April 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I agree Adam. I usually squeeze out the remaining lather in the brush and apply that for my touch up.

 

Oh I agree and would recommend using lather for touch ups. In my case, I just have really tough skin and I have to screw up badly to cause irritation or razor burn. I used to carry a Bic Disposable razor in my BDU pocket when I was in the Army. Out of boredom, I would run it across my sweaty face just to stay alert.

 

It is with this razor, the Popular which is going on hold for a bit. It isn't bad with my V3A. With the Popular though I find I need more pressure to actually get anything accomplished, to the point where I am overdoing it.

Gillette Old Type w Sharp Star (3)
TFS Mastro Miche SS
WD High Mountain Badger
Thayer's Unscented
Stirling Unscented Balm w menthol

Late post for this morning's shave. Day 3 of the Canadian Old Type focus, day 3 for the Sharp Star. Early 20th century razor pictured on an early 20th century phone.
The WD brush produced a ton of nice lather from the Tcheon Fung Sing soap, and the resulting 3 passes and touch up on jawline were nice and smooth. Am still focusing on really riding the cap, and being very cognizant of sound with this razor. A little less irritation again on my neck, but can still detect a little stubble when I rub ATG on my neck. I would call it a DFS again. Have shown minor improvements each day in level of neck redness, but will look to get a closer shave on my neck with this beautiful old razor.
Finished off with this fantastic mentholated Stirling balm.I will go 3 and out with this blade, and switch to an Astra SP for tomorrow morning's shave.
Have a great evening all!

 

Have a safe flight, Brian. And drive carefully if and when you finally make it to the rental car counter...

 

I don’t usually comment on the photos, but that's a beautiful springtime shot, Doug! And that Fatboy of yours looks practically mint. Is it or did you have it replated somewhere?

 

Thanks very much. The Fatboy hasn't been replaces. It is in great shape.

 

I agree with you on the drying. That, and the white film are what pretty much banished it from my den. People keep sending it to me when I buy stuff. I have had two sticks sent to me with BST sales this year.

 

Squeeing: Verb - The act of squealing with laughter while peeing one's pants with excitement.

 

I would go along with that too.

 

I actually have a skin allergy to it. It causes burning when it comes in contact with my skin. Tried it on my forearm and it was worse. Sent the rest to Neal, because that's what we do with shave gear that doesn't work, right?

 

Hope the rest of your trip gets better. Delays definitely make for long days. Have a safety trip.

 

Wonderful picture, Doug!

 

I laughed out loud at that one. The other Little League parents all turned and looked at the crazy guy laughing to himself.

 

Well I added something new today but it's a bit larger than a brush or a razor.



A bit pricier than most brushes I own too. Hope you all had a great day! I'll get caught up around here in a bit.

 

You'll have a hard time putting that on the shelf with the brushes. Congrats on the new car!

 

I'm trying to clear a big enough spot on my desk right now. How do you hang these upside down to dry?!

 

Congrats. Looks fantastic
