Nov 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus

That's wonderful, Clint! UK is a fine school, and many of my friends are UK grads. Lexington is a very nice place to live. Maya will soon be in the land of BASKETBALL! I am very happy for her - exciting times ahead!
But, oh man, talk about a house divided...Georgia, Alabama, and Kentucky fans living under the same roof.

 

It will be interesting on game weekends for sure.

You know, with all of these scrapbooking backgrounds, maybe we should get you to make commemorative 30DC scrapbooks for everyone. They would go well with the brushes @jtspartan made.

I’ve already sent a donation of fine shaving items to your PAC

 

Monday shave:

Today's cream sample was more like a tripled milled soap, it took some effort to get it lathered. It did perform excellent and it will get the straight razor test tomorrow. AN outstanding shave, very smooth and very clase, i.e. epic.

Razor: Joris (GSB)
Brush: Simpson Duke 3
Pre: Proraso
Soap: Mystery sample K
AS: Fine Vetiver AS, L’Occitane Cade
Scent: Guerlain Vetiver

November 26 - Pot luck shaves

Razor - 1946-47 Gillette Aristocrat
Blade - (2)
Pre-shave - Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Soap - Stirling Ozark Mountain
Brush - Jayaruh #46
Post - Alum

So, I barely survived using the Voskhod in the Aristocrat last night, coming away with a perfect BBS by sheer luck, after @wristwatchb challenged me to try it. Talk about pressure! So what happens next? @Screwtape ups the pressure by suggesting I might get two - or even three - consistent shaves with it! What?!?! That's crazy talk there! Well, who am I to turn down a challenge, right? Even one as totally unrealistic as this one. But wait, I think I can make it a bit more challenging. Let's change to soap up to something a bit risky. Say...........Stirling, yeah that will do it. And add the pre-shave soap just because. Switch to the JR46 and yeah, I think we have the recipe for disaster. I can only hope and pray I have the skills to survive this one. (Anyone buying this? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler? )

Well, I'm happy to report that, against all odds, I managed to get a BBS out of this incredibly difficult and unorthodox setup tonight. Don't ask me how. Apparently luck is still on my side and if I decide to risk it all and try it again tomorrow night all I can say is I may have proved I need heavy medication. In the meantime I'm just happy to have barely survived such a difficult challenge with such a perfect result. It's almost like DECember is already here! Talk about CRAZY!

OneBlade Genesis
Modified Gem PTFE (1)
Rubberset 400 #3 with WSP HMW
Nuàvia Blu

​

I am feeling a little rough this morning with a good amount of abdominal pain most likely due to the double layer of hernia mesh. The big 400 made short work of lathering the Blu. The OneBlade Genesis is the perfect razor for such a morning. Three passes and touch ups along my jawline and neck almost let me catch the baby. For today that is an A+ shave. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

 

Nice photo and lineup Doug!
