Saturday, February 01, 2025: Atlas Shaves 2 - Day 1

  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Stardust" - TurnNShave Tuxedo 26mm synthetic
  • Razor: Bic Sensitive Disposable
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Rhapsody (Soft Heart base)
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Rhapsody Aftershave Balm (Soft Heart base)
  • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille EdT

A great shave with Rhapsody. It's a lovely warm-yet-bright scent that I always enjoy using. Lavanille might not be the best pairing, but it works well enough.

The Bic Sensitive performed better than I expected. It's not great and feels cheap and flimsy, but it gave me a very close shave with no irritation. Not bad for a travel option.

+2 points for soap with at least half of the same scent notes (Pear Blossom, Apple Blossom, Cherry Blossom, Vanilla, Orange, Rose, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Musk, Lavender, Lemon, Bay)
+1 point for cross-posting
+1 point for engaging yesterday
