DECember 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

My Fat Boy is coded E1 so first quarter of 1959. My Slim is stamped I2 so second quarter of 1963. My Black Beauty is P3 so third quarter of 1970.

 

Wonderful photo Brian. I sometimes forget how good the EJ 89 looks.

Great photo Andrew. That is certainly a Cruiser Class brush.

 

Shaves great! A touch more agg than US Aristocrat.

 

Thank you Gentlemen.

 

Thank you Clint. I sometimes forget what a nice shaver it is. I’m BBS today.

 

Thank you, Roby!

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

Thank you, Andrew!

 

Thank you, Dan!

 

Great picture, Andrew! That barber pole hand looks great with the X3.

 

Thanks Andrew!

 

Thank you, Dan!

 

Aye... I completely understand, but I decided to put all of my DE razors away when I started with this last month.

Currently, I only have a Clog Pruf, OCMM, and Bullet Tip out and have only used the CP recently.

 

Great description of an outstanding shave, Andrew! Well-done!

Razor: Stick Schick Injector
Blade: Chick
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
Cream: KMF fragrance-free
Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

Another Injector shave, this one with the Stick Schick. It's not really a decadent razor, except for its unusualness. The L-type head is pretty mild and the handle, while novel, seems somewhat plasticky. Two passes to a high DFS with no issues.

 

Thanks, Jim!

Thank you, Dan!

 

John, have you run a Proline in an L type ?

 

I'm pretty sure I have with good results. I'll probably go with one the next time I replace the blade.

 

Good morning crew!

Today’s shave was brought to me by the following:
Razor: Gillette Fat Boy
Brush: Stirling Plisson
Soap: Reef Point Espresso
Bowl: WCS
Blade: Astra SP

Whew...my concentration abilities were much better than yesterday.

The Reef Point Espresso soap was one of the many samples that Jared @PickledNorthern sent recently. It’s only my first try at a Reef Point soap, but it does seem to be very good. Had I given it a little more water while lathering, I think I could’ve coaxed a little more out of the performance. Even still, it was slick enough and the cushioning was decent enough. As far as the scent goes, it’s not totally my thing. I LOVE the smell of coffee. I find that anything coffee scented, such as a candle, usually falls short. Same thing here. I don’t dislike the scent. It falls in the “Ok” spectrum for me. Don’t get me wrong, cuz I ain’t dissin’ the soap performance, it’s still good stuff!

The shave itself was nice. Much better than yesterday - and, no blood. Three passes and I’m good to go.





Hope everyone has a great Wednesday! We’re halfway to the weekend fellas!
