06.02.2025 - Shave before night shift

  • Brush: RazoRock Beehive 28 mm
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: Perma-Sharp half DE
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber
  • Post-Shave: OAM witch hazel & cucumber toner; moisturizer

-> 1 pass head shave before my night shift. That's why I'm posting late. I actually forgot to log one shave with exactly the same setup...

Nights can be wicked hard, folks. I'm off to sleep now...

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Great shave with a vintage razor and a traditional soap scent.

Such a good sandalwood.

[-] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 4 days ago

If you have this one and Barrister and Mann Sandalwood, you have a lot of this scent's ground covered. Often, this time of year, I prefer the darker, woodier, Sandalwood, but I really enjoyed this setup for this shave.

[-] sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 4 days ago

Yep, I had a sample of B+M Sandalwood, and I'm still kicking myself for not getting the rerelease when I had the chance.

[-] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 4 days ago

I bought my full tub on the re-release. Hopefully, it will come around again.

It's quite good!

Feb 6, 2025 - Atlas Shaves II - Day 6

  • Brush: Farvour Turn Craft Eye of Jupiter 27mm Motherlode Synthentic Knot
  • Razor: Blutt Rasur BR-1 0.99
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet [17]
  • Lather: The Sudsy Soapery/Chatillon Lux - Delor de Treget - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Barrbarr - Splash

Today I'm using The Sudsy Soapery's collaboration with Chatillon Lux, Delor de Treget. This is another soap that was buried in my den, but it is a pretty great scent. Barrbarr paired really well with it, and I think I would use this combo again.

Boom!

You're the first one I've seen today that has the actual soap. Very well played. 🫑

[-] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 5 points 5 days ago

Oh damn! You had the actual soap! Well played, your den is impressively deep!

  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers – "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Personna 74 (13)

How fortuitous that the r/ws sub-exclusive soap, "Seaforth! Leather", arrived yesterday, and today's theme soap was scented by Shawn Maher, same as Leather.

Leather definitely smells "90's" to me, but not in a "90's mall frag" sort of way. Instead it's a "90's childhood memory" type of scent. It puts me in an oddly specific place. I picture waiting in the hallway for a table at the Chinese restaurant we'd go to on special occasions. It was in a building with a shared hallway, and the building just had sort of a "smell" to it. Maybe it was some aspect of the Asian cuisine being cooked nearby? Anyway, that's what I get. It's not for everyone, but I like sort of funky unique scents, and this one is a win in my book.

I'm still surprised sometimes how certain scents can take you right back to a specific place at a moment in time.

I like sort of funky unique scents

Shawn does funky unique scents well.

Thursday, February 06, 2025: Atlas Shaves 2 - Day 6

  • Brush: Grizzly Bay - Chisel & Hound v24 Fanchurian badger
  • Razor: Gillette - Slim Adjustable (L4, 1966)
  • Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (3)
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Leather
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Leather Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Ginger's Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Leather EdT

I was going to shave with SSL today, but Leather was delivered in time. Everything is super balanced in the soap and splash, but the EdT is much more coriander forward to my nose (from the start, at least). An excellent pickup, no ragerts.

Tomorrow's Atlas Shaves Theme: Mike's Natural Soaps - Lavendin & Eucalyptus
Notes: Lavandin, Eucalyptus

Day 06 of Atlas Shaves 2 – Electric Boogaloo Thu 06 Feb 2025

  • Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm Γ— 57 mm boar)
  • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 2 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: The Sudsy Soapery – Spearmint and Eucalyptus
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux / Declaration Grooming – Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli
  • Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts and Chatillon Lux – La ForΓͺt de Analingus for Excellence in Shitposting

Another rare soap from a rare soaper, but luckily I have the artisan who made today's theme soap, so I'm finally up for the four artisan points again, yay! Luckily for everyone else, the soap is scented by Shawn Maher, so it's almost impossible not to have something that fits for the scenter points. All my software today is scented my Shawn under his Chatillon Lux brand.

I'm not a frequent enough user of Sudsy Soapery's to have the base dialled in, but the slightly foamy lather I got was perfectly serviceable and the big Dovo is a joy to use.

I've used Sudsy Soapery's base a handful of times, and I always struggle with it too.
