- Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
- Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)
- Blade: Personna 74 (22)
- Lather: Meissner Tremonia - Woody Almond - Soap
- Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
Nice shave! I tried more water in the Meissner Tremonia and it worked just fine, but I think it works better run a bit dryer.
This blade is starting to show its age. It's not as sharp, and while the shaves are still smooth, they aren't up to the standard that was set between the 8th-20th shaves.
Saturday, February 15, 2025: Atlas Shaves 2 - Day 15
- Brush: Zenith/Stirling - 510SE-XL 31mm boar
- Razor: RazoRock - Game Changer .76
- Blade: Gillette - 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (3)
- Lather: Stirling - Varen
- Post Shave: Stirling - Varen Aftershave splash
- Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
- Fragrance: Stirling - Oro Valley EdT
To be on theme today, I only needed soap with vetiver, and Varen definitely has vetiver. It was a lovely shave with the mutton base. The splash definitely lights my face up a bit; I'm assuming that's just the oakmoss.
Today is likely my last day before a DQ unless I can dig up a match for tomorrow.

Day 15 of Atlas Shaves 2 – Electric Boogaloo Sat 15 Feb 2025
- Brush: Craving Shaving - Hazy with 26 mm Tuxedo
- Razor: Merkur 37c
- Blade: Merkur Super Platinum
- Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps – Lime
- Post Shave: Mühle – Aloe Vera
- Fragrance: Catie's Bubbles – Blugère
Here we go again, LatherBot chose a Mike's Natural Soaps scent again, so I am once more saved by my 2021 Lather Games prep and meticulous ~~record keeping~~ smush hoarding. I don't have LatherBot's scent du jour, Vetiver, so I get 4 artisan points today for Mike's Lime.
I haven't used the little Merkur slant in forever. It makes me chuckle to think back when I was scared trying it. I gathered from my wicked edge education that this had to be the most throatcutting aggressive razor. It's a pussy cat.
I doubt anyone will get kicked out today, anyone still in the game is very likely to own a Vetiver soap. Have a great weekend, my friends.

Day 15 of Atlas shaves. Today is my last official shave of Atlas Shaves, I set out to play the game using a CB soap everyday, unfortunately can not match enough of the notes of tomorrow's theme soap. Today's theme soap is Mikes Vetiver, and for me, when I think CB and Vetiver, it's 322. This for me is the perfect soap for my last Atlas shaves. The prize for being the last shaver standing is a custom raddinosaurcreations handle, so for my last shave I used my custom RDC.
