February 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Inspired by this thread, my Rocnel SE-G made an appearance. A nice shave and still working on this classic AdP soap, it is before the reformulation and smells wonderful but the performance is a notch below the tops soaps.

Great lineup Dan and even a better job at being a great son.

Thank you Dan.

 

Cool, the brush, the soap and the ASB match, very nice. Is the Mamba aggressive? It looks like it has some blade exposure.

 

Great lineup. That brush should really eat through the

Great photo Jim.

Love the black and white Perry.

Fantastic brush Mark.

Can't wait for my Rocnel SE-G to arrive.

 

I hear what you are saying, but as a guy who employs several salesmen to sell ice cream (i.e. Chief Cat Herder), trust me; nothing sells itself. Not even cookies and ice cream. If it did, I'd save a lot of money on salesmen.

No worries. The bigger issue here is that she leaves her inventory lying around the house and I have to try and avoid it.

I don't care who you are, that's funny!

You guys finishing soaps are killing me. I could shave all the carpets in my house, every pet in the neighborhood, and a few migrating sasquatches and I still wouldn't see the bottom of any of my tubs.

Despite moving a little slow this morning, I managed to have an epic shave. The hardware is some of my favorites but this was my first use of PdP soap that I received as a Christmas gift from the family. It reminds me a lot of MdC but with better post shave feel. The 3 pass shave followed by touch ups and buffing along my lower right neck ended in a prefect drama free BBS shave. A splash of Myrsol Agua Balsamica and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

 

Thank you, Clint! Your photo this morning was top notch!

Thank you Perry.

 

Whole lotta barbershop goin' on! Love it!! Awesome shot, Mark!

 

I've actually donated (not sold) over sixty gallons of plasma. I just moved to a community that seems to just buy it. I'm surprised that I am not able to find a place to donate.

 

It’s a cool razor and I’ve been happy with all the Rocnel razors I have.

Nothing like an epic shame to get your day off to a great start.

Wow that’s a whole Lotta plasma!!!

 

Yes, I have some track marks

 

Excellent picture, Mark!

 

Terrific black and white photo, Keith!

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

Beautiful picture and bowl, Clint!

 

I was afraid the Rocnel SE-G might be too aggressive for me but your answer placing it between the Cobra and Mongoose helped me decide to give it a try.

 

Thank you Jim. I borrowed some of my wife's small serving bowls for props this week.
