• Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Stardust" - TurnNShave 26mm shoat
• Razor: Chiseled Face - Titanium Legacy Razor
• Blade: Bolzano - Superinox (7)
• Lather: Stirling - Haverford
• Post Shave: Stirling - Haverford Aftershave splash
• Post Shave: Ginger's Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
• Fragrance: Stirling - Haverford EdT

I don't have any Wholly Kaw and would need to do some mental gymnastics to argue that I have a soap that matches half the scent notes for today's theme. 15 days is a good run, I definitely made it further than I expected. Out is out is out though.

Best of luck to the rest of the contestants, and big thanks to @enndeegee for the super fun idea!

February 16, 2025

• Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
• Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)
• Blade: Personna 74 (23)
• Lather: Barrister & Mann - Vespers - Soap
• Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Nefertiti - Aftershave

Saxe Sunday. Vespers is great. This blade, which has been starting to feel less than sharp, felt better today. Probably a testament to Omnibus. I don't have any evidence, but I feel like since B&M soaps can hold so much water, they can also "release" a lot of water into the whiskers, making them softer. It's probably more complicated than that. Either way, great shave.

Den tour shave 2

Same gear bar soap.

Caries bubbles - la marche du rasage Aquatic fougere is probably how I'd see this soup. It has a green base with a very watery top. It's the only caties I own and is a little sample jar that I got early in my r/ days from kammander Kim in a pif or Christmas secret Santa. It gives me a bit of irritation which I always thought was the oakmoss but then varen doesn't so it must be one of the other notes.

Atlas Shaves II - Day 16

• Brush: Grizzly Bay Fireball 26mm Declaration Grooming B15 Badger Knot

• Blade: Gillette Platinum [20]
• Lather: Wholly Kaw - Vor V - Soap
• Post Shave: Wholly Kaw - Vor V - Splash
• Fragrance: Wholly Kaw - Vor V - Eau de Toilette

I went with Vor V for the Wholly Kaw artisan points--incredible scent, excellent shave.
