September 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Welcome @Spock! The goal here is to get you to "shave long and prosper". Stick with your gear, post your shaves, ask questions and you'll be well on your way to shave Nirvanna by the end of the month. Just don't fall for @NCoxSTL's fake cookie thing. It's the TSD equivalent to the guy who tells kids he's got candy and chocolate bunnies in the back of his white unmarked van.

Another early morning shave, afternoon post. That seems to be the norm for me these days, it appears.
2nd day of the MMOC focus, and today’s Stirling product is the awesome Gentleman. I paired it with the Jeeves Tobacco/Bay for Tobacco Tuesday.
I went with a full 3 pass shave this morning, and it looks like I need to either get this razor dialed in a bit better or forego the 3rd pass. I am completely smooth, but had a fair amount of neck irritation this morning. Looked kinda like a bad Cart shave. Also ended up with a fairly persistent weeper on my chin again which decided to last until being doused by Jeeves. Speaking of the Jeeves, when I splashed it on, my reaction was basically ‘Yowzers!’, as I had a significant burn going. Yup, need to get better with this razor, or forget the ATG on my neck.
Have a great afternoon all!

 

Excellent photo, Jason! Sorry for the rough shave, there is a definite learning curve to MMOC.

 

Jason, sorry about the rough shave but at least the photo was excellent.

 

Welcome! Sounds like a great combo.

 

Great photo and setup, Jason! The MMOC is certainly a beast of a razor. I had one for a while and it was tough to tame. Ended up selling it.

 

I'd be interested in knowing how close you think the Cool is to Floid Blue, Joseph, as I believe you actually have some. I believe it is B&M's dupe of Blue.

 

Calling Shavette Fu!

Yes, the Lounge does indeed have a nice, strong green tobacco scent, Perry. You've reminded me to pull mine out again. I do get a bit of a face tingle from it as well, but nothing too bad.

Gentleman! Great minds, Jim...

Sounds like a great start to the week, Clint. Beautiful fall-looking picture as well.

Wow, on the road again, Brian. Have a safe and rewarding trip.

Sounds like it is time to ditch the blade all right, Andrew. How is Declan sleeping?

What a great photo of some classic software and beautiful hardware, Bruce.

Beautiful shot again, Douglas. We've missed your outdoors pics, most certainly.

 

Thank you, Gentlemen. I'll hopefully get it dialed in.

 

. He's sleeping in about two hour stretches. I can't wait for those to extend a little. On top of that Login is once again cutting teeth so he is waking up at night too which is making for a very sleepless dad.

 

How the heck did I screw your name up? Posting while waiting for a meeting to start isn't a good idea apparently... Sorry, Andrew.

 

I surprised I even noticed in my current sleep deprived state.

 

Thank you Jason.

Thanks, Jason! The Lounge is a close match to RazoRock's Zi'Peppino. I have their soap and aftershave in that scent. It's a fresh, clean scent that I enjoy.

 

Nice picture with a great write up Jason.

 

Thanks very much Jason. Still not shaving every day, but a couple times a week is a good start.

 

This conversation sounds awfully familiar. I suggest a CT for @jtspartan of "I will name him George". What say you @Queen of Blades?

 

Thank you, Doug!

 

Thanks John.

Thank you Clint. Me likey shiny...

 

I do have some Jason, and I think there is a drop or two left of the B&M. I will report back with my findings soon.
