May 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I have done that when when showing off a loaded razor. Now I treat them like a pistol. Always loaded and pointed away LOL

 

In more than 25 years of active shaving (30 years of shaving), I can't think of any time I've been _this_ stupid. That's what I'll call it, because it certainly wasn't ignorance. My brain just wasn't working.

 

I pulled up the WSP Sandalwood for one day this coming week, temp. Supposed to be up and down. Lots of soap still remaining.

 

Geez. I can't believe people are _liking_ my admission of stupidity. Schadenfreude, I guess.

 

It not if, but when. Accidents and mistakes happen. Aren't you glad this isn't a power tool forum?

 

We always get a kick out of personal growth. We've all been there.

Have a magnificent Monday!

Beautiful photo. Looks like you're making a dent in the brain bowl.

I might ask a question about Hungarian aftershave. Is that what's in your photo?

 

Wait, let me get this straight. You were surprised that members of the 30 DC like stupidity? Really? I'd be surprised we haven't made you our king yet except that the examples of stupidity here didn't go much deeper, farther and wider than any sort of careless nick. You're gonna have to do better than that, @Bookworm !

 

It's not the enjoyment of it that surprises me. It's that they're _upvoting_ the post admitting it. "Woo, something dumb! Do it again!" Like ending up in the middle of an intersection at a red light wasn't idiotic enough (yes, that happened less than 30 minutes later).

Alum and TSD Aftershave Milk - Sandalwood and Lavender

I enjoyed a rare weekend away from home. Went down to Weyburn, a smaller city about 4 hours drive south of Saskatoon, for a cousin's 70th birthday bash. Stopped halfway in Regina to tour a snake exhibit in the provincial natural history museum, then down to the evening party. Stayed overnight with another cousin and back home this afternoon. It was a nice break.

I shaved early in the morning on Saturday before leaving and then this evening after I got home.

This time I shaved with the Black Beauty. I used to prefer it to the Fatboy, but compared to the shorter Slim, it now seems just a bit clumsy. I think I would rank the three now by preference as Slim, then Fatboy, then Black Beauty. They all are excellent razors though and I expect I will keep all three in my rotation. In fact, since my Fatboy and BB are both grungy, although the Slim is in excellent shape, I think I will eventually send all three out as a group to Delta Echo or North Shore Razors to be done up in GunKote / CeraKote as a matching set.

I used the same gear for both shaves and got near BBS results both times. The TSD Aftershave Milk leaves a great skin feel for the finish and both the Sandalwood and the Lavender are solid scent experiences.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

 

That's kinda what we do here in between the occasional shaving tip. Try shaving with a twig or a blade taped to your finger and see what happens. If you can't be embraced and applauded for your stupidity here, where can you be? By the way, do you have any dumber shaves ideas than the twig or blade taped to a finger? If so you've got a willing and enthusiastic audience behind you, and an Awards show to back you up! The cliff awaits, my friend!

 

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
