Messed up because I didn't catch leather says west indies bay and not just bay for notes. But them's the breaks, I'll go out the same way I played the game. Good luck to Sahenders who seems to be in the strongest position to finish with his airbud intact. I'll shave along with everyone through the end of the month for funzies, but as the rules say: out is out.
Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [24]
Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Alighieri - Soap
Post Shave: House of Mammoth - 福 (Fú Dào) - Splash
Fragrance: House of Mammoth - 福 (Fú Dào) - Eau de Parfum
Today's theme soap Fitjar Islands' Slåtterøy has the following scent notes: Citrus, Chamomile, Cedar, Coriander, Bay. Unfortunately, I don't have any Fitjar Islands soaps in my den, so it came down to finding enough scent note matches.
I finally settled on the Dior Fahrenheit for Men dupe Stirling's Alighieri with 3 of 5 scent note matches: leather, cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, musk, amber, nutmeg, tonka bean, citrus, lavender, chamomile, and florals.
Day 25 of Atlas Shaves 2 – Electric Boogaloo Tue 25 Feb 2025
Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with a 26 mm unbleached Zenith boar knot at 56 mm loft
Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
Lather: Fitjar Islands – Slåtterøy
Post Shave: Old Spice – Original
Fragrance: Imaginary Authors – Sundrunk
I'm back from a near DQ experience for the second time, and with a rare match to boot. Again, it's preparation for Lather Games 2021 saving my butt, because I bought this sample for it.
Bay rums aren't really my thing. I associate their smell with something sickly sweet, like a summer garden where some of the ripe fruit have fallen to the ground and insects swarm the rips where sweet warm fruit mush oozes out. Otherwise a fine shave with the big Frio14, and Sundrunk fixed the scentscape for me by adding the freshest of fresh fruit.
Post Shave: Spearhead - Seaforth! Leather – Aftershave
Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
30! I don't remember if I've made it to 30 uses on a blade before, but if I have, it was a Personna 74. GEM blades last some people a long time, but I've always tossed them before then (I think).
Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper
Post Shave: Talent Soap Factory - Wallflower Aftershave splash
Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two EdT
This was a nice cheery combination of scents to start the morning. Today's my last day at work before a week and a half in Europe with my wife. Looking forward to it!
Basically just London and Paris, with a first night in Amsterdam. She’s already in the Netherlands for a work conference, so I’m meeting her there as our jumping off point.

Thanks for making the post. This time it was just me forgetting to schedule it!
djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social · 3 pts · 1y
No worries! It'll be easier when they can be planned in advance once as2eb is done

Oh cool, where in Europe?

Where are you going? Anywhere near enough to have a drink?
snooting@sub.wetshaving.social · 3 pts · 1y
Mostly just London and Paris, with one night (Thursday) in Amsterdam.
I suspect that would be a long trip for you just to have a drink with some rando. ;)

Yeah, that's a bit far😄
