Brush: Chisel & Hound Gulf Short 26mm V22 Fanchurian
Razor: Koraat 6/8" Full Hollow
Lather: Elysian Soap Shop - Olympus - Soap
Aftershave: Elysian Soap Shop - Olympus - Aftershave
Fragrance: Elysian Soap Shop - Olympus - Eau de Parfum
Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

Olympus is one of those fragrances that provides a light, airy, feeling that rides over a warm base that has a touch of spice. Very well blended. Although I'm posting late, this was a great way to start my day.

I like that brush handle. That little pipe detail is wonderful

That whole C&H x Briar Brushworks drop was so good

Atlas Shaves II - Day 13

Brush: Trotter Handcrafts Souls 26mm Manchurian T1 Badger Knot

This might be the most ubiquitous selection by LatherBot yet, but I'm not complaining because getting points for using Y/R/P is always a good thing.

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.

+4 points for soap from the same artisan
+1 point for cross-posting
+1 point for engaging yesterday

Total points (59 previous + 6): 65

YRP! Second soap match of these Atlas Shaves for me, and a favourite of mine for warmer weather. Today is a rainy winter day in the Lake Geneva area, but with YRP I'll just pretend happily.
