  I realised that I have no idea what kind of razors you use, and I’m curious

Saturday, February 15, 2025: Atlas Shaves 2 - Day 15

Brush: Zenith/Stirling - 510SE-XL 31mm boar

Razor: RazoRock - Game Changer .76

Blade: Gillette - 7 O’Clock SharpEdge (3)

Lather: Stirling - Varen

Post Shave: Stirling - Varen Aftershave splash

Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm

Fragrance: Stirling - Oro Valley EdT

To be on theme today, I only needed soap with vetiver, and Varen definitely has vetiver. It was a lovely shave with the mutton base. The splash definitely lights my face up a bit; I’m assuming that’s just the oakmoss.

Today is likely my last day before a DQ unless I can dig up a match for tomorrow.

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

Total points (71 previous + 4): 75

Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic

Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)

Blade: Personna 74 (22)

Lather: Meissner Tremonia - Woody Almond - Soap

Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave

Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

Nice shave! I tried more water in the Meissner Tremonia and it worked just fine, but I think it works better run a bit dryer.

This blade is starting to show its age. It’s not as sharp, and while the shaves are still smooth, they aren’t up to the standard that was set between the 8th-20th shaves.

Day 15 of Atlas Shaves 2 – Electric Boogaloo Sat 15 Feb 2025

Brush: Craving Shaving - Hazy with 26 mm Tuxedo
Razor: Merkur 37c
Blade: Merkur Super Platinum
Lather: Mike’s Natural Soaps – Lime
Post Shave: Mühle – Aloe Vera
Fragrance: Catie’s Bubbles – Blugère

Here we go again, LatherBot chose a Mike’s Natural Soaps scent again, so I am once more saved by my 2021 Lather Games prep and meticulous ~~record keeping~~ smush hoarding. I don’t have LatherBot’s scent du jour, Vetiver, so I get 4 artisan points today for Mike’s Lime.

I haven’t used the little Merkur slant in forever. It makes me chuckle to think back when I was scared trying it. I gathered from my wicked edge education that this had to be the most throatcutting aggressive razor. It’s a pussy cat.

I doubt anyone will get kicked out today, anyone still in the game is very likely to own a Vetiver soap. Have a great weekend, my friends.

Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations -322- RDC 26mm Raptor Synth

Razor: Gillette 1972 Super Speed S3

Lather: Catie’s Bubbles - 322 - Soap

Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - 322 - Aftershave

Fragrance: Catie’s Bubbles - 322 Extrait

Day 15 of Atlas shaves. Today is my last official shave of Atlas Shaves, I set out to play the game using a CB soap everyday, unfortunately can not match enough of the notes of tomorrow’s theme soap. Today’s theme soap is Mikes Vetiver, and for me, when I think CB and Vetiver, it’s 322. This for me is the perfect soap for my last Atlas shaves. The prize for being the last shaver standing is a custom raddinosaurcreations handle, so for my last shave I used my custom RDC.
