March 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

My oldest daughter actually likes it, and sometimes on the weekends, she will ask to take a picture herself. It is funny when a 6 year boy says "That's just weird!" But that is what dad's are supposed to do: amuse their kids. Luckily for them, dad provides lots of opportunities to be laughed at.

 

I think that is what surprised them so much. I have pretty much railed against social media the whole time they were growing up, my wife is the only one who Facebooks, my son does none of it, and my daughter has a twitter acct. They seemed sort of shocked that I was "foruming", and about my grooming.

 

He is a very cute kid! I assume he takes after his Mom?

 

Ouch!

 

my daughter and I would think you two were tame. I think it is an Italian thing...

 

Thanks, Jared. I bought this last year. 'Quite the bloom' is a nice euphemism for 'could be set a few millimetres deeper' . It came epoxied from WD, so it is what it is. It isn't too floppy, though.

 

I like this one for you better

 

Thank you Charlie! We are loving every moment for sure!

 

Thank you, my friend!

 

If only it was that simple. The nurse actually pulled out one of those plastic disposable DE and shaved my arm hairs. That did start of conversation with her about my shaving habits and her good technique. It may be a little hard to see, but there is a little patch of BBS on my arm. Considering no prep or lather, there is surprisingly little irritation.

 

Razor: AlumiGoose V1
Blade: Kai Titan Mild (12)
Brush: H.L. Thater Funf TSN LE Butterscotch Beehive 2 Band 5th Anniversary
Soap: Captain's Choice Bay Rum
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Bay Rum

 

Wonderful picture, Doug! I love that butterscotch beehive brush.

 

I actually think I'm going to get him a Parker Variant for his birth year razor.

 

I think your pic confirms that I need to set the knot a little deeper on my Ever-Ready.

 

I don't necessarily think so, I have a couple of brushes that are bloomed out like big mushrooms, and I think they look cool. Ever see a Kent?

 

Thanks very much Jim.

 

The loft on this brush is supposed to be 55 mm +/- 1.5 mm. I will measure it and PM you. Maybe won't be until tomorrow, I'm a little under the weather today.

 

Poor kid. Let's hope she can do better than that.

Actually, to both my son and daughter I have always preached this philosophy:

 

Thanks Charlie. How are you enjoying retirement so far?
