Atlas Shaves II - Day 24

Brush: Wild West Brushworks Blue & Black 26mm BOSS Synthentic Knot
Razor: RazoRock SLOC
Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [11]
Lather: Razorock - For Chicago - Soap
Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Almond Leather - Splash

Image

While I don’t have Don Marco, I do have a sample of Razorock’s For Chicago, which is a dupe of Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme. The lather was on par for an Italian croap, and the SLOC made for an enjoyable shave.

Day 24 of Atlas Shaves 2 – Electric Boogaloo Mon 24 Feb 2025

Brush: Zenith Kintsugi 505CB SE

Blade: Kismet Rostfrei, Polymer beschichtet
Lather: Razorock – Blue Label
Post Shave: Brut – Oceans
Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Fleur de France

Razorock’s Don Marco with bergamot and neroli notes must be the easiest pick for AS2EB to date, so I’m not expecting any dropouts today (except for possibly myself, see below).

This tub of Razorock soap is one of my earliest wetshaving purchases and it’s practically full because I almost immediately moved on to artisan soaps. It’s a nice fresh aquatic, no hardship using it every once in a while.

Side note:

I’m Schrödinger’s djundjila right now, in that I’m not sure whether I’m still in the competition or not. Yesterday’s SOTD of mine was called into question by u/Priusaurus because he doesn’t agree that Gemütlichkeit and Coastal are made by the same artisan, a statement that would have been entirely uncontroversial three and a half weeks ago. Now, u/Priusaurus holds the opinion that “artisan” in the rules does actually not refer to artisans, but to brands. I think this is patently absurd and made even more absurd by his suggestion to downgrade my match to a just the same scenter. If the scenter is a match, and the scenter and the artisan are one and the same person, Ron, then it surely follows from his suggestion to count scenter points, that the artisan points count as well, since again, they are one and the same person.

So I will not downgrade my points to a scenter match, and if I’m in the wrong here, I’m sure @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social and u/crossan1983 will let me know, confirming u/Priusaurus’s consensus and I’ll take my DQ. If you’re wondering why I’m leaving out pridetwo, it’s because of this

Have to agree with DJ. In this case if the scenter is considered to be the same, the artisan has to as well. Either that or interpret artisan as brand, in which case anything not branded stubble buster can only be used for scent notes

Not in this contest, but this sounds very weird: so if the chosen soap would be something of the now-defunct Oleo Soapworks, you can’t use anything under Chicago Grooming Co. despite Vida being the artisan behind both names, just re-branded? Same with Scott and L&L/Declaration Grooming? IMHO, that sounds like BS to me. The rules don’t seem to mention the same brand name.

  I agree with your reading of the rules

Oh, I missed another juicy debate it sounds like.

For this year, at least, I thought we were allowing the “person” as the “artisan” based on the LASSCO theme on one of the first days.

I don’t know what the statute of limitations is for challenging a status quo.
