Pintail - Drake Series - 5oz Shave Soap

Pintail – Tallow Shave Soap (Braford 2.1 Base)

Pintail is the second release in the Drake Collection, a seasonal line inspired by the natural atmosphere of the Southern marsh in late fall. Built as an oriental grassy floral, Pintail was designed to capture the scent of cool brackish air moving through tall marsh grass, soft florals carried on the breeze, and the smooth warmth that settles in as the season begins to turn.

The fragrance opens fresh and airy with light bergamot, sage, and cardamom before unfolding into a green floral heart of fig, vetiver, lily of the valley, and soft pepper. As it settles into faint amber, tobacco, tonka bean, and oud create a smooth, balanced finish with warmth, depth, and softness rather than heaviness.

Pintail was intentionally designed to feel refined, natural, and atmospheric. Green without smelling sharp. Floral without becoming powdery. Warm without feeling overly sweet or dark.

It stays close to the skin and develops slowly throughout the shave, creating a calm, clean scent profile that feels equally at home in cool weather, open marsh air, and everyday wear.

This is in my Braford 2.1 base, an elite, luxury shave soap built the way it’s supposed to be built. Triple-fat loaded, with tallow, duck fat, and lanolin. Backed with a double raw butter stack. Heavy on tallow, on purpose. This isn’t some light, airy, whipped nonsense… this is dense, rich, and built to give you a completely different experience.

About the Drake Line:
The Drake line is about real places and real experience, early mornings, wet ground, wood lines, open water, but it’s not about trying to smell like dirt and trees. It’s about taking that lifestyle and turning it into something clean, smooth, and damn good to wear.

Braford 2.1 – Triple Fat Performance Base

This is our flagship.

Braford 2.1 is an advanced luxury shave soap engineered around dense lather, razor glide, skin comfort, and long-term shaving performance. The foundation of the base is locally sourced, grass-fed beef tallow, chosen for its ability to create a rich, stable lather with excellent cushion, slickness, and durability throughout the shave. Grass-fed tallow is also naturally higher in oleic acid than many conventional beef tallows, helping contribute to improved skin feel and residual glide.

The formula is reinforced with duck fat, a premium shaving fat valued for its high oleic acid content and smooth post-shave feel. In shave soap, duck fat helps add glide, flexibility, and conditioning while maintaining the dense, stable lather structure Braford 2.1 was designed around. Lanolin works alongside the tallow and duck fat to help improve post-shave comfort and reduce dryness after the shave without leaving behind a heavy or greasy finish.

Shea butter, mango butter, aloe vera, coconut milk, and castor oil all contribute to the creaminess, hydration, stability, and overall feel of the lather itself. Braford 2.1 also uses a deliberately engineered post-cook conditioning system, where ingredients such as jojoba oil, glycerin, lanolin, tussah silk, and other finishing additions are incorporated after saponification to improve residual slickness, glide, and post-shave comfort.

The result is a heavier, highly hydrated luxury lather built to stay stable under water while delivering a smooth, protective, and refined shaving experience from the first pass to the last.
