April 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Adjustable April Non Arko

Tabac, B-400 WD HMB
'59 Fat Boy, Personna MP
Alum block and Canoe AS


Skipped the Arko today. Is Tabac Thursday a thing? Easy lather and I like the scent. Though it's a hard soap I felt like getting luxurious so I swapped on the High Mountain badger ferrule. With a fresh Med Prep blade three easy passes & a little clean up brought me to a DFS. Been using the #195 long enough errors are seldom and the alum was quiet. Splash of Canoe for that Barbershop scented finish.
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

Pretty razor! It fits nicely with the brush and Nuavia dish. Great photo!

 

I had the same thoughts this morning. I avoided them for so long, as they just don't look like much, but they can shave smoothly. I am glad I finally picked one up. It was a $4 from a local antique store just before the holidays. Well worth it in my opinion.

 

Thank you Jim.

 

Thank you, Charlie! Have a great day!

 

scary stuff.

 

Any day is a great day for Tabac

 

Do you have a Futur as well? Everything thing I have read about the closes is that they shave as well (some say even better) as the Futur. I would be curious to see a direct comparison. Congrats on the new razor!

 

It is definitely a nice looking razor. Congrats on the great shave!

 

Beautiful picture, Mark! The flowers and brush just seem to fit.

 

Stay safe, Brian!

 

I have had both, (still have a clone) and to be honest I couldn't tell them apart if the NT Vigour clone wasn't black. It also doesn't have a positive stop on the adjustment, so it can be cranked up to infinity. As if anyone could possibly need it to go past six, lol. It is nearly a devette by that point anyway.

I have switched back to the Fatboy to close out the week and a good shave was had by all.

 

I would just get rid of the watch

Stay safe.

 

Now there's a solution
Looks like the warning has been pulled. All is good

 

Excellent setup Adam. Good idea using a spreadsheet to track your shaves. I'll have to look into that. It doesn't surprise me that @clint64 also uses that method.

 

Budden down the hatches. Be safe!

First day of The Masters shave. Everything worked well together for a 3 pass with a clean up near BBS shave.

 

Crazy weather this week for the Masters should make things even more interesting. Love the photo with the rain drops. Stay dry Amigo.
