January 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I'm talking the actual blade I used last year. It's still around here somewhere. I'll just palm strop and go. What could it hurt.

 

As long as your tetanus is up to date...just your face.

 

At some point, you need to give it a shot after it has sat in some glass for a bit. It is completely different after it is decanted.

It's a different product after it has been in glass for a period of time.

 

Great picture, Mark!

 

I'm in this year!

 

The Arko shave stick does a bit. When I use my post shave balm, I don't notice, but this month is just about finding soaps that do well without PSB and those that need it. The worst has been Erasmic, which actually earned a trip to the garbage can, but three soaps have been great: Route 66, Stubble Trubble, and Stirling. Arko was fairly drying, but everything else more than makes up for it.

 

I assume this means it comes in a plastic bottle like the one Clubman VI Bay Rum comes in?

Any particular kind of glass it needs to sit in instead -- e.g. A glass bottle or just open and airing out in a drinking glass -- or any particular number of days, weeks or months it needs to sit for this transformation to happen?

 

I have it in a repurposed maple syrup bottle. I have to be a bit careful pouring it out, but it works.

It definitely needs a few days or weeks to mellow out.

 

I bought a new olive oil cruet at the grocery. It has a spout and stopper. The stuff mellows out after a week or so in sealed glass.

 

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

 

It does not need to be glass. I found that a month in a used metal gas can will help it also.

 

Never wore Brut. Teens through late twenties it was, in order Ice Blue Aqua Velva, English Leather. Then I met Herself and the Aramis Era started. I do use/have used Brut deodorant, whose scent I like.

I continue to enjoy my month with the Timeless OC. Thus far I have found it to be a very smooth and efficient shaver. Route 66 soaps continue to easily deliver wonderful slick lather with superb post shave feel. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

 

Great picture Mark. The Strop Shoppe was a fantastic soap. I am sorry they are not still around.

 

That's beautiful. Is that from SpongeBob?

 

I like the pic placement, Clint. Don't know why, but it made me think of an easter egg hunt.

 

Thank you Jared. It would make a great place to hide an easter egg.

 

Thank you Doug. Happy Wednesday
