SOTD: 7/12/2015 - "I'm In Trouble Now..."

#JumbledJuly Day 12

Pre: Hot shower
Soap: Catie's Bubbles "Celtic Knot"
Brush: Pav "Ghost Trails" Tulip 3-Band
Razor(s): ATT Atlas R1 (Dome) & ATT S2 w/ Jurgen Hemple Titanium handle (Face)
Blade: Voskhod
Post: Soap Commander "Inegrity" ASB & Catie's Bubbles "Celtic Knot" AS

I'm absolutely dumbfounded. The hype is real. This razor is legit. ESPECIALLY the S2.

Perhaps I should explain: I'm at my parents' house this weekend for my brother's wedding. My oldest brother (who got me into wet shaving, and had loads of cool stuff) let me try out his ATT set. I'd heard so much about this set, that I couldn't resist. I went with the standard R1 on my head because I didn't want to be too adventurous. And I've never tried an open comb slant before, so I had to give it a go.

The R1 is solid and keeps the blade right in place. I'd say it's more aggressive than a DE89 or 34C, but it's also more rigid. There's so little blade flex that it's effortless and efficient.

The S2, on the other hand, is so mild that I went over spots over and over again without any irritation. I was actually able to chase a BBS shave on my neck. On my NECK! What is this madness?!

Now, the money hoarding begins so I can acquire one. Maybe I should start a GoFundMe campaign to get me one... Because, seriously, I feel like I NEED this razor set.

Be smooth, everyone!

Menthol Monday 
Pre shave comparison round two: Mickey Lee Lime vs Van Yulay.
Today I switched sides on my face for the pre shaves, with VY on the right and ML on the left. I think VY distinguished itself this time. My right side feels more comfortable and moisturized even after the shave. Perhaps the tea tree oil in VY tipped the scale for me, since that is one of my favorite ingredients.  Tomorrow, Shea Moisture pre shave goes against Maggard's Eucalyptus in the first of two days of comparison. I will then have the winner of each pair face off for two days. 
It was a good shave, still a little tender on my neck, but no big deal. Rhapsody was excellent as usual, and Krampert's Frostbite provided the welcome chill at the end. 
Prep: Van Yulay; Mickey Lee Lime
