April 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Gonna have to step up you game. I need to see it.

 

Is that Blazing Saddles, and more important Madeline Kahn? I need to know. For research purposes. I was only 13 when it came out and my 'Rents didn't let me watch it.

 

It is Blazing Saddles, and while Madeline Khan was in the movie, that particular young lady is Robyn Hilton. Blazing Saddles is, in my opinion one of the funniest movies ever made.
It is worth noting that the young lady is in her late seventies now.

 

You beat me to it.

I was looking for that the other night when I was talking about slim pickens. And here it turned up.

Blazing saddles is maybe Mel's finest.

 

Definitely one of the funniest ever made. Took a shot at every possible stereotype and hit the mark every time. And yes, Madeline Khan played the German singer who seduced Sheriff Bart. There were two main differences between her and Robyn Hilton. Both are on view in that screenshot.

 

Tough choice between Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

 

I have a hump?????

Yup another good one.

 

Then let's reference both.

 

I was hoping someone would go there.

 

Do you remember when you were a young lad & started noticing the Ladies? Might have disregarded those 5 or 10 years older that you. Later Ladies chronologically ahead of you that became attractive might include those blessed with a score of years more than you possessed. Eventually those women who, through no fault of their own, being of a younger demographic seem childlike yet had attained adulthood. I think the math goes (1/2 your age) + 7 years. Or is it 17 will get you 20?
Anyways, Robyn Hilton hasn't worked in TV or movies since 1985.

 

Well, with apologies to @clint64, @Douglas Carey and everyone who provides good photos in this thread, here are pictures of tonight's shave equipment: Rockwell 6s in leather blade cover, Alluminati Envy White brush, glass jar of Supply Provision shave cream and my three bowls. The stainless steel bowl has an opening diameter of 3 1/4". It's sitting in my horn quaich and the new black clay bowl has the brush in it.

The second photo also shows Equipment Inspector Pete hard at work checking the photography setup and making sure his staff monkey isn't getting away with anything.

 

Have a safe trip Keith.

 

Great lineup and photo. Even Pete approves.

​

The CH2 synthetic continues to impress with each use. I have found for me it works best to start with it damp and add water to the knot as I face lather. This allows the lather to develop and prevents me from adding too much water. After yesterday's experiment with a 2 pass shave, I went back to my normal 3 pass shave this morning. After minimal touch ups, I ended up my normal near BBS. A splash of Fine Fresh Vetiver was a perfect finish to an overall excellent shave. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

 

Very nice, Clint!
