snooting

I was on the fence whether to take the point, but I did "successfully [identify] an error in another sub members SOTD." :)

Man, you're crushing it with the daily theme matches.

Interesting looking badger brush there! 😄

I get it.

And yeah, unscented soap is no way to live life IMO.

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.

Does this mean you're out, or taking your Airbud today?

Do you have a source for this?

Another option for something more durable, but still affordable, would be a vintage Gillette razor.

The tech or super speed can be found for pretty cheap on auction sites like eBay. They shave great, are made out of brass, and are very durable.

• Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
• Razor: GEM - Micromatic Clog-Pruf
• Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (6)
• Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Retreat
• Post Shave: Declaration Grooming - After the Rain Aftershave splash
• Post Shave: Ginger's Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
• Fragrance: Chanel - Égoïste EdT

On theme today with a smush of Catie's Bubbles Retreat (shares vetiver, sandalwood, and citrus notes -- 3/5 of Vetiver Moderne). Still in for now.

It is a very mild and pleasant scent that I found quite relaxing. It also gave an excellent lather.

Off to do all the chores today...

Airbud for me today, so I went with the full DFTR trick for the first time. Its boozy, figgy, woody, green fragrance was a great start to the day. I'm glad I brought this in after DJ piqued my curiosity. Great stuff.

~~Airbud retracted, I'll be back tonight with an on-theme shave.~~

Alright, I'll play it straight. Airbud today.

If you do replace it, some loctite on the threads would be worthwhile
