February 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

February 27 SOTD:

Razor: CJB Pain Stick
Blade: Kai Titan Mild
Brush: Stirling Kong
Lather: Stirling Rose
Aftershave: Stirling Rose
Additional Care:
Stirling Unscented PSB

I pulled out the Pain Stick this morning and got a one pass CCS. I used some of the Stirling Rose, which is my only rose scented soap. My wife gave it her seal of approval. I'll probably work this one into my rotation a bit more frequently. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Great lineup and photo Jim. I hope your day goes well.

 

I have a Magic with one shave on it (by me anyway), and a NIB Parker SRX with none. I think it's time to change those numbers, so I will join your group and learn shavette this coming month.

 

Tuesday morning February 27 - No Pic Menthol Tuesday

Supply Co V.2 SE injector on two - dot plate / Personna ( 4? )
Chinese hardwood with Maggards 24mm plissoft knot
TSD Bay Rum lanolin soap
Osage Rub and Clubman VIBR

I did a one pass "good enough" shave today. The humble synthetic whipped up a fine super goop in the soap tub, then transferred an excellent lather directly to my face. I should use this brush more than I do. I then finished up with a repeat of yesterday's Osage Rub and VIBR twofer chill.

 

Thank you, Clint! I hope you have a great day as well!

 

SOTD February 27, 2018

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Schick Proline
Razor: Schick M adjustable injector
Brush: Ever Ready 100T badger
Lather: Jeeves of Hudson Street Turkish Bath
Post: Witch hazel, Jeeves of Hudson Street Tobacco Bay Leaf aftershave

Easy shave this morning. I continue to enjoy the Turkish Bath. Great soap with terrific qualities. The Ever Ready brush produced incredible lather in no time. Slick and protective all around. Proline blade in the Schick M did a masterful job. Really nice overall.

Enjoy your day!

 

Love the B&W photo Perry.

 

Thank you, Clint!

​

Well the shave stars aligned this morning for as @Keithmax would say an epic shave. Much of the credit goes to the Jeeves Bay Rum. It is just a better soap than the CO Bigelow and worked much better with the Rocnel SE-G. I paid particular attention to using short strokes with no pressure and skin stretching though out the 3 passes. I could have left it there and had my usual near perfect shave but I decided to risk it and touch up my jawline and buff my neck. This easily brought the baby home with no nicks, weepers or irritation. A splash of Krampert's left my face feeling fantastic. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

 

I am no longer entertaining winter weather stories. Pardon me while I dream of being on Pensacola Beach. I might ease over to Peg Leg Pete's later and have some grouper.

 

You can even make it a no shave day. Nobody cares. My kind of chillin'

 

Sounds like a great trip, Keith! Enjoy!

 

Great picture, Perry!

Just a beautiful picture, Clint!

 

Thanks Clint. I'm thrilled.

 

I here you Charlie. I am dreaming of a nice relaxing beach trip as well.

 

Thank you Jim. I am starting to get the hang of this razor.

 

Thank you, Jim!

 

At least it's blue

Gorgeous shot Clint! I'm very jealous that you have something green to photograph! Congrats on an epic shave too!

 

I don’t know how I put my response in the quote, but I did.
