April 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Please, please! You can't even troll others decently! You 're an amateur! Like if we hadn't seen Sean Connery and Braveheart! Have you aver seen an Italian Braveheart? No? I thought so. At least do the minimal effort and use google! Here, let me help you! Try this one:



I mean, what's next? Pretending to showing a German, wearing a kimono? Trolling is an art. Leave it to the artists.

 

I have soft water and I have found Route 66 to be very effective with various amounts of water. Again I load off the puck so my situation is different. It's worth a try.

 

You look great in this shot, Shavette Fu! Your much improved shave technique makes your face look baby smooth. You and that handsome gentleman on the right make a fabulous couple!

 

I think you'll be happy. I never soak Route 66 and love it.

 

I did say i get BBS! On another note, i couldn't convince myself to order 200 Personna Reds... For the same price i ordered 300 more Astras SP... Total count now, here. Which also means, i will be reviewing also the Treet Platinum, Dorco Prime STP301 and...the german Croma Diamant! 2 I am on search for a middle of the road sharp, smooth blade to put next to the Shark SS. (i mean sharper than Derby). If i find it, i will order more. If not, my future blade purchases will be very limited in numbers. Also ordered a Proraso Sandalwood in cream this time ( i had bought a tub) and a french styptic pensil. I am ready for the worst now!

 

April Adjustable Focus; Arko Assisted

ToBS Eton College, SP→2 Badger Brush
'59 Gillette #195 and Dorco ST-301 blade
Alum block, rinse, & Pinaud Clubman AS



Had a slow morning at the house until the Postman showed up. International Mail Call! Fresh from John @Sparrow directly from Osaka, Japan; a piece of cypress with Value added. Wonderfully ergonomically designed asymmetric brush handle with a badger knot installed. It's a beautiful Thing!
Because I shave at the kitchen sink I lathered up the SP→2 with Arko, rinsed, lathered again. Frantically washing a short stack of dishes gave the lemony lather plenty of destink time. Dishes done and in the dryer rack, the ToBS lemon & patchouli came next. Short lofted and dense of bristle the badger knot pulled up creamy goodness. The not quite square, but not round either shape of the handle took a few rotations until I found the grip. Thumb in the notch and fingers over the curve works. No scratch, slight scritch - just the way I like it. The knot is set just right. Second shave on the Dorco Platinum coated blade yielded a DFS. Three passes & a little cleanup with the brush delivering plenty of lather each time.
Now I'm off to run the rototiller on my parents vegetable gardens. I'll be sore even though I've learned to let the tool do the work.
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

correct analysis! R66 is about as good as it gets in a lanolin soap. You'll get it. It's my preferred lather for true SR.

 

It's a no shave day for me today. Too much going on, and I got a late start. I am lucky just to skim enough to keep up on the thread today. I hope everyone is having a great day.

 

Razor: Timeless SB 0.95, w/ TRH5 Dimpled
Blade: Personna Star (2) Made in Great Britain
Brush: El Druida Ebony Zebra w/Manchurian
Soap: Route 66 Cavendish
Aftershave: Floid Blue

The razor, blade, brush, soap, and after shave preformed excellent tonight. Three passes with a minor touch up for a near BBS.

 

Lovely setting Doug. That brush. Oh my goodness. That brush.

 

Wow.

 

It almost makes you miss what a cool looking razor that is. Almost.

 

Wonderful picture, Doug!

 

Good to see the brush arrived safely at its new home. I used the same grip when I was working on the profile. I hope it serves you well!
