August 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I appreciate your kind thoughts Jim. Thank you.

 

I agree with Clint 100%. The 0.95 OC is an excellent razor in all aspects.

 

Great picture Doug. It was so good I actually went to the Oleo soap website to check out their soaps.

 

I can see why you would like the razor Jared. It is gorgeous.

 

Great score. Congrats.

It was a nice shave to start my work week. I went back to the Slim and Big Ben combination for the 6th shave with this blade. It was nice and smooth, although I did manage to open a couple of the cuts from yesterday. A little cold water splash and everything was OK. The menthol felt great and woke me a up a bit. I hope everyone has a great day!

Hard to get going this morning. Mondays are tough! But the shave was good. This sample of Courage keeps on keeping on. The E2 injector works really well and is great for days like today where I have more than 24 hours of beard growth. Smooth and comfortable in the end. No complaints, other than having to get up and get going!

Have a great day!

 

I love the colors in the photo. I hope you have a great Monday.

 

I'll have to give it a try. Where do you get your lanolin? It's not something I've looked for but I don't recall seeing it on shelves locally.

Like Perry, I am moving very slow this morning. Actually I just be happy that I am moving. Back to work so the the Genesis is up for duty. Two passes with skin stretching and I have a near perfect shave. I managed to get one more splash out of the F&C Shambala. I am sad to see it go since the company is no longer in business but on the bright side there are other aftershaves to try. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

 

Great looking lineup. The Slim looks to be in fantastic shape.

 

Thank you Clint. I have 3 of their soaps plus the Timeless Shave soap which is also made by Oleo. I've been very happy with all of them so far. Yesterday was my first use of the Pucker.

 

Very good photo of a stunning brush Clint.

 

Looks to me like an excellent way to start the week Brian.

 

Thanks, Clint! I was expecting something like 8-10 shaves from this sample. But that was #20 and there is at least one more shave in there, probably two. Pretty good value!
