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

  • Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Manchurian
  • Razor: Puma 88 (5/8", round tip, carbon steel, hollow ground)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

I did do my first SOTD with Woesteling, a Brut dupe which shares 8 of the 14 scent notes (or one more than necessary) with today's theme soap, but in the meanwhile, I have pointed out a rules violation which was punished with downvotes for reasons that probably put me in the vicinity of violating rule 1, but gives me one more point. So let's do this again, but this time with Tabac:

Talbot Governor's Island

  • [ ] Cyclamen
  • [x] Lemon

  • [x] Oakmoss
  • [x] Musk
  • [x] Tonka Bean
  • [x] Sandalwood
  • [x] Amber
  • [x] Bergamot
  • [ ] Cardamom

They have 8 of the 14 scent notes in common, I get two points, plus the snitching, plus cross-posting, plus interaction.
