March 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Good job, once you learn to tame an aggressive razor you can shave with anything!

March 18 SOTD:

Stirling Synthetic Brush
Stubble Trubble SS
Gem Junior Bar
Stirling Unscented PSB
Avon Blue Blazer AS

It was a nice Saturday morning shave with the Stubble Trubble and Gem Junior Bar. My son joined me for the shave, so it was that much better. I got a DFS on two passes requiring no clean up. My son did have to bring up that he was smoother than I was, and this time I couldn't argu. We each topped it with a little Avon Blue Btopped and then ran off to show mom how good we smelled. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Awesome razor and story, Jim. I can't wait to have those kinds of mornings with my son!

Cool photo with a good looking razor.

 

Thank you, Andrew. He used to shave with me every weekend, now it is quite a bit more sporadic. It is amazing at how quickly kids change. Enjoy every moment with your boy, as it is a new experience each and every day.

 

Thank you, Doug!

 

Great photo Jim . The Gem Jr is one cool looking razor.

Today was my first shave using this nice old Torrey that was gifted to me by @Bama Samurai, which was cool. Thanks, Chris!

It was also a good Shave School day for me because it was the first shave I ever had using a razor I had honed up from setting the bevel. It was sharp enough to get the job done, but wasn't the closest shave I ever had, nor the most comfortable, and needs some more work before I use it again. It did manage all three passes, I will get after it a bit this evening, and use it again tomorrow. All in all though, I am pretty stoked, and definitely that much closer to fully crossing over.

Back this evening with a couple days of brush scorecards.

 

Nice shot Doug, I'm seriously considering getting a Simpson's synthetic.

Thanks very much. I guarantee you won't regret getting a Simpson synthetic.

 

I would second Doug's vote of confidence on that.

 

Great outdoor shot, Doug! Morning or evening?

 

Thank you, Jared! It definitely starts the day off right!

 

I will offer Thirds. In the US, Straight Razor Design had the best price for the Ivory. If you are in no rush follow Simpsons on Twitter or Instagram and wait for a LE Synthetic to become available.
