July 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I had that happen with the R41 a number of times. It's like stepping on the moving walkway at the airport, you need to adjust beforehand. You'll be a master of the straight in no time Andrew.

 

Thank you, Charlie!
I'm curious to see how it goes myself.

Good report Adam.

 

It's been a bad week so far here:

My mother would be 88 in a couple of weeks. On Saturday afternoon, the Home Care lady found her lying on the floor by her bed, and since she seemed weak and dazed, we called an ambulance to take her to the hospital. After some initial improvement, her condition plummeted right off the cliff yesterday. This morning, we had her moved to comfort or palliative level of care only. And we are now doing the only thing we can for her -- praying that her death will be peaceful and easy.

 

Sorry to hear this John. I hope too that her passing is peaceful.

 

Excellent shot Jim! Curious to see how your two handed venture turns out!

My left hand isn't very useful except for getting in the way when I'm swinging a hammer.

John, I’m sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you and your family.

 

I've watched a lot of shaving videos, and I've noticed this gent always uses both hands. Pretty solid technique, IMO.

 

Thanks, Charlie!

July 2018

July 24 - Shaving like the Fuzzter!

Razor - Gem Junior LC
Blade - (3)
Soap - Island Hopper
Brush - Omega Pro 48
Post - Alum

Third shave on the Gem Jr and Treet Carbon. Back to Island Hopper out of the Marvy mug and I went for a classic brush in my collection, the Omega Pro 48. This was my first "official" brush and I had forgotten how huge this thing is. I think I could lather my entire head with one swirl with this brush. It felt good. Soft yet with that slight boar scritchiness that I like in a brush. If it was as scritchy as a horse it would be perfect.

The blade is holding up well and gave a great shave for its third run. SE blades, of course, tend to last a bit longer and this one is doing just fine. Two passes again, touch ups again as usual, and a near-BBS result which is fine. Three very enjoyable shaves on the Gem before it gets packed up to wait on the Kampfe to join it on its way back south. Tomorrow - the Kampfe starts its final three day run at HQ.

Fat chance

 

I know I speak for everyone when I say our thoughts are with you.

 

That setup has a lot of positive attributes. As in every single thing about it. Very nice.
