Dude of Oud – Braford 2.1 Triple Fat Shave Soap.

Dude of Oud -  The name comes from my buddy Westley “The Dude of Oud” Carrol.

Dude of Oud is a dark, smoky fragrance built around Cambodian and Indonesian Oud notes, chosen for their balance of deep resinous warmth, aged wood character, soft smoke, and earthy incense depth.

Dry cedarwood, spice, incense, patchouli, and dark woods lead into a rich oud base layered with amber, sandalwood, musk, and soft vanilla for a bold, smooth dry down with lasting depth and character.

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.
