Cherry Pipe sounds interesting. Comments on the soap?
In addition to the mullet, and yellow Corvette, you forgot the sleeveless undershirt [ I won’t use the politically incorrect name ].

Whipped out the Futur. With it’s early 90’s aesthetic, I just assume these are used by guys with mullets and yellow Corvette’s. It shaves really well, I’ll give it that. I cranked it up to 3.5 today.

As you may know, Central Texas Soaps is out of the shaving game. I bought them a while back because they accepted cryptocurrency and I had several hundred dollars of “profit” to blow “at the time”.
It’s solid soap and it was cheaper than Stirling I think. Vegan, though. A bit on the voluminous side, but still creamy. On their website they advertised it as a “thirsty” soap which I appreciate hearing from an artisan.
The scent is pretty basic and nothing to write home about. I have “Down at the River” from them also, and it’s a nice fresh scent.

The scent sounded interesting; a cherry pipe tobacco fragrance. Elysian Soap Shop has a scent called Cherie Tobacco that has cherries and tobacco on the label. [ However, chérie means “dear” as applied to a woman as in ma chérie ].

Or a yellow Opel Manta leaving a trail of Pitralon on the Rhineland Autobahn.
