad's Liquor Cabinet: the beard-and-bourbon set
The best bundle for beard owners is Dad's Liquor Cabinet: Big American Bourbon Soap, THICK Body Wash in Bourbon Oak Barrel, Big Bourbon Beard Wash and Big Bourbon Beard Oil, all sharing a woodsy oak barrel scent. Duke Cannon notes all scents are "100 proof" and asks you to "please groom responsibly."
Because the four products share one scent family, nothing clashes — a small detail that makes this the rare grooming set that works as a system rather than a grab bag.
7. The Supply Drop: restocking on autopilot
Once you know your scents, the Supply Drop subscription is the logistics answer: a quarterly box shipping free with over $75 in Duke Cannon goods "and whatever else we feel like sending," priced — in the brand's words — below "a one-night stay in the Econo Lodge off I-70 in Topeka." The Q3 2026 drop (August 1 to October 31) includes the Palomino Antiperspirant Deodorant and a Sawtooth Everlasting Puck of Soap.
This is the buy for the converted: the man who already burns through a brick a month and wants the restock handled. See what's in the current Supply Drop.
How to build your Duke Cannon order
The efficient first order: a 30 oz. THICK Body Wash in Midnight Swim, a Big Ass Brick of Soap in Sawtooth to compare formats, and one Solid Cologne Stick to test a scent. From there, branch by need — the Big Face Bundle for skin, Dad's Liquor Cabinet for beards, the Supply Drop once you know what you will reorder anyway. Timing note: limited editions like the Jeep Trail Rated line, the Thermos bundles and the pumpkin spice brick rotate out, so if one is in stock and appeals, do not sit on it.

Best Duke Cannon products FAQ
What is the best Duke Cannon product overall?
For daily use, the 30 oz. THICK Body Wash in Midnight Swim or Sawtooth — the high-viscosity formula is the brand's core functional claim and the big bottle is the practical format. The Big Ass Brick of Soap is the classic alternative if you prefer bar soap.
Which Duke Cannon scent should I start with?
Midnight Swim and Sawtooth are the brand's best-selling scents — Midnight Swim with sandalwood and lavender notes, Sawtooth on the woodsy side. The Solid Cologne Sticks are the cheapest way to trial scents like Palomino, Midway and Seawolf before buying bigger formats.
Are the Jeep and Thermos products permanent?
No — both are limited editions. The Jeep Trail Rated soap and body wash and the Thermos tumbler-and-brick bundles are available while they last, and several Thermos bundles are already marked almost gone or sold out.
