March 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

About the zapper-my favorite memories are when what must have been pterodactyl flew in it and cooked for a minute solid, smoked and stunk up the whole porch.

 

No shaves two days running now.

Good thing I will use a clog proof razor next time.

Wore Veg anyway....

Let's see what John 5 says about that...



Yep.

Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

Have a super Sunday!

 

I raised four children close in age. That's a great description of a Saturday night. I'll share it with my daughter who has three of her own.

Bloody good, bloody good.

 

Huh, and wow! I counted at least three techniques I've not see before. I thought Magicians weren't supposed to give away the secrets.

It's awesome how many days in a row you have used the same razor! What is the task that you have set for yourself?

Is this classed as an aggressive vintage razor? Is it a good example at a good price?

Or is this more aggressive and/or a better buy?

This one also looks better than the shiny one! A nice burnished look... Doesn't seem to matter so much about minor cosmetic flaws either!

 

Great shave Dan. Nivea balm is a very good balm. I always keep some on hand.

 

I hope you continue to feel better.

 

Thanks. I was planning on going a year using a micromatic razor.

 

Not nearly the level of drama I expected. No last minute hair or dress issues so I thought we were going to escape all the drama. However, I did have to return home to pick up her jewelry for pictures. Recalling previous years, I would judge this year as stress free.

 

Wishing you a speedy full recovery

 

Do you by any chance have a picture of the Micromatic that you are using?

 

The Micromatic OC razor is about as aggressive razor as I have ever tried. It is more so than the 1912 Ever-Ready you listed first. Personally, I find the 1912 razors to be terrific shavers. I haven't used a MMOC in such a long time, as I PIFed it away a while back.

 

I hope you continue to get better.

OneBlade Genesis V2
Gem PTFE Modified
BSB-2 with Vie Long 2 Band Fan
Nuàvia Blu

​

A new week brings a change of hardware. I will be going back to the OneBlade Genesis with a modified Gem blade. The brush for the week is the BSB-2 with a Vie Long 2 Band Fan. I enjoy using the brush but wish the handle was bigger. The knot is the real star having the scrub, backbone and density that make face lathering a true joy. With a nice rich slick lather I decided to go with a 3 pass shave, ATG, XTG followed by ATG. I ended up with a perfect BBS shave without the need to buff my neck. I think I might be on to something with the ATG pass as my first pass. I finished off with a splash of Fine Fresh Vetiver and I am ready for a busy day. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

 

Thanks for the info! Despite my original want for a modern razor, the reputation of these vintage SE razors is hard to ignore... So I'm searching for some in good condition!

 

Beautiful picture, Clint! Enjoy your Sunday!
