March 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Great concept.
I'm in and will pledge the next 30 days totally focusing on my technique.

 

Welcome. I'll be reing up 1 April to audition blades for the Travel Razor I scored in the raffle

 

Thank you!

 

Welcome to the thread!

 

I love me some pictures roasts! Hawaii does it about as good as anyone. Hope it was fun.

 

Clint, that is another wonderful picture!

 

Thank you very much.
Really looking forward to this. A great idea.

 

Beautiful picture, Brian!

 

Thank you!

 

Isn't it? Holy crap for nice.

 

It really is that nice.

It was a great morning shave. In reality, I got a couple of cuts from the razor, nothing too bad, but enough to remind me that my straight technique has seriously slipped. I ended with a CCS level of smoothness, but it was a bit of effort and some pink lather. What really made this shave great, though is this:



My son and middle daughter both joined me for the shave. This did mean that my little toddler spent a lot of time in the bathroom too, which rushed me a bit, but was it ever fun to have them both there. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Another gorgeous shot of nice gear, and another empty countertop. I think Clint and I could be actual family. Just call me Cousin Eddie.

 

That is the cutest picture ever.

 

Thank you, Brian!

 

That pic of your kids made my morning. Really cool.

 

Thank you, Jared. It got my morning set off right, too!

 

A gorgeous uplifting photo mate.
Your children have a better technique than me at the moment.

 

Well, they both ended up BBS, which is better that I did!

Extra happy with myself this morning because this is another razor I honed from the ground up. I certainly don't have any mad skills, but at least now I am pretty confident I can take a razor from butter knife to a nice shaver. At least if I start out with straight steel.

Stirling brought back Glastonbury, and in the mutton tallow formula. It is named after a rock restival, and I think aptly so. If you have ever had your heart skip a little watching a barefoot girl dancing outdoors, this is your scent. And the sheep soap continues to be the slickest soap I have ever used. I am really glad Rod brought this back for a re-run.

The brush runoff had to take a couple of days off, but I will resume today with this Omega. The horses will move to the back of the line.
