I enjoyed this setup so much yesterday, I decided to use it again today. The only change I made was the brush.

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
