April 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thanks for the feedback guys!

 

Goood Morning 30DC!!!
Happy Saturday!!
Today is a no shave day for yours truly. However I did do something shave related this morning when I cleaned and changed blades in the ball end Tech Travel Razor. GSB is up this week. Also for the rest of the month I'm going to be focusing on lathering soaps. I've been only using them on Sunday's and haven't really been happy with my efforts. So this week along with GSB, Catie's Bubbles "Tonsorial Parlor" will be in use.
Have a great weekend my friends!

A great shave this morning was a fitting way to end the week with this lineup. All the elements have worked well together. Three passes with touch ups ended in a near perfect shave. The shave was very smooth and comfortable with no nicks or irritation. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 

Very neat looking bowl and brush combo Clint!

 

Thank you.

 

We have one of these left. They are maintenance free if you want to join us

 

Hopefully it will get through customs.

 

Now I'm sitting in Chicago Midway waiting for my connection. I'm so homesick
Can't wait to get home.

 

let me say this-LOL.

 

Does Midway just have short-distance flights? I mean, I always wondered why a city needs two airports.

 

No, I'm flying to California from here. This was Chicago's original airport. When they opened O'Hare this one stayed open. Both airports are very busy places.

 

ohh ok..

 

Nice to get the Wind Drift A.S. back on my face again....

Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick G8 injector
Brush: Omega Hi synthetic
Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post: Witch hazel splash, Fine American Blend aftershave
WTG, touch-up

Nice shave again with this combination. Mitchell's is a great soap. One deliberate pass with touch-up and I'm good to go. I'm in Montgomery, Alabama now and have been the past couple of days. The Alabama All-State Band met this week and rehearsed and will give a concert this afternoon. It's been a fun couple of days.

Have a great weekend!

 

Midway is a great airport. O'Hare not so much. There are direct flights from Birmingham, AL to Midway that take about 90 minutes. Short and sweet. I have been to Chicago a lot for work events and conferences. Only went through O'Hare once and will try to avoid it from here on out.

 

Much appreciated, Frank, but if I took something nice in return, there would be pressure on me to make something that actually looked professional...
As for the knot, I think I'll probably look to make an APShave Co order in conjuction with this if there are folks who do want a tuxedo or cashmere knot. One buy will cut down on shipping.

I agree totally, I can't stand O'Hare. I fly Midway whenever possible. Since I prefer Southwest, it usually works out.

 

Yep. Those direct flights I mentioned are Southwest.

 

great brush!!!!
