March 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Gotta love the loyalty of the 30DC. My favorite sale that month.

 

No brainer. Cartels get over and get on every way we can. We have a reputation to uphold.

 

Thats awesome. I need to make up my mind to buy a new one. Have not got there yet.

 

@Boojum1 and @LOOT must be major shareholders given the amount of unobtanium that show up quietly in their photos.

 

Sunday shave:

Not that cold out but I was in the mood for some hot lather so out comes the QCS. A big Koraat along with a Kent BK8 makes this a big and hot shave. Four passes and just missed the epic classification.

Ok so it has been a very long day in japan. Can somebody give me rundown of what I’ve missed today lol. I’ve been running around with the family and been Lost out here. We went looking for an ikea store. Shouldn’t be to hard right. Leave base take a train then a subway then a bus and we’re there no big deal. Get to first train station. Can’t read anything dunno how to buy a ticket never used this machine. Help someone. No one speaks English. Finally someone American walks by. Hey bro help please I don’t know what’s going on. Get our first tickets then off we go. Or well we thought. Go around the corner still can’t read anything well which way do we go wife looks at me like I’m suppose to know because I’ve been out of the country before. Only thing I could say was this is not the Middle East. Finally figured that all out. Got to the next station we needed to so we could switch to a different train. The machines of course were slightly different. But figured it out. Well busses got even more confusing but finally made it to ikea 2 hours and 10 minutes later of travel time lol. Not counting. WTH time. This giant 2 story ikea place was like going into a Walmart on Black Friday but worse. Setup so you can only go one way through everything like a maze till you reach the end. And when you do and you think your done. Bam you pop out of the elevated back on the first floor to a whole other setup (starts on the 2nd floor). All we wanted were beds for our kids. Well we eventually just gave up to frustrated dealing with no one that speaks English and everything else. And the trip home was just as annoying. Got lost coming home lol. Crazy person yelling something on the bus only thing I made out was americano lol. But this 8 hour round trip adventure was yes interesting and new but definitely feel I accomplished nothing

 

I'm late on catching up... Welcome to The 30DC Crew!!

 

You are off to a great start.

Congrats on making it through blood free. At least you gave the shavette a try which is better than I ever did.

 

Sometimes there is a price to pay for brush thievery.

 

Great video Fuzzy! Keep 'em coming!

 

Thanks Jim! I hope you are doing well.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Looking great @jtspartan and @Screwtape! I, for one, am very proud our 30 DC Canadian Branch Managers!

Does your cartridge thingy and cookie duster trimmer run on high current draw batteries or 440 volts?

Please let me introduce my colleagues in the Hoarders, Inc./30DC corporate scrap booking team. For now, we'll be located at the Kentucky regional headquarters. We will eventually transition to Global HQ in St. Louis. We are currently working with @NCoxSTL's landlord on the relocation.



I'm also proud to introduce @Paul Turner as executive VP and diretor of IT. We're proud to have him at the wheel (of our Abacus 286).

 

That's funny right there.

A great shave this morning provided a perfect start to the day. The Thäter 4125 is so soft and luxurious that it pampers you during face lathering. With the scent of Rossa filling the room, I went with a traditional three pass shave. I paid particular attention to use a very light touch and stretching my skin as I went. With minimal touch ups, I ended up with my usual near perfect shave. I had no desire to chase the baby on my lower right neck. My buddy Wade and I will be leaving shortly for a couple hundred mile motorcycle ride through the North GA mountains which will be a welcome sanity break for me. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

 

Beautiful photo and brush Mark. Bravo.
