🍎 Braeburn 🍎
- Brush: Zenith 506U N (50/50 horse mane/tail)
- Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur Unnumbered 8/8" ( hollow ground, stainless steel, round point)
- Lather: Barrister and Mann Braeburn
- Aftershave: Summer Break Soaps Teacher’s Pet
- Fragrance: Imaginary Authors Saint Julep Image
Braeburn is my most recent software addition, and it’s a nice apple scent similar to teacher’s pet. I enjoyed how omnibus gets long with this 50/50 mane/tail horse brush: The coarse bristles pick up soap easily without making a froth, and the combination of a soft backbone and clipped bristles is a pleasant lever of scritch. Great lather, and great scent. Possibly 2024 Austere August material.
The big razor is silky smooth. Three wonderful passes.
Saint Julep has a similar sweet gourmand feel to it, even without the apple.

Glad you liked Braeburn. I just got my full tub the other day after finishing off the sample. I may copy your software setup this weekend.

Did you also only get the soap? I’m looking for nice post shave ideas to pair with it, but can only come up with Rhapsody, Pomona, and Teacher’s Pet. Not very creative 😅
sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social 4 months ago
Yep, just the soap. For post shave I figured Teacher’s Pet is already pretty close to it anyway. For other options, maybe Alive, Bixby, or Opulence?

mhm, Opulence? I’ll wouldn’t have thought of that anytime soon. I’ll give it a try.
I don’t have the other two.
