October 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

i am in gary

 

More of a "stealth comb" than an open comb. But it works.

 

I would enjoy passing one on to a convert if you're willing to let me do that, only if they're not claimed in 24 hours of course.

 

You would certanly be welcome to, Perry! Lets see if they get claimed.

 

Thank you Brian.

It’s one of my favorite soaps.

 

Thank you

 

I'm in. Kind of.

O mega Brush
C rabtree and Evelyn Sienna soap
T reat DE blades
O ld Spice aftershave
B öker straight razor
E xecutive Shaving Preshave

The soap is 15+ years old and definitely an Odds and Ends.

 

Clever!
Welcome aboard. I'm kinda new around here myself.

Last minute substitutions.

 

You may have missed that meeting. New members of The 30 DC are only new during their first post. Jim, you're a Veteran Member.

If I remember correctly, I didn't set it down too far. I usually put synthetics at around the same depth and I used epoxy. Just thinking maybe those knots are made more dense than others, not sure though.

 

Well, I shaved with it today and it was about as expected. The pre-War Tech head doesn't seem to have made much difference to how it shaves. Bottom line: a very nice shave with a little noise from the Alum that was probably the result of two days in a row of very close shaves.

ObPicture:


Getting the head coated/replated is an option. The handle, however, has enough dings in the knurled areas (including the ball) to probably not make that worthwhile.

Since I already have a nice New LC, I'd be willing to pass this on to a 30DC member who wants to try one. Reply here if you're interested.

 

I must've missed that meeting. Thanks, Rick!

Well, if it makes it to the point where it is open to everyone, then I'd be interested in that one.

 

Thank for the info Jim! I think this knot has a rather large glue bump.

 

Not in on this but it's a very generous offer, Andrew!

 

Well, I went out and expended a vast sum on a bottle of Brasso this morning, then used it on my razors. I would say Brasso is still the best for easily shining up brass. It couldn't do too much for the two rather dull-looking nickel-plated razors, but it even cleaned up the knurling on the handles of those a little. Overall, I am quite pleased with the results - the brass is about three shades lighter:

Before Brasso:



After Brasso:



I will now put them through their paces for the next couple weeks. After that, they have turned out to be in good enough shape that almost any of them would be a suitable candidate for a replating or coating...

 

That's what I was thinking of. Plus it non abrasive.
