Great setup, Mark! I'm really liking these barbershop pole brush handles from you and @Douglas Carey!

 

Thanks for the kind words Perry!

 

I use both hands, it took a while to learn but now I can shave just as good with my left as I do my right. I also second practicing without the blade in the shavette.

 

Same shave for today(1-2-18)as yesterday, with the exception of:

A.S.-Rise Cooling Balm.

In the reeeeaal cold says, this one might be an excellent choice. Not much scent, but it does the job. Couse I use it only with Rise Super Foam.

 

Sorry for your loss, of blood! Have a great day & Njoy the celebration!

 

Great picture and a gorgeous brush Mark.

First day with my raffle prize winner, the short handled Super Adjustable. I do have a long-handled SA that coincidentally is the same year and quarter. Whipped up a great Stirling lather with one of my favourite scents and thoroughly enjoyed 3 easy passes with this razor. I set it a 5 with the intention of going up to setting Neal over the next few shaves. I am basically smooth after a few neck touch ups. Finished with the Jeeves AS, as it is one of the focuses this month, and it seems to pair very nicely. A nice start to the month.
Have a great day all!

 

No problem

Great looking pain sticks, Gentlemen! Sorry about the cut, but enjoy your son’s birthday, Jim!

 

Some very fine pics and combos to start the year, folks!

 

Good looking scene Jason.

 

Thank you, Doug.

 

Thank you Jason.

 

Well, I may join your group. I'm not sure if I'm dedicated enough to stick to it; I have the attention span of a three year old after a pound of M&M's.

 

Welcome @Enrico to the 30 Day Crew! There's Rules, Foci, and attempts at staying on target. As long as you are interested in improving your results you have a seat on this Short Bus full of Shenninagators.
You got in early for the month so as per convention stating you goal is helpful. It lets us know what we are cheering at you about. Don't need a tub of Jeeves soap or a brand new (or old) shavettee to participate because the Theme of the Month is something the 30 DC does after we've become Shaving Adventurers.
So dish! What's your goal?

 

Thank you, Perry!

 

Nice picture! I really like the perspective with the brush handle.

 

Terrific picture, Mark!
