    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.

      Love the precision of your personal tally. Is that Puma new? If not, I must have missed it due to my inattentive behavior of late.

        Thanks!

        No, it’s the same Puma we’ve discussed previously. I’m still looking for a good condition 6/8 high class

          The Puma 89s I have (nominally 6/8) are very nice. The extra bling of the High Class will, of course, make the razor perform better. I’m still looking.

            Precisely 😄
