    December 24th, 2025: BVWSC - Christmas Eve at the Pub

    • Brush: Yaqi “Mysterious Space” - 2-band 24mm Badger
    • Razor: Blackland Sabre
    • Blade: Accuforge GEM Microcoat (10)
    • Lather: Woolly Wash Soapery - Night at the Pub - Soap
    • Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Dranks - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
    • Fragrance: Stirling - Christmas Eve - EdT

    For today’s delayed meeting of BVWSC we’re shaving with Night at the Pub from Woolly Wash Soapery – an artisan out of Australia. Over the summer I helped organize a group buy from this artisan after they happened to wander into a weekly Deals/New Products thread on Reddit. It was a lot of work but totally worth it, I very much enjoy the few tubs I ended up with.

    This soap in particular is perfect for this time of year: spicy, a little sweet, and super slick. It’s a really nice sheep tallow base that gives me a great shave. The scent reminds me of the Pfeffernüsse cookies my wife and I make every holiday season. Spicy and delicious.

    Have a nice Christmas Eve!

      I really enjoyed this soap base. It’s hard to beat sheep tallow. And while there are others with similar top-tier bases, I love supporting the little guy. If they are around next summer, I’m in for a group buy. I’m sure I’ll need more soap by then 🤣

        Glad you enjoyed it! You’re right that it’s all about the base with this soap.

        I think you’d really enjoy Outback from them.

      I highly approve of the fact that you’re making Pfeffernüsse with your wife. It’s a fitting description of this scent. Thanks for the sample, this is a really good soap!

        Baking Pfeffernüsse is one of my favorite holiday traditions. They’re so good!

        And I’m glad you enjoyed the soap, it’s a really great base!

          Baking Plätzchen (Christmas cookies in different tastes and shapes) is similar over here, I only do it with my parents - but their house is filled with this sweet, familiar smell.

          The soap is indeed very enjoyable, slickness for days! Especially great for head shaving. Woolly Wash Soapery gets the (bald) seal of approval from me 👍🏻
