If you have the computing skills, easiest way I've found to keep the photo decent sized for good details is to save it as a GIF. Key is keep it under 1MB. You can experiment in The Post Testing area.

 

At least we didn’t tape a razor blade to our finger and shave with it. (on the 5th of July.)

Unrelated: @NCoxSTL, is it too early to recruit for Mayhem yet?

 

Pics or it didn't happen?

 

Being from Canada and all I was just admiring the way you taped your handle, reminds me of the blade on a hockey stick lol

 

A feather eh? I'm scared to handle one of those even while it still in the wrapper lol

 

Got the pic posted . Edited my original post and added pic . Thanks for your help

At least 2.5

 

That's actually a really solid lineup. And that brush will hold more than you think. A solid 95% of my shaves I face lather.

If you hang around through March you will see a plethora of shenanigans.

Not sure who originated it, but I did it last year. And got a pretty decent shave out of it. Hit me up after a couple of months of mastering your current tools and I will hook you up with a shavette to practice with.

Shavettes and Jeeves January!

January 24

Razor - Magic Shavette
Blades - (1)
Soap - Stirling Iced Coffee
Brush - Stirling Two Band Synthetic
Post - Alum, Styptic

Only a week to go in January and I haven't used the Magic shavette yet. So, here it is! This was a gift from the Yakuza along with a pack of Derby blades for it and I've used it before with success. Let's give it a few days before we end the month.

I got a Stirling two band synthetic brush in the mail today. It was one of the "seconds" from their website due to a scratched logo. Nice discount on it and honestly, the "scratched logo" is nearly invisible. Looks like a good brush to me. And, it lathered the Iced Coffee soap perfectly. I love this soap more every time I use it. Not only the scent but the consistency of the lather. It has a bit of a mocha tint to it as well and as creamy as it is along with the scent it's almost tempting to try a spoonful. But, logic prevailed. It's soap, not creamy ice cream stuff. But oh baby.

The shavette definitely provides a great shave. The Derby blade is very effective and I thought I was on the road to the perfect shave. However, my weak left hand decided to lose it just a bit and I managed to dig the tip in for about a 1/4" cut on my left cheek. Bled nicely through the shave and finally stopped with alum and styptic. It barely stung when it happened but was a nice bleeder. Hey, shavettes carry a bit of risk, but the DFS shave I got after two passes was definitely worth it. Looking forward to a repeat tomorrow night. Without blood on steel.

Excellent reply that saves me from saying anything. Except that yes, I would be happy to point you to the reliable Russian sellers if you choose to go that way for the Russian Steel.

Yup, I used white hockey tape on my popsicle stick razor last year. There are a few of us Canucks on this 30DC.

 

I love it!
