February 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Glad I could help out with all that!

 

February 5 SOTD:

Ever-Ready Brush
Arko Cool SC
ER 1914
Stirling Unscented PSB
Irisch Moos AS

I am honestly glad I didn't use a shavette this morning. My arms were so shaky, the 1914 was interesting enough and actually left me with a couple of weepers. Still got a DFS level closeness, but it required quite a bit of concentration.

I have had this tube of Arko Cool for a while, so it will be my gym morning target until it is done. It is a decent cream, but I prefer others more and this will not be back in the rotation. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Great photo Jim.

Fine Lavender


​

A great drama free shave this morning. The big Shavemac Flat Top loaded and lathered up the Reef Point Tranquility. The scent of peppermint over a lavender base really added to the shave experience. Three passes and touch ups ended in a near perfect shave. A splash of Fine Lavender and I think I might be ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

 

Day 75

I probably should have stepped up to a new blade to shave 4 days growth. End result were not bad just a little tugging here and there. New blade tomorrow.

 

Thank you, Clint!

Fantastic picture!

 

SOTD February 5, 2018

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Schick
Razor: Schick L5 'Revere' injector
Brush: Stirling Kong synthetic
Lather: C.O. Bigelow cream
Post: Witch hazel, Barbasol Pacific Rush aftershave
WTG, touch up

Nice and easy shave this morning. I bowl lathered the Bigelow cream and slowly added water and ended with really slick and creamy lather. Beautiful stuff. Swiped away a day and a half of growth with the Revere injector and all felt great. A chilly finish from the Barbasol Pacific Rush finished up a nice shave to start the work week.

Have a great day, everyone!

How did you know? It’s also great for scraping paint and cutting carpet. I was hoping Fuzzy wouldn’t notice the Chanel due to the Willams and the Lather Catcher.

It’s a Rudy Vey made out of bog oak and a flat top Shavemac D01. It has allot of backbone, like boar, it just costs more but it will destroy even the hardest soaps.

 

Cool photo Jim!

 

Great photo and setup Mark!

 

February 5th
Gillette NEW LC w Nacet (4)
TGN Synthetic/ Mahogany
Palmolive Menthol Cream
Thayers
Proraso Blue ASB

4th day with the NEW/Nacet combo. I took a pic with the Polsilver pack, but decided at the last minute to get another day out of the Nacet. For favourites month and Menthol Monday, I went with what is probably my favourite cream. This really is a top notch cream. For anyone who hasn’t tried it, you do have to enjoy a little menthol though, as it is a little chillier than Proraso green. Whipped up a super lather and had 3 enjoyable passes. Finished with the blue balm, which I wouldn’t call a favourite, but is a good match for the soap.
Have a great day all!

 

Wonderful picture and lineup Perry.

Fantastic lineup Mark. Great looking classic Simpson.

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

Great looking photo and lineup.
