Wednesday, February 12, 2025: Atlas Shaves 2 - Day 12

  • Brush: Chisel & Hound "Spice Lily" - TurnNShave Tuxedo 26mm synthetic
  • Razor: GEM - MMOC (first gen, 1930-1932)
  • Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (4)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Le Grand Chypre
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Arkadia Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
  • Fragrance: Stirling - Arkadia EdT

Finally, on day 12, our robot overlord pulls a soap I can match! LGC is a great scent that is a pleasure to shave with, and BaM always gives me an excellent lather.

This was also my first shave with this knot after moving it to a new handle. I lofted it a bit lower, which feels like an improvement. I also used stainless steel washers as spacers this time. The added extra weight feels quite nice.
