I was going to give the boar brush I boldly picked up from the PIF table from Maggards a go today after setting it last week in a handle I also picked up from there but in looking at it I don’t think it was ever broken in and possibly never actually used, which is actually a good thing. So I’m going to do that first. Instead I randomly selected a soap I picked up from said table and got… something incredibly unseasonal but also fantastic.
This was my first go with Southern Witchcraft, who is known for unique/challenging scents, and I love Autumn Ash. I find I like scents that go for evoking a place/time/thing over “smelling good.” This shouldn’t be misconstrued as Autumn Ash smelling bad but that it creates a complete scent of being out in the woods camping by a fire and truly evokes that moment to a tee instead of simply trying to evoke the scent by leaving out things that might not be everyone’s favorite. The base is slick too. I probably didn’t give it enough water, though, so going to try it out again with my next shave.
The Schick Injector is a perfectly fine shaver that you don’t have to pay any attention to but it ain’t great by any stretch of the imagination. I mostly just give it a whirl for fun every now and then. Even with a 3-pass I was more DFS than BBS.
No idea. It was in a bin with a few other brushes, no brand/label on it. I think it’s bleached because it doesn’t smell, but the tips aren’t broken at all and it’s pretty stiff so I’m assuming it’s new or rarely used.

What’s the boar?
No idea. It was in a bin with a few other brushes, no brand/label on it. I think it’s bleached because it doesn’t smell, but the tips aren’t broken at all and it’s pretty stiff so I’m assuming it’s new or rarely used.
