- Unscented alcohol splash seems odd to me. People being careful about avoiding frags on their skin, but using alcohol must be a small customer group
  
  It's actually not alcohol based, latha was a weird era for Will

Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
Blade: Personna Twin Pivot Plus Refills, Atra (2)
Lather: Barrister & Mann - Promises - Soap
Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman - Aftershave
Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
This soap is stronger than I remember it. I left it open in the bathroom and could smell it in the other room!
- Does this mean you're out, or taking your Airbud today?
  
  I think I'm out. I think I decided there should be a consensus to stay in, and there wasn't. Mostly I didn't want to use my unscented soap!
Monday, February 10, 2025: Altas Shaves 2 - Day 10
Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
Razor: Eldrormr Industries - MM24
Blade: Accuforge - GEM Microcoat (2)
Lather: Dove - Sensitive Skin
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two Aftershave splash
Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two EdT
Dove Sensitive Skin is fragrance-free and was an acceptable choice for today to keep me on theme. I got the same result that I get with my nicer soaps, but the shaving experience was significantly worse. One could get by just using something like this to shave, but I'm glad I don't need to.
+2 points for soap with at least half the same scent notes
+1 point for cross-posting
+1 point for engaging yesterday
Total points (40 previous + 4): 44
