February 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

oh ok...well, 2 outta 3 ain't bad then(for me)....I don't know how to do the pics yet. Perhaps this can be my Project Of 2017.

 

I probably should have seen this coming, but my Barbasol Floating Head is done at the re-platers, so I may have to take a slight detour to my Focus this month, once it gets here.

I am sure these pictures are much nicer than anything I will take, so I'll let these be the first impression:

 

I finally heard some "scraping" noise from my 65-slim(with the Wilkinson Sword blade in it)....I'll try it for a bit tomorrow, but finish with the disposeABLE if I need to.

 

WOW! absolutely stunning. and I'm sure that plate job will last much longer then the original. What kind of back log does Sport Shaving have for plating jobs ? it seems impossible to find a good plater that isn't on a multi-month wait list.

 

That is REALLY nice work. I'd be taking a detour too.

 

Need more for SOTD

 

Basically everyone here is trying to improve on a skill set, or learn something about products/equipment they own. So the SOTD commentary is generally related to a persons focus, or shenanigans.

 

You should oil it.

 

Thank you, Andrew. He originally quote me 4-6 weeks to get done, and he got the razor on January 9th. So, he basically did it in about three weeks. It definitely looks better than it did when I sent it too him.

Also, just to clarify (in case some were wondering), I committed to this late last year, we just took a week or two to work out the details. I still consider myself good on NB17.

 

Thanks, Jared!

 

already did....by "scraping" I meant, I'm beginning to hear the cutting sound I should be hearing in the first place. Experimentation will continue.

 

I know what you meant. That was shenanigans. Better get up on your toes, mister.

 

Makes perfect sense to me.

 

This is the un-hijackable thread. Some people post both here and the SOTD thread, some post only here. I don't do the same level of discussion on other threads as I do here, and am much less likely to dare someone to shave with something that could hurt them on other threads.

 

Do you have a before picture?

 

well that's nice....first day in here and already getting coached(teasing, I'm happy to be here .

 

Your comment sets up a good plan for me....I'll do the SOTD in , but leave the relative prose for this thread.

 

That's how you know we love you, man.

 

Here is the only one I could find.

 

That razor looks fantastic. Nick did a great job.
