How fortuitous that the r/ws sub-exclusive soap, "Seaforth! Leather", arrived yesterday, and today's theme soap was scented by Shawn Maher, same as Leather.
Leather definitely smells "90's" to me, but not in a "90's mall frag" sort of way. Instead it's a "90's childhood memory" type of scent. It puts me in an oddly specific place. I picture waiting in the hallway for a table at the Chinese restaurant we'd go to on special occasions. It was in a building with a shared hallway, and the building just had sort of a "smell" to it. Maybe it was some aspect of the Asian cuisine being cooked nearby? Anyway, that's what I get. It's not for everyone, but I like sort of funky unique scents, and this one is a win in my book.

I'm still surprised sometimes how certain scents can take you right back to a specific place at a moment in time.

Shawn does funky unique scents well.

Great shave with a vintage razor and a traditional soap scent.
Thursday, February 06, 2025: Atlas Shaves 2 - Day 6
I was going to shave with SSL today, but Leather was delivered in time. Everything is super balanced in the soap and splash, but the EdT is much more coriander forward to my nose (from the start, at least). An excellent pickup, no ragerts.

06.02.2025 - Shave before night shift
-> 1 pass head shave before my night shift. That's why I'm posting late. I actually forgot to log one shave with exactly the same setup...
Nights can be wicked hard, folks. I'm off to sleep now...
Another rare soap from a rare soaper, but luckily I have the artisan who made today's theme soap, so I'm finally up for the four artisan points again, yay! Luckily for everyone else, the soap is scented by Shawn Maher, so it's almost impossible not to have something that fits for the scenter points. All my software today is scented my Shawn under his Chatillon Lux brand.
I'm not a frequent enough user of Sudsy Soapery's to have the base dialled in, but the slightly foamy lather I got was perfectly serviceable and the big Dovo is a joy to use.

I've used Sudsy Soapery's base a handful of times, and I always struggle with it too.
The Bible verses on the tubs didn't work, it seems 😅
Tomorrow's Atlas Shaves Theme: Mike's Natural Soaps - Lavendin & Eucalyptus
Notes: Lavandin, Eucalyptus
Feb 6, 2025 - Atlas Shaves II - Day 6
Today I'm using The Sudsy Soapery's collaboration with Chatillon Lux, Delor de Treget. This is another soap that was buried in my den, but it is a pretty great scent. Barrbarr paired really well with it, and I think I would use this combo again.

Boom!
You're the first one I've seen today that has the actual soap. Very well played. 🫡
Oh damn! You had the actual soap! Well played, your den is impressively deep!
