March 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

still playing with my 4 techs and 4 rockets.refining my technique with the techs as they all shave similarly.rockets shave a little different so i use them as a treat.have a 5th tech on its way; a gold prewar made in u.s.a. in case with blade bank.permasharp blades finally showed up so i will be throwing them in the mix.still don t have an absolute favourite,i love them all and like to pick as my mood allows.

 

There are so many potential responses to that......but none of them will probably get past the censors.

 

I'm thinking throwing in something like Williams would qualify more for MAYhem than March Madness. So, assuming I survive the razor on a stick, there could be a potential encore.

 

The "I" word has been use more frequently, unfortunately.

That is a very unique brush handle.

 

Thanks very much Neal. It works great with the TGN Silvertip Grade A knot also.

 

Great looking lineup Jared.

 

Impressive Week 1 Lineup

what do you think she shaves with?

 

March 1 (Wed) - Gem SE focus

My declared focus for March is twofold:
1. Become familiar and comfortable with using my Gem and EverReady 1912 SE razors, while
2. Finally killing off The Eternal Tub of TOBS Avocado Cream ( croap )

So I dived right into the deep end of that Focus today ... by pulling out my complete Supply Provision kit (razor, blade, brush, tallow soap and post shave balm) and having an injector shave...

And very enjoyable it was too.

Tomorrow I will actually haul out a Gem-style razor and shave with it after lathering up from The Eternal Tub. Maybe...

 

Thank you, Andrew!

 

Great picture, Doug! I love the brush!

 

Thank you Clint. The Grade A Silver does feel soft and luxurious for sure. I have Mark (@Boojum1) to thank for suggesting I try this TGN knot in the Oscar 11 handle.

 

Thank you Jim. I love this brush also.
