Day 03 of Atlas Shaves 2 – Electric Boogaloo Mon 03 Feb 2025

  • Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Manchurian
  • Razor: Puma 88 (5/8", round tip, carbon steel, hollow ground)
  • Lather: Boendoebaard – Woesteling
  • Post Shave: Brut – Original
  • Fragrance: Brut – Original

Atlas Shaves is really heating up with an artisan rarely used on this sub and a whopping 14 scent notes. I'm curious to see how many air buds will get burned today. Luckily for the a good portion of the community, The One True Stank® has then covered and lets them live and fight another day.

Today isn't Tuesday, though, so I'm going in a different direction: Woesteling is a dupe of Brut. They are clear in their copy that "this specific fragrance [Brut] is very popular around the globe, and we hope it will gain a respectable following in our formats; the sheep tallow base [etc]", so I'm using the scent notes of Brut as published by fragrantica.

Love the precision of your personal tally. Is that Puma new? If not, I must have missed it due to my inattentive behavior of late.

Thanks!

No, it's the same Puma we've discussed previously. I'm still looking for a good condition 6/8 high class

The Puma 89s I have (nominally 6/8) are very nice. The extra bling of the High Class will, of course, make the razor perform better. I'm still looking.

The extra bling of the High Class will, of course, make the razor perform better.

Precisely 😄
