February 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Welcome back!

 

He can have chocolate milk too for previous time in grade.

 

Like I have no honest need to buy any more until about 2020 at the earliest. I did an actual inventory for the first time ever at the end of 2016 and joined NB'17 upon discovering that I had more than 50 full-sized product containers standing between me and the perils of dry shaving.

Since those do not include Route 66, Stirling, Reef Point or Soap Commander, the last thing I needed was an entire month of person after person extolling Route 66 while posting gorgeous action photos of it, interspersed with all the posts about the others too. For that matter, I don’t really need to hear anything further about CRSW, B&M, Jeeves of Hudson Street...

What I do have:

Creams: ProRaso red, green, blue and white, LaToja, Palmolive Classica, Palmolive regular, Speick, Omega, Erasmic, Godrej, Vi-John, Florena, Neutrogena, Nivea Sensitive, Nivea Extra Moist, Duke Cannon, KMF Lavender Shea, Portland General Store's Alpine Jelly, and Dr. Bronner's Magic Organic Shave Gel (best used as handsoap).

Soaps: TOBS Avocado Cream (croap), ProRaso white soap, Cella, Omega, MWF, Lea, Institute Karitie, Haslinger Coconut, Haslinger Schafmilch, Supply Provision tallow Juniper, Uula Coffee, Arko (case of 12), 8 homemade - bay rum, citrus, sandalwood and dragon's blood.

Samples: Castle Forbes Lavender, 3 Henri et Victoria.

Somewhere, somehow, it all got away on me, and I still haven't figured out quite how it happened...

 

I'm afraid I haven't earned my cookie, need to get my straights honed first. My acquisition disorders have kicked in big time taking all my money. Honing will come next month and then the real focus begins.

 

Verrrrrrrrry goooooood!

 

Route 66 killed SAD for me. Be careful, it might wreck you too.

 

Acquisition disorders do have a habit of causing problems. About the time you think you have one of them whipped another rises up and says PICK ME!!! Take a cookie anyway. You're a victim here, not the cause.

 

After setting up my new display today I came to the conclusion I have enough soaps. I want to add a few more aftershaves to the mix and hopefully my new Supply Provision razor cures my RAD. Thankfully BAD has not grabbed me yet. Once I get my straights honed and I'm more confident in their use I expect RAD to kick in again. I'm a little afraid of falling down that rabbit hole.

 

Thank you, I am glad my new baby is getting some love.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]As usual the weekend was entirely too short. The Shavemac easily whipped up the MdC into a wonderful rich lather. A Two pass shave, XTG & ATG, followed by minimal touch ups ended in a near BBS. This is more than good enough for a Monday morning. I finished the shave with a splash of Fine Vetiver. I hope everyone has a great Monday. [/FONT]

 

It's an absolutely stunning piece of steel workmanship. I own a couple vintage straight razors as part of my collection although you couldn't pay me enough to get me to shave with one. If anything could tempt me to give it a try though, that Koraat would just about do it.

 

Sing a little, play harmonic and drums. I sold my drums a few years ago. Still hurts! 1972 Ludwig.

 

Beautiful!

 

Incredible!

 

You have a great set up going this week. Great picture!

Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick G1 injector
Brush: Omega Hi synthetic
Lather: Proraso Green
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Barbasol Pacific Rush aftershave, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Easy menthol Monday shave today. Nice cooling from Proraso Green and the Barbasol aftershave has a good bit of menthol as well. Smooth passes with the G1 injector. All in all a nice way to start the work week.

Have a great day!
