September 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I know it can be difficult to unplug sometimes, Perry. But the reward is well worth the effort!

That is one thing I can say, folks around here have had a pretty good attitude, for the most part. The family who is living with us has been really upbeat about all of this. Much more than I would have been had I lost my house.

 

Amen! I'm getting better at it little by little. Thanks for the encouragement.

 

Very well said.

Glad to hear you and your family is safe.

 

That's not a bad conclusion.

I'm sure it helps to have someone offer up their home in a time of need. That's a huge gift.

Smells like the Drug Store SEptember!!!! (Stirling Booster)

September 12

Razor - Schick Injector E2
Blade - (2)
Soap - Stirling Electric Sheep
Brush - WCS Synthetic
ASOD - The Veg

Second shave for the E2 Injector following the usual Tuesday Head Shave. I'm thinking about seeing if ESPN might offer a Tuesday night slot. Tuesday Night Head Shaves!! Maybe ESPN 3.

Went with the West Coast brush and the Electric Sheep tonight. Second shave with it and I am just as impressed as I was with the first. Quite a unique scent but it's rather invigorating. There's lemon in there and that sparks a bit of an Arko image but the citronella and eucalyptus turn it into something very unique. I like it. This one may get ordered in a full tub.

Two passes and some touch up for a nice DFS with less burn from the Alum. I made a point of keeping my grip toward the end of the handle to avoid adding any pressure and the razor responded perfectly. Nice shave to get ready for a new week. And the Veg will be a great start out the door in the morning.

SEptember Switch up

Tabac Original soap
Oceans Boar brush
Osaka suribachi bowl
Schick Type J-1, Chick
Alum, S.E.L.R. AS


Tabac Tuesday happens. I think I'll make it A Thing. Dampened this vintage German boar brush with it's original knot and loaded, into the ceramic bowl for a successful lather. I don't recall Tabac ever not making a great lather. Having conquered The Bunny, I grabbed up the first Schick Injector I ever used. It's a gift from Chris @Bama Samurai I used to train up before Tom's @twhite prototype made it's West Coast visit to my den. I do believe @Rufus T. managed the Pass-Around. So with The bunny in Retrograde, The Shick J-1 is in Ascension. Long handled, easy to find angle, smooth shaver. Three passes for the win! Alum swiped as smooth as a FatBoy shave. Splashed on a half & half blend of Pinaud Special Reserve and English Leather.
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

Wednesday shave

I so as I felt the blade glide across my face I knew this would be a good shave. The lather was spot on and so was the edge. Four passes to an epic shave.

Welcome back, NK h-bombs notwithstanding! Fat Boy will settle down now, @Keithmax is back on the peninsula. I am sure he thought it was fun while it lasted.

 

Time to get back to a regular diet, exercise, and straight razor shaving. Not too worried about the fat boy up north. Spent some time in NYC and South Carolina, city and country.

 

That's a good sign. Whatever you did, keep doing it!

 

I like that decanter!
Found an empty one at a flea market and poured in my New Old Spice.

 

Please tell me you consumed grits at some point.

 

@RyX.

 

Grits, BBQ, black yeyed peas, corn bread ....
