Really nice shave. This is a new brush and it's a winner! RR One X hits the mark. Chris @Bama Samurai I'm noticing that my beard is starting to grow faster, we've been having spring/summer like weather for the entire month of February so I think my system has been tricked.
Never let the things you WANT
Make you forget the things you HAVE!

Come on El Niño we've been expecting you.

 

Now how did they get up in that tree?!!!

 

I am noticing it too, my Wahl clipper hair cuts don't last as long as in December. We're having April weather right now.

 

They just followed the Route 66 soap.
I keep tell people this is an amazing soap. A good climber also.

 

Straights Focus February 27:

WD High Mountain Badger 30 mm
Kiss My Face Lavender SC
Damascus Razor (?)
Stirling Unscented PSB
The Veg

My first shave with this razor, which was a gift. It wasn't too good, and was very tuggy towards the end. I had some irritation after I was done, and hit a CCS level of closeness, but certainly not comfort. I used a little Veg to cool things off. Probably the last time for a while with this razor. It is marked Damascus Razor Sheffield Steel on the tang, in case anyone knows anything about them.

Weber PH
Feather (3)
Kent BK4 silvertip badger
Arko
Unrefined shea butter and Fine Platinum

I had a fairly simple two-pass shave this morning. My Bride and I are enjoying some mountain scenery in beautiful east Tennessee this weekend. The weather is warm and sunny in the valley, but the mountain tops are still snow-covered. I hope you all are having a great weekend!

 

So beautiful! You and the bride have a great weekend!

 

I was just invited over here in my new member post, about to start a new month, and I just got a new razor and new soap, so I will try this out. The lineup:

1960 Fatboy
Gillette silver blue blades
Phoenix sancre de draco soap
Pheonix sancre de draco AS

Edit:
Forgot the brush, using a The Holy Black custom silvertip badger

 

Welcome to the 30 Day thread! That is a great setup! Take it easy, focus on blade angle and get ready to have a great month! Thanks for joining us!

 

Wow! Your starting the new month in style, the Fatboy is a heck of a razor and your soaps are tops too.

 

Thanks Chris!

 

Outstanding. Have a great time.

 

Matt, welcome to the 30 day focus! You will have a fantastic time with this set up. The Fatboy is a fantastic razor.

 

Thanks Doug. My Bride and I are enjoying a few days of fun.

 

Razor: Gillette Red Tip
Blade: Feather Hi Stainless (6)
Brush: Elite Razor Mokume-Gane Carbon and Red Copper Silver Tip 3 Band 24/50
Soap: Route 66 Sweeny Todd
A/S: Route 66 Sweeny Todd (test)
Outstanding shave today with these shaving products. DFS. The Sweeney Todd shaving soap is brimming with the aroma of delicious Sicilian blood oranges, with their signature spicy berry undertone, blended with a hint of fir, warmed on a rich woody base.

 

Welcome to the thread!

 

Have a great time.

 

Welcome aboard.

 

Congrats! Welcome to the Dark Side!

 

Thanks Clint. I hope you have a great weekend. There's some nice motorcycle weather goin' on over here in The Great Smoky Mountains.
