Nov 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus

Thanks Jim!

 

November 14 SOTD:

Stirling Boar Brush
@Vlasta Sample F
Schick Type E3
Stirling Unscented PSB
Barbasol Pacific Rush AS

I changed the blade out in the E3 and was rewarded with a two pass DFS, just missing the baby on two little patches on my neck. This sample cream was nice, as I got a wet, slick lather. The scent wasn't my favorite, but it worked well for this morning. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Who woulda thunk @RyX and you would reconnect here on TSD?

 

Excellent photograph Clint. Have a great day.

 

SOTD November 14, 2017

Prep: Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: GEM stainless
Razor: GEM Pushbutton
Brush: Surrey badger
Lather: Soap Commander Fortitude
Post: Witch hazel, Jeeves of Hudson Street Tobacco and Bay Leaf aftershave
WTG, touch up

Nice and comfortable shave this morning with a Tobacco Tuesday theme. Soap Commander delivered yet again and this Jeeves tobacco splash is quickly becoming a favorite. My wife even commented last week that she enjoyed the scent. That's a huge win!

In any case, the shave was smooth and comfortable and now on to tackle the day. Have a great one!

 

Terrific picture, Jim!

Congratulations, Brian! My sister and her family live in Boise and love it. Best of luck in getting your house ready for the market.

 

Congrats Brian! Idaho is a beautiful place. I hope you and your Bride will be very happy there. Will you be closer to your new grandchild there?

 

Tuesday morning November 14 - almost all Supply again

Shower: Supply Lost Provence Deep Body Wash (also shampoo)
Supply Single Edge injector V 2.0 / Personna ( 3)
Semogue Owners Club cherrywood boar brush
Supply Ultra Lather Shaving Cream - Lost Provence
Supply Healing Post Shave - Lost Provence

I repeated with Supply products today, except I lathered with my boar brush instead of the Supply synthetic. I also started by trying the matching Supply shower wash. It seemed to do a decent job both as a body soap wash and a shampoo. I like the Lost Provence scent - a mix of lavender, blue sage and basil - so having it for both the shave and the preceding shower was nice.

I still haven't figured out the Supply ultra lather creams yet. They are more like a croap - softer than the original squishy tallow soap but harder than a TOBS or Proraso cream. And they come in a narrow glass jar so you have to scoop out the amount you want to use rather than brushloading in a tub until you get it right. So far, I haven't got it quite right - my finger scoop is still too stingy. I think I will start using an actual little scoop with the jars until I finally get it right.

Today's lather was okay. At least it was slick enough to protect, but it was very thin and runny compared to yesterday's lather with the tub-loaded soap. And working the inadequate load with a thirsty boar instead of a synthetic brush didn't help.

I only did a one pass shave today. I concentrated on using no pressure and enjoyed an irritation-free shave despite the runny lather. Nowhere near a BBS though; more like bottom end of DFS. But it's good enough for what I need to do today, and tomorrow will be another shave.

 

Congrats Brian @mrchick! Sounds like an awesome adventure. Cudos for embracing the journey and getting all out of it that you can.

 

Pavel, Idaho may work out for you as well. Just between you and me....and of course, Boris and Yuri.

 

Lovely picture Charlie.

I wish vendors would put the soap into containers big enough to use properly.

Thanks, Clint! Are you feeling better after your recent flare up?
