Tabac hit just right today. It has matching scent notes, and so it shall be.

• Blade: Perma-Sharp Super [9]

If nothing else, AS2 is causing me to pull out some scents that don’t get used often. Talbot’s Author’s Ridge is better than I remembered.

I did do my first SOTD with Woesteling, a Brut dupe which shares 8 of the 14 scent notes (or one more than necessary) with today’s theme soap, but in the meanwhile, I have pointed out a rules violation which was punished with downvotes for reasons that probably put me in the vicinity of violating rule 1, but gives me one more point. So let’s do this again, but this time with Tabac:

Monday, February 03, 2025: Atlas Shaves 2 - Day 3

• Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations “Nebulagance” - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
• Razor: GEM - Micromatic Flying Wing
• Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (7)
• Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Shave Stick
• Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Aftershave splash
• Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
• Fragrance: Stirling - Haverford EdT

Tabac saves me from an airbud today, although I might have a sample of Mediterranean Man around here somewhere that would have worked.

Always a fuss-free shave with Tabac, and the scent is just so pleasant. A great start to my day.

+2 points for soap with at least half the same scent notes
+1 point for cross-posting
+1 point for engaging yesterday

Total points (8 previous + 4): 12

Day 03 of Atlas Shaves 2 – Electric Boogaloo Mon 03 Feb 2025

• Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Manchurian
• Razor: Puma 88 (5/8", round tip, carbon steel, hollow ground)
• Lather: Boendoebaard – Woesteling
• Post Shave: Brut – Original
• Fragrance: Brut – Original

Atlas Shaves is really heating up with an artisan rarely used on this sub and a whopping 14 scent notes. I’m curious to see how many air buds will get burned today. Luckily for the a good portion of the community, The One True Stank® has then covered and lets them live and fight another day.

Today isn’t Tuesday, though, so I’m going in a different direction: Woesteling is a dupe of Brut. They are clear in their copy that “this specific fragrance [Brut] is very popular around the globe, and we hope it will gain a respectable following in our formats; the sheep tallow base [etc]”, so I’m using the scent notes of Brut as published by fragrantica.
