MAYhem 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Wonderful warm photo Jason. So you have a New SC as well. I picked up a Delta Echo Short Comb on a BST last night.

Excellent photo, Jason!

Thank you, Patrick!

Thanks. Clint!

 

Has RAD reared its ugly head again ? Not that you can go wrong with a New SC!

 

I am afraid so. I sold two and have bought two. Unfortunately I’m likely going to add the Dart to the list. I will sell or PIF two more DE razors that are not seeing much use.

Wow, another lethal looking Kami, Keith. You have the most unique collection of modern Kami's/Pain Sticks on here I think. Haven't seen Adam post many recently, but he had a few different ones as well as I recall.

Another stunning photo, Clint. Love the jade colouring on the handle as well.

Awesome, Jim. The Karve is on the list for sure.

Sounds like a great 'mid stream' switch, Andrew. Happened to me with a Vintage Pal Carbon injector blade last week as well.

Great gear, Rick.
Interesting, I find the Polsilver very similar to Astra SPs. Nacets too, for that matter. So much so that I don't think I'd buy another 100 at the increased cost of them.

 

Thank you, Clint. Yes, I have both the LC and SC, with bar handles.
Show us a pic of that Delta Echo colour scheme!

 

Thank you, Gentlemen.

 

Have you shaved with a Blackbird OC ? If so how does it compare to the Wolfman, Timeless, and ATT H ? If you are willing in a few months after you have tested the waters with your new toys I would love to get your take on the Game Changer vs Wolfman .61.

 

Thank you Jason.

Thank you Jason.
I've only tried a couple Nacets, don't recall them being less than acceptable. Polsilvers haven't let me down prior to this latest. This month I've used three razors each with a single new blade when I changed gear. The Kai & Fatip combo served well. An Astra SP in the Red Tip was also acceptable. When I switched to NEW LC and Polsilver quality of my shave dropped. Not sure what I'll use next but it won't be this current pair. Not giving up hope on the old OC so I'll lay blame on this particular blade but not the brand.

 

No I’ve not tried the Blackbird. I have tried all 3 levels of the ATT and preferred the Timeless and Wolfman. I’m most interested in giving the Karve a try.

It is a Black with Copper highlights. Below is one of the pictures the seller posted.

 

So May is almost over, and I'm still not done. I had a shave yesterday, another cheat day. But only because I got a new soap for my Birthday, Regiment Gear's High Speed. The scent is clear/sporty, but like most scents I find to be on the mild side. This isn't a knock on them, as I find most soaps to have mild scents, and have yet to find one that really fills the bathroom. But it was a nice scent. As for lathering, well I've only used it once, but it was super easy to lather with. And provided nice protection, comfort, glide, slickness, and whatever other words you want to use to describe a soap's performance.

I'd really like to pick up Top Gun and Beach Master. Maybe I'll go order them after I post this.

 

Yeah. Jealous. Looks like a great place.

 

I haven't shaved since sometime last week. That will end soon.

Have a great afternoon!

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

Excellent picture, Jason!

 

Jason, thank you. I’ll be posting another kami shave soon.

 

Thank you, Jason!
