  -> 1-pass WTG head shave to get back into the swing of things. I know I say this a lot, so you better take it with a grain of salt…

  Anyways, this was a very relaxed shave with a very smooth and slick lather - mutton tallow bases seem to be universally loved and thanks to this soap, I understand why. The scent is a bit too sweet and powdery, so I use it rarely. But the lather is always cream of the crop. Of course it wasn’t close at all, but good enough for WTG.

  I’m currently a very stressful time for my mental health. I notice I fall back into depressive thought patterns and all the stress also takes a toll on my body (reflux and other gastrointestinal disorders). My only day off after 5 early shifts was spent running errands and catching appointments, so not much rest. Problem is, now it’s another 3 early shifts starting tomorrow and they want us to get in even earlier… sometimes I hate my job, but then again I need to focus on the positive aspects harder. It’s just very hard atm.

  Atlas Shaves II - Day 17

  • Brush: Farvour Turn Craft Harvest Moon 27mm Lotus Manchurian (LM-1) Badger Knot
  • Razor: Blackland Razors Blackbird Ti
  • Blade: Gillette Platinum [19]
  • Lather: Highland Springs Soap Company/Australian Private Reserve - Eclipse - Soap
  • Post Shave: Highland Springs Soap Company/Australian Private Reserve - Eclipse - Splash

  Maybe LatherBot needs to be rebooted because it has a suspicious obsession with obscure soap makers. Today’s selection, Sandalwood Ten by Soap Smooth had an abundance of uncommonly combined scent notes: sandalwood, vanilla, amyris, musk, rosewood, petitgrain, cedar, ylang-ylang, bergamot.

  This one had me worried until stumbling across Eclipse with APR’s impressive scent-catalog-as-fragrance: rum, cocoa, cistus, russian leather, bergamot, pink peppercorn, fig, musk, sandalwood, cedar, carnation, benzoin, amyris, mimosa, oud, narcissus, tobacco, lavender, civet.

  • Brush: Chisel & Hound “Spice Lily” - TurnNShave Tuxedo 26mm synthetic
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Titanium Legacy Razor
  • Blade: Bolzano - Superinox (8)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
  • Fragrance: Stirling - Stirling Gentleman EdT

  Back to the GTB kill with a quick and easy early (for me) morning shave. The Bolzano blade does really well in this razor, I may have to pick up more of these.

  First day at the new job and with my new commute after working from home for the last ~5 years or so. It will be a bit of an adjustment, but I’m mostly looking forward to it.

  Have a great day y’all!

  What is it with LatherBot and Soap Smooth? I hadn’t even heard of that soaper before AS2EB and today is the second time it came up when it counted, and with a 9-note scent to boot: Sandalwood Ten by Soap Smooth, notes: sandalwood, vanilla, amyris, musk, rosewood, petitgrain, cedar, ylang-ylang, bergamot.

  Luckily both Texaus and Eclipse are scent note matches, so I live another day:

  Eclipse notes: rum, cocoa, cistus, russian leather, bergamot, pink peppercorn, fig, musk, sandalwood, cedar, carnation, benzoin, amyris, mimosa, oud, narcissus, tobacco, lavender, civet.

  Another republican day, another plant I knew nothing about. It’s this one, if you are interested. If you’re not interested, it it still this one.

  In shave-related news, I got back my kamisori from Boris de Rivière on Saturday, sharpened it yesterday, and tried it out today in the morning. I didn’t pay enough attention when honing (I thought the issue was that I didn’t get close enough on the toe on the other side; doh!), but the toe slightly points into one direction, and can leave a trace in the strop. Also, I feel it on one side when shaving, so I guess the razor will have to go back on the stones before I use it again. I didn’t measure it before I sent it away, but I assume there has been quite considerable shortening going on.

  Have a good day!
