May 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

There was a thread on this topic some time ago, let me see if i can find it

 

Here it is:
Injecting a DE blade instead of an injector blade

 

All good. I don't remember if you have one but a trimmed DE blade also works great in the Supply SE.

Thank you. Do you still have my address or do I need to pm it again?

I don't have a Supply, but maybe there are other on this thread that might take a crack at it!

 

I think I still have it.

 

I used the standard Injector Key to open up the head and just inserted the trimmed DE blade from the opposite direction (there wasn't a blade in the razor).

 

Apparently, the Dorco blade got it's name from the Dorks who came up with their blade naming scheme. I just got a tuck to try out the prime based on the reviews. Now I gotta go home and look at the pack to see if it is the prime, the prime prime, the sub-prime prime... Dorks!

As for what north Koreans shave with, my first few guesses would be:
1. Backwash from a missile test launch. (A bit of a sandblasty shave.)
2. Backdraft created by the explosion of a failed missle launch. (Provides a very close shave, but burns a bit.)
3. The melting of whiskers generated from nuclear emissions from the local nuclear projectile plant.
4. Anything that the crazy little dictator who runs the food bank and the TV station tells you to.

I've been holding back on pulling the trigger on this for at least a month. Is there is sample of this in the box headed my way? If not, this and some sort of tart cherry smell are going on my list.

 

What was the shave like? Injector blades are thicker than DE so I would assume it felt a little different.

 

It is on deck for my next shave, so I'll let you know.

 

In the Supply SE it's a lot more aggressive (mild plate is best), which I think is a good thing as far as that razor is concerned.

Magic Shavette for Mayhem on the way

 

That's a pretty good day really! It will become automatic as you do it more.

 

Awesome April
Days 29-30



It was awesome. Each day was good, and any month with Arko is fun by me! Had company in town this weekend and ended up being a little more busy than I thought, but when the tide is high you go with it, and the crowd wanted to go out in Denver all weekend. Will jump on later after I read the first 130 posts....

Have a Magic May!

With "The look"?

 

I like it!

 

Thank you Andrew. The brush is huge.

 

I decided to start this month out with a sentimental shave
Two years ago I received my first straight via a PIF by @rmcintyre84
I ruined the edge on this razor with my early stropping efforts and has sent it to the to do pile long ago. This weekend I decided to pull it out and hone it up using my fairly newly acquired honing skills. I am pleased to say it shaves beautifully.
This month I am going to focus entirely on my honing and stropping skills.

Wow! Still early on day one and 139 posts. This is going to be a wild month.
It's time to get MAYhem on a roll. We have fourteen participants signed up for Sayuri shave day.
I'm thinking next Saturday the 6th would be a nice day to do it. (Adam will have time to prep his soft skin)
Let's start by seeing if everyone has their weapon. Here is the list of participants. Please sound off if your razor hasn't arrived.

Does Saturday give you guys enough time to get your affairs in order? If so, let's do it!

 

Traffic between home and the hospital will be less on a weekend, so I say go for it! Although secretly I was hoping we could push it back three weeks or so.
