Thursday, February 13, 2025: Atlas Shaves 2 - Day 13

  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Stardust" - TurnNShave 26mm shoat
  • Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing - 921-M
  • Blade: Gillette - Perma-Sharp (1)
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - After the Rain
  • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming - After the Rain Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Ginger's Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
  • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Aromatique EdT

Easy lather with the DG bison base, though after almost a week of GEM shaves I felt like I had to work harder with the 921-M. Great results in the end though.

I can tell I will get along well with this shoat knot. It's still a little poky and needs breaking in, but it already felt great.
