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.
Or a yellow Opel Manta leaving a trail of Pitralon on the Rhineland Autobahn.
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 ].
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.
🍎Braeburn Barbershop💈
@djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social and I were recently trying to figure out which scents would pair well Braeburn, and it seems that barbershops pair really well, specifically Barrbarr.
Rating: 4.5/5
Another gorgeous brush! You have a great collection.
Thank you. 😊 I lucked into this one from a raffle.
Lather buddies🍻
I also found a good combo for it today!
Travel shave, taking Djunior to his grandparents over the long weekend. I haven’t used a Tech in what feels like forever, and I enjoyed the reminder of how good they are. This particular one has no date code and would qualify for the #REGUS scavenger hunt tag, but we axed that one this year. Oh well. The small Silver tip Fibre brush is not a favourite of mine (small, tendency to fling lather around), but it’s quite the little lather monster.
Braeburn++;
I’m really happy I ended up buying this soap, such a simple pleasure. Pitralon it’s a great match with its volatile pear note.
Nice combo. That’s one I’ll have to try too.

One pass head and neck shave. Slowly getting around to try out more of my new soaps…
Boca Negra is very pleasant. I think Peter actually took customer feedback to heart and didn’t add too much fragrance here. I personally don’t know how much of an upgrade the K2e base is compared to Kaizen 1/2, feels pretty minor since the other bases were already good too. The scent is very coffee and spice forward, so it pairs well with Moon’s Old School. The Thorn continues to impress, now it’s a tad milder since I got a few turkish barber blades for it. Glad to now have another modern SE razor in my arsenal that feels as good as the vintage razors.
Originally I wanted to take some vacation time to have next week off… But unfortunately, due to a staff shortage I need to work for two days, starting tomorrow. To make matters worse, it’s the early shift. Well, FML. But somebody’s got to do it.

Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation. Image

So good. Some days I get more tobacco out of it, and I love it even more those days. Yesterday was one of them.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
A really great late-day shave. I enjoy the woodsy/tobacco scent of Ace. This is a very nice fragrance that makes me want to sit outside with a bourbon and a cigar.
Enjoy your weekend!
