February 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Great picture, Bruce. MWF and Old Spice: hard to beat.

 

I've been waiting for the right moment to try Night Music. I like the scent, but its so strong that I am unsure how SWMBO will react. I think it will either be an "Oh God that's aweful" reaction or a "Come to bed" reaction. Obviously hoping for the latter.

Very nice! what blade do you like in that Weishi ?

 

Thanks! A Gillette Nacet, it has become my go to blade even for a shavette. It’s so smooth. For my taste, I haven’t found anything to beat it.

 

I too like the Nacet, I bought a few hundred of them when IB had them on sale.

 

Great picture, John!

 

The Nacet is another Russian blade that I need to try one of these days.

 

Thank you Clint!

 

February 16, 2018- Fatboy Friday

Razor: F2 Gillette 195 Adjustable (5)
Blade: Gillette Platinum Plus
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
Soap: Der Vergulde Hand
Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

It's Friday, so it's time for the Fatboy and a great shave, as always.

No further word from the AliExpress seller about the Baili.

 

I'll drop a few in an envelope for you next week.

 

Thanks Perry!!

 

I hear you loud and clear buddy. I absolutely loved Seville. Then I bought Latha and Lavanille. I was not crazy about the Latha scent but I could at least use it. Lavanille oh my. I did try to use it twice but even though the scent improved during use, I just couldn't take it. Lavanille found a home with someone who could appreciate its qualities. Since batting 1 for 3, I have not ordered another B&M soap. At some point I will likely rebuy Seville but I lost all interest in exploring his other scents.

 

Thank you Jim!
MWF with anything is hard to beat!

 

Thank you again, sir.

 

Very nice Friday shave!!
The knot on the brush looks enormous in that photo. Between you and Andrew @Linuxguile waving your Maseto brushes around today....

 

Congrats on a great Friday shave John!
Best of luck getting your razor dilemma resolved.

 

Thanks!
It does look huge; but it’s wet in the picture. (I usually take the pics after I shave.) It’s not too big on the face. It’s the softest and largest brush I have; usually I like smaller brushes.

 

Yes, they do count. Any soap over 1 oz.
