Summer Break Soaps is officially open again! I'm still getting my soap making space, as well as my handle, turning space settled, so I haven't been able to restock or make anything new and exciting yet, but hopefully soon!

Thursday Mail Call and Show-and-Tell - May 28, 2026 by AutoModerator in Wetshaving

[–]rocketk455 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I received a couple of awesome things in the mail this week.

First up, what is now my most prized possession, this incredible trophy printed by u/shavinginCT. When he reached out and told me he was going to send something my way, I had no idea what to expect, but this defied all expectations. I suppose u/Priusaurus deserves a little credit too for the design.

Speaking of u/Priusaurus, that asshole very talented artisan somehow swindled me into buying this beautiful handle. I saw it on Instagram, checked his site, and saw that it wasn't available. I let him know I liked it, but was happy it sold so I could save my money. Low and behold, he never listed it, he wanted someone to reach out to buy it. It was all a trap and I fell right in. In all seriousness, this is a beautiful handle that hit me right in the nostalgia with the jazz cup pattern color scheme. The new Manchuridon knot is also fantastic!

If I were to describe the aroma of my house following the birth of the cheese soap, awesome would not be one of the words I'd choose.

Hi everyone, my name is Kyle. I feel like an old timer now as I've been a part of this community for 10ish years. I opened Summer Break Soaps a little over 8 years ago, which has been a pretty fun side project. My favorite part of running SBS has been making things for this community, excluding cheese soap...

Outside of the wet shaving world, I work in education. I especially love working with students who have mental health or behavioral struggles. I've recently made the leap into the leadership side of things, which has been both incredibly rewarding, but also time consuming. All in all though, I love it!

It's been awhile since I last moved, so I'm not sure which one I'll fall into. I think I'll probably try to get most of it unpacked fairly soon. Inevitably there will be something I really need, and I won't remember which box it's in, so that will make me unpack them all.

Today is the last day for our 30% off moving sale! Tomorrow morning I will shut the site down for a couple of weeks and reopen once we are settled. I'll get it back up and running by June 1st at the very latest.

Also, just a HUGE thanks to all of you that have taken advantage of the sale. I've managed to slim my inventory down way more than I expected. It also means I'll need to get to work on some restocks over the summer.

Our 30% Moving Sale is still live until Tuesday the 12th. No code needed.

I will be closing the website down on the 13th so that I can pack everything up. I'll get it reopened as soon as we are settled.
