MAYhem 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

In a Stirling soap base I'm sure it would be a good one. A couple of the accords are familiar from other products I enjoy; Green mint, lavender, lemon. & patchouli. This bottle has been setting unused for a while and I couldn't smell it over the alcohol/witch hazel post shave spritz. Doesn't hurt my feelings too much and it won't be replaced.

Yeah, here too. Blonde hair & blue eyes. Five foot two. Bipolar roller coaster. Last conversation I had with her was showing up at our temp storage locker and seeing her and her exhusband loading my clothes dryer into his truck. I was there to separate my stuff from hers. Loaded my truck and drove off into the sunset.
Acknowledge, accept, move on.

 

Thanks, Clint. I’ve appreciated your support along the journey.

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Personna
Razor: Supply injector - classic plate
Brush: Zenith B02 boar
Soap: Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
Post: Witch hazel, Fine Lavender aftershave

Thank you to @PickledNorthern for loaning me his Supply injector. I'm going to try it out for a little while. Heard mixed reviews on this one, several people saying that it didn't work well for them. Worked quite well for me. Angle reminds me of the B1 injector I've used the past few weeks. I did two passes and ended up with a close and comfortable shave. I'll focus on this razor for the next week or two to get a better overall judgement.

Going to a Preakness party this afternoon. Bourbon tasting, Betting 101, etc. Should be a fun afternoon. Have a great weekend!

 

Great picture Perry! Sounds like a fun afternoon!

Pleasant weekend shave. Long weekend north of the 49th. Getting the yard and garden into shape.
Have a great evening all!

 

Awesome setting, Clint. Where would you rank the Envy White in comparison to other high end 2 bands?

Sounds like that Blackbird is 2nd nature to you now, Jim. Way to stick with it.

Is that one of your dad’s brushes, Randy? It is a stunner.

Hope you enjoyed the soirée, Perry, as well as the loaner.

 

No, it’s an Elite Razor HMW Amboyna I picked up off a BST. As you know, I’m a sucker for beautiful wood brushes... and soap... and vintage razors... and shiny new ones too. I think I have a problem...

 

Very nice picture and shave Jason!

Thanks Jason! I have made peace with the Blackbird.

Great looking shave and photo Jason.

 

Thank you Jason. The Envy White is a fantastic knot that compares very favorably to any other 2 band knot. I feel it represents the best in the value/performance ratio of the 2 band knots.

It has been ages since I used a TTO DE Razor. My angle was off at first resulting in a little irritation below the jaw line and a small weeper. Far from spectacular.

 

Thank you, Jason!
