• Brush: L'Occitane Plisson Synthetic
• Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
• Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (9)
• Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Down By The River - Soap
• Post Shave: Old Spice - Hawkridge - Aftershave
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - EdP

Central Texas Soaps is no longer around. I double checked to see if maybe they kept making bar soap to sell locally (they used to sell stuff at farmer's markets and the like), but their website is gone, Insta profile gone, and Facebook gone.

The price tag on this tub says $12.75 for 5oz. of soap. I originally gave the brand a try because they accepted cryptocurrency, and at the time I was a crypto hundred-aire, so it was an easy splurge. I liked the soap so much, I bought a second tub.

This scent is marketed as a dirty river type of smell, but it's really fresh and bright, with a natural freshness to it that I really enjoy.

Challenge: Today I shaved with a Black Land double edge holder, and a Bolzano razor. I've used this blade 9 times so far. How many shaves do razors last for? I'm thinking of getting a new tub of soap. I see some brands with some really cool labels that I think I'll get. I don't know anything about the companies or people who make the soap, but the cartoons and scantily clad women on the lid are pretty dope.
