August 2018 30 Day Rule/focus Pix & Discussion

Adjustable (Arko) Anything Goes and whatever else we decide AUGUST!!!!

August 26

Razor - Soviet Consul (9)
Blade - (1)
Soap - Stirling Bay Rum
Brush - Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

Back to the Consul for three shaves as we make our way to the end of Adjustable August. I grabbed a Sharp Star blade since I have far too many of this terrible, horrible, really awful blade. Again, if you have any please send them to Cartel HQ for disposal. I don't want anyone else to suffer! Stirling Bay Rum with the JR54 for a really beautiful lather. I do love the traditional Bay Rum scent. More and more.

The consul on 9 is definitely in beast category. More aggressive than a Gillette but still very manageable. Two passes and touch ups and the baby is in the house, though the alum was slightly warm. I'm tired, though, and rushing a bit which seems to be a bad habit I'm growing as I work more hours. I need to rediscover some of the Zen mentality when I get ready to shave. Still, no issues to really worry about and it was a great way to end the day.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Next weekend is, of course, a holiday weekend as we begin SEptember. Hope you will have lots to do to wrap up summer with some fun!

I took the week off and my Dad and Step-mom are coming tomorrow for a three night visit. I might just get some time to organize a few things later in the week.

 

Thank you!

 

Just tried it, and it worked! What an incredibly generous guy! He clearly has great faith in his product lines!

 

As a millennial myself, may I just say... I'm offended and the world hates me!

 

Thank you, Bruce!

The weekend was just too short. Up and moving very early this morning. The house is clean and ready for my wife to return this afternoon. At least I was able to get in an excellent shave before starting the morning commute. The backbone and flow through of the Envy White 2 band made face lathering a true joy. Three passes and touch ups ended in a near perfect shave. A splash of Limón and I think I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

 

Awesome way to get the day kicked off, Clint! Beautiful photo and lovely brush! Good luck with the commute - and with the workday.

 

Thank you Bruce.

 

SOTD August 27, 2018

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Schick
Razor: Schick H1 injector
Brush: Artisan badger
Soap: Soap Commander Vision
Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Glacial Spearmint aftershave

Back to the grind today. At least a nice shave will start things in the right direction. The Hussy behaved well and swiped away some luxurious Soap Commander lather. A cold finish from Glacial Spearmint to wrap it all up and I'll call it a success.

Have a great day!

 

Nice photo, Clint! Hope your week starts off well.

 

Great photo, and some nice product selection today, Perry! Good luck with the start of the workweek!

 

Great start to the day, Clint. Wonderful picture.

Thank you, Jim!

August 27 SOTD:

Razor: Parker Variant
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Lather: CO Bigelow
Aftershave: Proraso Green
Additional Care:
Osage Rub
Stirling Unscented PSB

This is a great Monday morning combination, and overall it was a decent shave. My arms were pretty shaky after my workout, and a got a little weeper as a result. Still ended with a DFS level of smoothness, so I can't complain too much. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Terrific picture, Jim!
