August 2018 30 Day Rule/focus Pix & Discussion

When you buy one of these for £1.59 with free shipping and actually think that you will be able to use it to shave your face.
Should be funny!

 

The brush in my shave photo today is a modern aluminum version of the Rubberset 400 made by Vlasta. It is designed to use easily interchangeable ferrules. Mine is a prototype and came with just one ferrule loaded with a silvertip. Vlasta sells extra ferrules in his Etsy shop right now, so I am getting a full set to complete the brush, on the theory that if I wait until 2019, they may no longer be available for some reason.

Of course, once it's broken, I have a little list of about a dozen new soaps I want to try...

 

He's a tough lil hombre. So far the car seat straps are holding.

 

Thanks Perry.

Thank you Clint. The menthol felt good for about 30 minutes.

Thanks John. The Cella needed extra "blooming" and no, I did not overdue the FW. Close, however.

Thanks Andrew.

I actually was in a hurry Jason. I'll plan better in the future...

 

Beautiful family Andrew. You are a lucky fellow.

 

Thanks Bruce. The M&F is a nice, full knot, but I wouldn't say "over-stuffed". Lovely flow-through. Nice middle of the road backbone.
The soaps are more similar than dissimilar for sure.

Sorry about your Nemesis. Where again is the problem area?

 

Shave Report #11

Gillette (Flat Bottom) Fat Handle Tech (Made in England)
Astra SP (2nd use)
Bluebeard Doubloon Boar Brush
TOBS Peppermint
Nivea Sensitive Post-Shave Balm

Easily the best shave of my focus/rule so far! The usual 2 passes has resulted in a nice close shave (DFS in most areas) and minimal irritation. What has really made this the best shave so far is my post-shave face feel... It feels clean, smooth and calm!

Enjoy your shaves gents!

 

Congrats on the progress, James!

Good setup and picture with a great looking dog.

 

Congrats on the progress James.

 

Just looking through some old 30 day threads and came across posts by @sdguero. Does anyone know if he is still around here? He was a great contributor!

 

Thank you Doug. I am really fond of Mocha. A friend of mine trained her for me. All her commands are in German.

 

Excellent photographs Andrew. Your wife looks so young.

 

I had a Blue Heeler named Spike. He was a great dog. You really get attached to them.

 

Dan from South Dakota. No, I don't believe he has been active on here for a few months.

 

Great setup and photograph Bruce.

 

It’s a vie long, and it looks really cool in that vintage handle, Jason!

Congrats, Andrew! Great looking family. If you haven’t figured it out yet, your defensive scheme is changing from “zone” to “man to man”.

 

I also miss Norseman-the kind gentleman with a classic goalie-mask avatar.

 

TGIF upgrade. Andrew, thanks for posting the awesome family pictures.

 

@Keithmax sounds like we have the same dog. Mocha is easy to train, great with kids and needs lots of exercise.
