Another frosty photo! I like it Rick!

 

Looks good to me, Chris!

 

Nice shot, Jim! Is that a boar knot in the ER our the cashmere?

 

Nice Fat Friday, Perry!

 

Glad you got some relief, Clint!

 

Very nice Mark!

 

Nice setup, Brian!

 

Looking good!

 

I'm trying to see if I can manage with the mobile variation of TSD over tapatalk. So far, I don't like it

 

Thank you Andrew.

 

I found it harder to use the mobile version as well. On the iPhone, I found using Chrome browser and going to TSD to be the most like the desktop.

I was using the mobile layout. I don't like. I think the vintage layout may be best

 

Isn't there a way to change the appearance from mobile to another theme? It would give the look of the desktop, just like doing it on a PC.

Hello 30 Day Brothers!

I broke out the Mongoose this morning for the start of my August focus. I plan to use Feather Pro blades for the first couple of weeks and then switch over to Feather Super Pro blades.

I enjoyed a nice two-pass plus touch-up shave this morning. I did a lot of blade buffing on my neck during the second pass, and that seemed to work very well. It will take a few shaves to reacquaint myself with the weight of the Mongoose. I had a couple of small weepers that closed with my cool water rinse. The LE brush has been my main brush since June 28. I've never been a huge fan of synthetic knots, but my experience with this brush has been fantastic. I've learned to load a good amount of shaving cream directly to the center of the knot, wet my face, and gradually build the lather on my face. If I take my time and keep working water into the mixture, I end up with a fantastic lather. I just love how the handle feels in my hand. It is a great all around brush, for sure. It's made even more special by its connection to the 30DC.

I used up a tube of KMF unscented cream and a bottle of Thayer's Lavender witch hazel this week. A couple of weeks ago, I used up a 16-ounce tub of unrefined shea butter. Do I get cookies, brownie points, or unicorns for the herioc effort?

I hope you all have a great Friday and are looking forward to a fun weekend!

 

Thank you!
