March 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Mountain Man is on my short list to try. Great looking shave, Neal!

Excellent picture, Keith. Have a safe trip.

 

SOTD March 12, 2018

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Schick Proline AC
Razor: RazoRock Black Hawk
Brush: Ever Ready 100T restored badger
Lather: C.O. Bigelow shave cream
Post: Witch hazel, Barbasol Pacific Rush aftershave

Easy menthol Monday theme shave this morning. The Spring Forward time change always messes up my sleep. It's difficult to get going when you're getting ready and driving to work in the pitch black dark. I'm moving a little slow today!

The shave was fine. Easy lather from the Bigelow cream and some nice whisker removal from the Hawk. Overall very nice.

Enjoy your day!

 

Nice pic, Perry. I feel your pain. I hate spring time change weekend, also.

 

Thanks, Jared! It always takes me a few days to get back in the rhythm.

The shave reports with this razor are getting to be repetitive: 2 passes, DFS. Really not much else to say. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Great picture, Perry!

Day 10 with the New, 4th with the blade. I’ll change it out for something different tomorrow. Had a smooth and refreshing ‘Menthol Monday’ 3 pass shave this morning. This razor is as dialed in as it will be.
Have a great day all!

 

I just learned a thing. My Feather is the SS. I can get a great shave with it. I can get a great shave a bit more easily with the CJB because of said head geometry. Didn't know about the DX.

Sounds like a great shave. Congrats on finding a daily routine that works for you.

 

I have found TGN to be the sweet spot between value and performance.

 

Great B&W photo Perry.

 

Wonderful photo Jim. You've really got the Hawk dialed in.

 

Great line up Jason. You really nailed it with the B&W photo.

Loaded the brush and dropped it in the sink. Went with anyway as I was a bit later than I wanted to be. Received a really nice shave from the added glide.

Also finished by bottle of Superior 70 this morning. Time to replace it and end the NB18. At least it will only be $3 and if that is all I spend this year, not so bad.

 

Thank you, Clint!

I am running a little behind this morning. As expected the C.O. Bigelow was easy to lather and provided a nice cooling effect. The Wolfman OC with the increased blade gap of 0.74mm is very efficient and smooth. Three passes and touch ups ended in a wonderful near perfect shave. A splash of Fine Platinum was great end to the shave. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

 

Great photo, Clint. That tube of Bigelow is getting close to the end.

 

Thank you Perry. It is getting close. My guess it will be gone before the end of April.

 

Great work on the soap bowl, Jason!

Gongrats!!

Fantastic photo, Perry!

Awesome shot Jim! Also congrats on the new brush its a beauty!

That walnut brush handle is gorgeous, Jason!

I'm green with envy, Clint!
