July 17, 2023 – Month of Lather Day 18

  • Brush: Ever-Ready 100 Boar #ANCIENT #HOLLOW #RUNT
  • Razor: Rex Supply Co. Ambassador XL Adjustable
  • Blade: Treet Carbon Steel (3)
  • Preshave: Stirling Soap Co. – Unscented
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Cedar & Spice
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Original AS Lotion
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Original EdC
  • Music: Metallica - Atlas, Rise!

Daily Theme: CF Cedar & Spice prominently features woody spicy accords. According to Fragrantica, the following Cedar & Spice notes are considered woody: Cedar, Guaiac Wood, Haitian Vetiver, & Patchouli; and the following Cedar & Spice notes are considered spicy: Black Pepper, Clove, and Ginger. Juniper Berries and Lime notes are also added to "keep things from getting boring".

The Challenge: Being in/associated with the military for four decades, daily face shaving is all I know. Joining a month-long Atlas Shave Challenge is not something I would normally do. Taking part in today's Atlas Shave Day challenge, now that's a different story. Here's the proof: Lather catching, Whisker straining, and Atlas results.

The Shave: I was concerned that my lather technique wasn't good enough for The Runt, but The CF base and The Runt got along famously and quickly built quality lather. During the shave I focused too much on lather catching and ended up with a CCS. I really like the CF base, but scent-wise the Cedar & Spice was just ok to me. I remedied that by applied a bit of Tabac magic post-shave. #ROTY
