  • Brush: Oumo Pandora 28mm
  • Razor: Leaf Elite
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue(2)
  • Lather: Banedon38's – Tobacco and Bay
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Tobacconist
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Tabaconnist

Like many others during 2020/2021 I found myself with some free time and decided to give making my own soap a go. Still make my own bath bars from time to time, but I have so much shave soap that I don't really make it all that often.

I believe the recipe I used was:

50% Stearic acid, 30% Beef Tallow, 10% Coconut Oil, 5% Lanolin, and 5% Cocoa Butter.

It works rather well and provides a good shave, though not up to the bases these days. Fragrance was something that I picked up from Nature's Garden or Bramble Berry I believe.

As far as my den goes, I have stuff stored all over the place. A bookcase dedicated to soaps/splashes/frags, with brushes on the top. Storage containers that can be hidden under the bed. Overflow under the sink, and probably more...

Save money they said...
