    Also was thinking today, I wear a fragrance all day but never share it because I shave after work. So today I will start sharing what frag l’ve worn all day.

    Day 15 of Atlas shaves. Today is my last official shave of Atlas Shaves, I set out to play the game using a CB soap everyday, unfortunately can not match enough of the notes of tomorrow’s theme soap. Today’s theme soap is Mikes Vetiver, and for me, when I think CB and Vetiver, it’s 322. This for me is the perfect soap for my last Atlas shaves. The prize for being the last shaver standing is a custom raddinosaurcreations handle, so for my last shave I used my custom RDC.

    Day 14 of Atlas Shaves and the CB streak lives on another day. Todays theme soap is CB Pomander, I do not have it but I have Barnegat Bay in the Original Italian style. I had it in a mug but transferred it to an empty tub for easier loading and storage. It’s 10 years old and it’s still amazing. 47th Bubbles shave in a row.

    Airbudding today. I could have fought for a CB bought it was a debate on whether Neroli was considered Orange Blossom even though it’s made from Orange Blossom. But in the end I’m just here to have fun and to play within the rules as they are written. The CB streak is up to 41 days and I know I have one for tomorrow that works!
