If nothing else, AS2 is causing me to pull out some scents that don’t get used often. Talbot’s Author’s Ridge is better than I remembered.

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.

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.

Talbot Governor’s Island

[ ] Cyclamen
[x] Lemon
[ ] Grapefruit
[x] Ylang-Ylang
[x] Oakmoss
[x] Musk
[x] Tonka Bean
[x] Sandalwood
[ ] Amber
[x] Bergamot
[ ] Cardamom
[x] Jasmine
[ ] Lily of the Valley

Brut

[ ] Lavender
[ ] Anise
[x] Bergamot
[ ] Basil
[ ] Orange Blossom
[x] Lemon
[x] Ylang-Ylang
[ ] Geranium
[x] Jasmine
[ ] Coumarin
[x] Musk
[x] Sandalwood
[x] Oakmoss
[x] Tonka Bean
[ ] Vanilla
[ ] Vetiver
[ ] Patchouli.

They have 8 of the 14 scent notes in common, I get two points.

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

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
[ ] Grapefruit
[ ] Ylang-Ylang
[x] Oakmoss
[x] Musk
[x] Tonka Bean
[x] Sandalwood
[x] Amber
[x] Bergamot
[ ] Cardamom
[x] Jasmine
[ ] Lily of the Valley

Tabac

[ ] Lavender
[ ] Neroli
[x] Lemon
[x] Bergamot
[ ] Carnation
[x] Sandalwood
[ ] Pine Tree
[ ] Rose
[x] Jasmine
[ ] Orris Root
[ ] Tobacco
[x] Musk
[x] Oakmoss
[x] Amber
[x] Tonka Bean
[ ] Vanilla

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

Monday, February 03, 2025: Atlas Shaves 2 - Day 3

Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations “Nebulagance” - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic

Razor: GEM - Micromatic Flying Wing

Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (7)

Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Shave Stick

Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Aftershave splash

Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm

Fragrance: Stirling - Haverford EdT

Tabac saves me from an airbud today, although I might have a sample of Mediterranean Man around here somewhere that would have worked.

Always a fuss-free shave with Tabac, and the scent is just so pleasant. A great start to my day.

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

Total points (8 previous + 4): 12
