    Atlas Shaves II - Day 22

    The first and last shaves with a GEM blade are always the toughest. To be fair, it’s been way too long since I’ve used the MM24. It was overall a great shave with Stirling’s Ozark Mountain.

    It took long enough for LatherBot to come around to Stirling, but no British Leather in the den unfortunately.

    • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations “Nebulagance” - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
    • Razor: GEM - Micromatic Clog-Pruf
    • Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (7)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Ubrique
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Ubrique Aftershave splash
    • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
    • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Ubrique EdP

    This is my first shave with Ubrique, and I’m very impressed. It’s a much spicier and richer leather scent than the Seaforth! Leather. A bit of tangy citrus and smoke, but much less coriander/bergamot brightness.

    I’d situate it somewhere between Stirling’s Oro Valley (an Ombre Leather dupe) and the Seaforth! Leather. The soap isn’t quite as bright to my nose as Oro Valley, but it has a similar smoky/citrus (but much more complex) vibe. Obviously, the performance is top-notch like every other BaM soap.

    The EdP is absolutely excellent. Dark leather, smoke, much more citrus, and a background of peppery goodness. I’m definitely a fan. I’d say this is worth picking up on its own at least if the soap and splash don’t appeal to you.

    The Clog-Pruf shaved great as always. Just an excellent start to my Saturday.
