Great idea! As a daily shaver, I’m never going to do a traditional Atlas Shaves in Feb. I don’t have anything to add that others haven’t already. I like the idea of DQs. Certainly works for the (my) geezer generation. I’m not sure how generations that grew up receiving a prize even for losing will like it.

As DJ says, those with a well-stocked den will have an advantage, but it’s wetshaving and that’s part of the hobby.

• Blade Holder: Gillette Tech English Flat Bottom

• Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (1)

• Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Autumn Ash - Soap

• Aftershave: Noble Otter - Cerberus - Aftershave

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.

— Travel shave. Tis the season for Autumn Ash. It must be used. And, as we all know, Cerberus matches zero or more soap scents.

Oh, MMMMFF! I’ve got to do at least one of these this month. Shire+Valedictorian sounds interesting!

Oh yeah. I’ll be visiting Desert Vetiver this month. That’s a given :)

• Lather: Saponificio Varesino - Morado - Soap

Morado, like all the SV soaps I have, has a wonderful, subtle fragrance that’s warmer and very suitable for fall and winter.

I can send you a soap sample if you want.

Yeah, after years of posting daily, I’m having a hard time keeping up for some reason.
