June 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Yes it does!!!

 

This might set my personal record for the least number of shaves from a puck of soap. The previous record was B&M Latha at 27 shaves. I am not sure this one will make it that far.

Arko
Satin Tip The Purest
Blades Grim Smolder AS

Another fantastic shave last night with the Pre-War Tech. This razor is so smooth and efficient enough to get the job done. Three passes were enough bring home the baby. I finished up with a splash of smolder and went to bed smelling great and feeling smooth. Have a great day my friends!

 

Thanks, Clint! It's going by quickly. We're heading down to the Gulf Coast this afternoon for some vacation time. Can't wait!

 

I love that razor as well, Andrew. Great shaves!

 

What did you think about the cream?

I feel your pain. Part of my Focus this month is sticking with a soap for ...a whole week! This must be how shavers felt in the olde days, or back when I only had one can of goo at a time.

It is considering they were produced between 1958-1964. Chris @Bama Samurai gifted it to me as my pre-Bunny intro to injectors. You never forget the first one & it's a permanent piece in my collection.

 

Welcome to the South Coast! Hope you find a sunny beach if that was in your plans. It's doing the Spring Time thing right now.

 

Enjoy the trip.

 

Grew up in AZ. Mesquite is what I am used to. A little bit extra brown sugar in the rub, and an occasional mop with an apple cider/ lemon juice mix mellows out the bitterness from the mesquite. Moved to the Kansas City area 9 years ago. Great BBQ, but nobody does any beef except brisket here. Beef Ribs are my favorite, but a shoulder roast can be fantastic too. As a side note, paying for mesquite is insane to me. It grows like a weed back home. Southwest airlines doesn't charge for a checked bag. I brought back 44 pounds of small mesquite chips a few trips ago.

 

We got caught in that storm yesterday, which caused a few delays at the airport. I am not sure how much rain felt, but quite a few streets in my little town under water.

 

Jun 5 SOTD:

Razorock Plissoft Brush
La Toja Shave Stick
Gillette Diplomat
Voskhod (3)
Stirling Unscented PSB
Adidas Dynamic Pulse AS

Back to my Voskhod blade today, and it was as smooth as the first two shaves. It was a little bit of a rushed shave as my baby was tugging on my leg to get me to pick her up. That is different for me on a business trip, and I couldn't be happier about it. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Beautiful photo and a great travel setup.

 

I see you have some never ending La Toja too! Cool pick, Jim. Enjoy your trip!

 

My 30DC LE brush just arrived. It's beautiful, feels good in the hand and the Cashmere knot is unbelievably soft. I'll be using this tonight.

 

Thank you, Clint! A good shave always makes travel a bit better.

 

Awesome brush!

 

Thank you, Andrew. La Toja certainly lasts a long time, and it is a great soap as well.

 

Thanks, Clint. I don't know what the exact definition of mint condition is, but this has to be pretty close!

 

The brush looks fantastic.
