February 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thank you Jim.

Great lineup and photo. I am looking forward to your thoughts on the razor once you have used it further.

 

Thank you, Clint! I definitely look forward to using it a bit more. I have a few more razors to try this week, so I may have to wait for a few days to try this one again.

Easy and comfortable shave this morning. I finished off this sample of Wholly Kaw Jamestown Gentleman (@Drygulch) but I don't think it would qualify. Got five shaves from it so I doubt it was an ounce or more. Maybe I can get half credit!

Nice tobacco shave and good results.

Tough start at work this morning. We were summoned to an emergency faculty meeting first thing, which is never a good sign. A student was killed in an automobile and train accident last night. We have very few details at the moment. He was a senior. Really sad and a difficult way to begin a day. I didn't personally know the student but that doesn't matter when tragedy occurs. Today might be a tough day for the whole school. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers if you will.

Enjoy your day!

 

Nice picture, Perry. Sorry to hear about the student. You and your school will be in my prayers.

Excellent picture, Mark!

 

Good shave this morning! I hated emergency faculty meetings. So sorry to hear you lost a student. Never an easy thing. My thoughts & prayers go out to you and your students. Let them talk about it!

 

Thanks Jim! Have a terrific Tuesday!

 

Awesome, Brian. Your Bride's a keeper, and your shave cabinet is snazzy!

 

Prayers for the school and the friends and family of the student.

 

I'm sorry you experienced a bad cut with the SS. Hope it heals quickly. I've done the same thing on my face shaves. I now check the knob on my vintage Gillettes a couple of times during a typical shave.

 

I’m sorry to hear of the student’s death. I am sure you’ll be there for the students that need you. My prayers are with you and the school.

KMF will face lather well. Stick with it, and you'll get it! It is a surprisingly good shave cream. We keep a container in the shower. My Bride likes it, and I will use it sometimes too.

 

That’s sad. Prayers for everyone affected by this tragedy.

 

I classify it as medium in aggressiveness, I have not tried other modern Gem based razors. I rank them Cobra > Asylum Rx >ATT > Rocnel SE-G > Mongoose

Sorry to hear that sad news, I’m sure it’s a very tough day. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

Thanks, Charlie! I’ll keep trying.

 

Ouch, John. Heal quickly! We've all made the same mistake at one time or another. Your Supply Co injector is a beauty!

 

Thanks, Keith! I don’t recall ever hearing of this razor brand until now. Always nice to learn something new.

Another cool pic!

Nice set-up, Jim.

Mark, that’s a great picture!

 

Thank you, all!

 

Great photo, Mark!
