February 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Wow, Rick!! Talk about going above and beyond!
Thanks for doing the experiment & comparison!

 

Great video, Fuzzy! I always enjoy watching them. I just knew you’d love Electric Sheep. Top notch soap.

 

Woo hoo! Shiny goodies! Very nice haul, Neal!!

 

SOTD 2.22.2018
Head Shave Only
Pre-shave: hot shower & Nivea Men Sensitive Face Wash
Brush: Barburys synthetic
Soap: RazoRock Oil of Lavender Shaving Cream Soap
Razor: Schick G1
Blade: Schick (1)
Post-shave: Thayers Lavender WH, Nivea Men Sensitive PS Balm, Family Dollar Spice AS

I'm letting the face whiskers grow another day for GILLETTE ADJUSTABLE FRIDAY tomorrow, so I just went after the head shave this morning. I whipped up a nice lather from the RazoRock tub and applied it to the scalp. But as soon as I started to shave with the G1 I felt some tugging and I could see it wasn't cutting all of the hair. Without hesitation I loaded a new blade and proceeded on the path. The new blade performed flawlessly. A single pass, followed by some clean-up, and I was finished. Very nice.

Happy shaves, everyone!

Excellent shave, Andrew! The razor is beautiful, and the lather bowl by @jtspartan is magnificent!

Rick, thanks for taking the time to do the comparison! Well-done!

Awesome shave, Fuzzy!

I was going to ask and confirm they were both 1914s but Fuzzy @wchnu confirmed it for me in his follow-up post. They are very nice looking razors!

 

Thank you Dan!

I haven’t tried any off the other reserves, but as soon as the large bottle of Gents Gin is available again, I’m gonna get some. It’s got a little lime in it and some cedar. I really like it.

 

Today's shave went flawless again. Almost sad my rule is coming to an end . I stated in a post awhile back that the proraso might not make it past the 30 days and I am pretty close on that. I shave head and face daily so I expected it to be close . I'm not a good photographer so sorry for the sideways pic. Hope everyone is having a great day/ night where ever yous are .

 

Fantastic photo, Dan! Your wife’s beautiful artwork kinda steals the show, don’t ya think?

 

That’s a very nice setup for a rule! I like those late-model Super Speeds. They’re mild, but they can be efficient. @Jayaruh has a fondness for them too, I’ve noticed.

 

I have a 2 1/2 hour wait in the Denver airport. I’m hoping that is enough time to catch up on this thread. Wish me luck

 

That's a nice setup, I'm glad it's working for you!

Made ya look!!

Yes it is. And thanks.

Thank you!! Fun shave.

You need more then luck. Safe travel vibes....

 

Thanks,
Mine is a P1 , same birthyear and same quarter. I am now finding it to be mild since using it daily for over 3 weeks now .

 

Thanks, it's working out way better than I expected when I first got into this . I'm very comfortable with this setup now .
