February 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

After seeing all these on-topic posts, I shall go grab some Ingram and get woke.

 

She did well to keep a straight face.
After all that intellectualism I had to step down slowly.
Here, try this!

 

Super cool Black and Whites, Gentlemen.

 

We're setting sail to the place on the map
from which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
by the light of the crosses that burned.
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
and the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need.
You sail away from the light of the world on this trip, baby.
You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You will pay tomorrow....

 

Thank you. I like this bowl a lot and appreciate your wishes. I’m just sitting down to dinner in an airport. Life is a little crazy

 

I may not have given plasma in College, but I do recall some Everclear with Purple Tang. It may have partially explained the extra year in undergrad...

 

Everclear got banned at Bama in 93. No idea why.

Everclear + Gatorade = new BAC records

 

Everclear was never really legal in BC, but a few trips up north for a summer job in University got me close enough to Hyder, Alaska to pick up a couple of cases to take back to Victoria.
I think I made some sort of Dean’s list...the kind where they take an active role in making sure you are getting certain grades. How nice of them.

 

So nice I used it twice: my shave for the last two days.

Stirling Boar
Lisa's Natural Somali Rose Soap
Weck Sextoblade
Thayers Rose Witch Hazel

One leisurely pass and done.
Very nice.

Bama banned it in the dorms by name. Kids would go to keggers, then get the bright idea that an everclear nightcap is the right way to spend 72 hours in an ICU.

 

Wanna do our posts tomorrow as beatnik poets?

 

It's going to take me a while to catch up on 14 pages, but oh well.

Last night I had my shower/shave, with the Usual Suspects for right now.

Current Williams (in a GERMS mug from Houston Museum of Natural Science)
VDH Boar - even though I have other brushes, I've been just working this brush as I go through different soaps.
Post-WWII Aristocrat
Dumped the Personna blade (dollar store) after two uncomfortable but decent shaves. (The hair was gone, but I wasn't happy) The second shave was bad enough I was dreading this one.
Went back to Astra SP.

Even with the lingering after effects of the previous blade, the Astra proved itself again. Clean shave, no additional irritation. I'm seeing if I can use up the Williams as part of this focus round.

 

Great lineup Dan. What do you think of the Schick I1?

Wonderful setup for Menthol Monday and as usual a great picture.

 

Thank you Jason. I borrowed a couple of my wife's serving bowls to use as SOTD props this week.

 

I have the tube in my sights for total usage.

 

I'm game to try.

Inspired by @clint64, I dug out the PdP. I’m not sure why I don’t use it more often. I think the small tin just sort of makes me not as interested in using it. It is really pretty slick, nice scent, has a great post shave feel, and the quad milled puck weighs about seven and a half pounds, and lasts forever. I don’t think of it as quite a top tier soap, but it maybe could be if a guy spent some time with it, getting the water just right. It has a pretty tight window between turning shiny and disappearing. All in all though, I do enjoy it.

I am not sure there isn’t something wrong with my Ming Shi. I have a different clone I bought a while back, and it is noticeably more aggressive. This thing when cranked up, isn’t any more efficient than a DE 89. I need to look at the blade gap, and possibly disassemble it to clock it around another turn. All I know Is that the Futur I used to have, and the NT Vigour clone would/will both eat your face is you are careless. Not so with this new one.

 

I think she was performing in the key of MasterLock.

Hey, just because I walked past your house heading south doesn't mean I was migrating.

Fortran 77, but close enough.

 

Lord - that brings back memories. (not of that period - of the comic)
