Day 06 of Atlas Shaves 2 – Electric Boogaloo Thu 06 Feb 2025

  • Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm Γ— 57 mm boar)
  • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 2 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: The Sudsy Soapery – Spearmint and Eucalyptus
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux / Declaration Grooming – Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli
  • Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts and Chatillon Lux – La ForΓͺt de Analingus for Excellence in Shitposting

Another rare soap from a rare soaper, but luckily I have the artisan who made today's theme soap, so I'm finally up for the four artisan points again, yay! Luckily for everyone else, the soap is scented by Shawn Maher, so it's almost impossible not to have something that fits for the scenter points. All my software today is scented my Shawn under his Chatillon Lux brand.

I'm not a frequent enough user of Sudsy Soapery's to have the base dialled in, but the slightly foamy lather I got was perfectly serviceable and the big Dovo is a joy to use.

I've used Sudsy Soapery's base a handful of times, and I always struggle with it too.

The Bible verses on the tubs didn't work, it seems πŸ˜
