Early meetings----

November 4, 2024 - At it Again

• Brush: Yaqi - Sagrada Familia 24mm synthetic
• Razor: Rockwell - 6C (R3 plate)
• Blade: Astra - Superior Platinum (2)
• Lather: Stirling - Oro Valley
• Post: Stirling - Oro Valley AS splash
• Post: Ginger's Garden - Unscented AS balm + menthol
• Frag: Stirling - Oro Valley EdT

Such a great scent, I'm happy to now have this trifecta in my rotation.

I had a bit of burn during my first pass that went away for the second and third. I'm hoping my skin was just feeling sensitive and that it isn't suddenly frag burn with this scent.

I also wonder whether this brush might be irritating my skin. I seem to remember I also had a bit of burning the last time I used it.

Luxurious (™️)

I think something like this is a great idea. Caveat that I’ve never been around for previous atlas shaves events.

What I like:

• Points are good, both for tracking standings and determining the winner.
• I like that folks can be knocked out, feels on theme with a strongest man competition.
• I like that this encourages cross-channel participation. Many folks probably don’t know about anything but Reddit (I sure didn’t at first!).
• I think it would be helpful to use some sort of randomization for the SOTD challenges, like your idea for using the LatherBot database. This reduces the burden on those organizing.
• I think the surprise aspect of the daily soap of the day challenge would be a lot of fun.

The format you proposed would certainly bias toward folks who have been accumulating soaps for longer. I’m not sure whether that fits with “strongest” in my mind.

I don’t have a better idea right now, just offering my initial thoughts.

Just rub a cartridge against your face until the hair is gone?

I appreciate your different words as well! 😄

Got it, thanks!
