I'm getting into a routine here, but I really like this combination of hard- and software.

Have a good evening!

Monday, February 10, 2025: Altas Shaves 2 - Day 10

  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
  • Razor: Eldrormr Industries - MM24
  • Blade: Accuforge - GEM Microcoat (2)
  • Lather: Dove - Sensitive Skin
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
  • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two EdT

Dove Sensitive Skin is fragrance-free and was an acceptable choice for today to keep me on theme. I got the same result that I get with my nicer soaps, but the shaving experience was significantly worse. One could get by just using something like this to shave, but I'm glad I don't need to.

+2 points for soap with at least half the same scent notes
+1 point for cross-posting
+1 point for engaging yesterday

Total points (40 previous + 4): 44

  • Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
  • Blade: Personna Twin Pivot Plus Refills, Atra (2)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Promises - Soap
  • Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

This soap is stronger than I remember it. I left it open in the bathroom and could smell it in the other room!

[-] snooting@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 1 day ago

Does this mean you're out, or taking your Airbud today?

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 3 points 1 day ago

I think I'm out. I think I decided there should be a consensus to stay in, and there wasn't. Mostly I didn't want to use my unscented soap!

[-] snooting@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 1 day ago

I get it.

And yeah, unscented soap is no way to live life IMO.

  • lather: Barrister and Mann - Latha Unscented

Atlas daily points: 2 points for scent notes +1 for crossposting on lemmy and reddit

Atlas cumulative points: 40

Unscented alcohol splash seems odd to me. People being careful about avoiding frags on their skin, but using alcohol must be a small customer group

[-] pridetwo@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 1 day ago

It's actually not alcohol based, latha was a weird era for Will

Oh, interesting!
