January 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

That brush catches the eye.....

 

Thanks, Fuzzy. Until I got my 30DC LE, it was my go to brush. It’s a beat up Dubl Duck M-2 with a well used knot from an Omega 10066. I’ve used this one enough that it’s softer than a lot of badger knots.

 

Nice. I have a double duck #5 with a high loft boar. I really think I need to put a lower loft boar in it. A well broke in boar is a thing of beauty!!!

 

I'm sure it does(remind you of home).

Quick and easy one pass shave after a close shave yesterday afternoon. Jeeves is some terrific soap. The new Personna blade worked quite well with the Schick 66. It's been fun to try some blades with these razors this month.

School was closed again today and I'm scheduled to attend a conference in town. But our little boy has a runny nose and couldn't go to Mother's Day Out, so I'm at home for a little while watching him so my wife can go run some errands. I'll get down to the conference this afternoon. Won't miss much honestly.

Have a great day!

Razorock Mudder Focker SS

Stirling Barbershop AS

Went back to my raffle prize winner, the short-handled Black Beauty. Another first time soap earlier this morning (there are reasons why I’m doing a ‘NB 18- I have stuff I’m not even getting to...), the Mudder Focker. This soap came via a trade (really a PIF until I get off my arse and get stuff turned...) and is my first use of any razorock soaps. I whipped up a great looking lather, but I can’t comment on the scent as my nose is completely plugged this morning.
My only complaint is that the razor didn’t glide very well over this soap. I’ll try to get it slicker next time. No issues post shave with dryness or feel.
Finished with the Barbershop, which did penetrate my schnoze a bit.
Have a great day all!

 

Wow. That is a great photo Doug. You must really be enjoying the Sabre.

 

Thank you, Clint! He's still moving around at 100mph. He's a busy kid. You just have to run after him with kleenex!

 

Great looking lineup and photo Jason. I am sure you will get the soap dialed in shortly. I hope you are feeling better soon.

 

Love the Gentleman. I also take mine on the road, as it isn’t my wife’s fave.

Some great looking set ups there, Keith.

Sounds like way too much work without enough benefit to getting it right.

Great set up, Mark.

The Jeeves is certainly top tier soap, Gentlemen!

 

Thank you Clint. I am really enjoying the L2 as compared the L1.

Its been a rough morning at work. How are you all doing ? I've see some great photos and shaves posted this morning!

 

I hope the day gets better for you Andrew.

 

I also hope your day improves Andrew. Hang in there!!!

 

Thank you gents, I think we've finally got the situation under control. Knock on wood!

 

Hope it gets better. Working a day shift here. Building water is still frozen.....but that is no big issue.
