MAYhem 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thank you, Andrew! I usually can usually smell the splashes for a couple of hours after application.

 

Beautiful picture, Mark!

 

Super picture, Jim!

 

Hope the recovery and rehab go well. Looks like a good start post op so just follow the surgeon and physio through the programme and you should come out fine. All the best.

After almost 6 months, I needed a change. Great shave, but muscle memory was not there slowing me down. It was still nice and close with no irritation, but auto pilot was disengaged.

 

Sounds like good news on the surgery, John. I will continue to pray that your recovery goes well.

 

Id have to say its one of a kind . I love it .

Glad to hear youre on the mend. Yes hang around, keep an eye on things in here .

 

Great photo and shave Jim.

 

Glad the surgery went well. I hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

 

Congrats on the gear. Fantastic looking brush.

 

Wonderful report. Do take some and post some pictures of Madeira. Seems like a wonderful place to holiday.

Easy shave again this morning with the Jeeves soap and injector of the day. The Schick 66 worked well and everything came together nicely. Not much more to report.

@Screwtape - Glad to hear the surgery went well. We'll look forward to your posts on whatever you choose to write about!

I really did not need another soap but after reading the thread on TSN, I ordered Soapy Science Lollipop Citrus. I had no idea when I was ordering that the soap is made just a few miles away from me. The soap was harder than most artisan soaps which I find a welcome change. Looking over the ingredients, I expected the soap to be slick with excellent post shave feel. Happily that proved to be the case with the added benefit of being easy to load and lather. The scent was a pleasant sweet citrus that was strong enough to last throughout the shave. Like most citrus scents it dissipated shortly. I was very impressed with the first use and look forward to using Soapy Science before making a final assessment. Three passes and touch ups left me just short of a BBS. A splash of Capri and I am off to fight a rainy morning commute. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

 

Great picture and report Clint!
