    🍏 Apples, Apples Everywhere! 🍎

    • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Green & Ivory 24mm Synthetic 2-Band Synthentic Knot
    • Razor: Karve Shaving Co. Overlander
    • Blade: Gillette Nacet [4]
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Braeburn - Soap
    • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Teacher’s Pet - Aftershave
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Alive - Eau de Parfum

    Apple notes are tough to do right without coming across as sickly gourmand or like Grandma’s potpourri dish. All three of these scents do Apple really well.

    The sample of Braeburn was unassuming and nearly invisible until I started lathering. Suddenly a burst of bright, green apple came out of nowhere and punched me right in the face. Maybe it’s the sage that helped to dial the apple up to ten.

    Teacher’s Pet (R.I.P.) is very similar (even if toned down) to Braeburn. If you are missing Teacher’s Pet, Braeburn might be an adequate substitute.

    Alive incorporates an apple note without dwelling on it. It still remains a favorite HoM scent.

    Rating: 4.5/5

      I’ve had my eyes on Braeburn for a while, and I’m a sucker for teacher’s pet. This

      If you are missing Teacher’s Pet, Braeburn might be an adequate substitute.

      is promising.
