October 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Personna injector blades are good. They're slightly sharper than Schick blades in the yellow package, in my opinion. Then the Schick Proline blades are sharper than Personnas. I get about 4-6 shaves with an injector blade.

 

Nice set up and shave today, Adam. I really like the Frugal Shave case.

 

This one really impressed me, I didn’t need to do any touch ups after the second pass. I’ll have to try it out soon with another type of blade to see what other combos have to offer. But your at the top of the list whenever the dark side takes Over completely

 

Thank you @Linuxguile

 

Very nice setup and too bad the ss/as combo isn’t available anymore.

Today was another outstanding BBS shave. These products worked well in the hands of a master. .
The Timeless .95 OC with the shorter Barber Pole worked perfectly along with the Feather Professional blade. The Feather Professional is my preferred blade these day.

Great post and excellent photo Amigo. Tell us about the leather razor case. I am interested.

 

Thanks very much Clint. Of all the leather pouches I have the Timeless is far surperior to any. It fits all my razors perfectly and the stitching is excellent. All around a great product I have come to excpect from Timeless.

 

Cool. I have one from West Coast Shaving and a OneBlade leather case but I am always looking for others.

 

Very nice choic for an evening shave.

A late post for this early morning shave, and I am way behind. Some great pictures, gentlemen! I hope everyone has had a great day!

 

Thanks very much @Paul76.

 

Are you trying to trick me by using the same picture over again.? Well it looks great if it is Jim.

 

I think I have a couple West Coast Shaving pouches also Clint. They work well also.

 

Awesome photo of some awesome gear, Doug!
I agree with your assessment of the razor case. I also have the Timeless dop bag and was blown away by the quality.

Thanks very much Jim.

 

Getting better and better shaves on the dark side rotating through my straights. I’m finally good enough with my technique to start to notice the differences between finishes on blades, so I’m looking forward to setting up a balsa strop vs my current wool strops (one is sprayed with diamond spray and one with chromium oxide). Any suggestions on the best way to set up the balsa for a smooth, sharp finish?

 

OCtober 23
Razor: Gillette oc w/ jayaruh handle
Blade: voskhod 2nd use
Brush: jayaruh 147
Soap$as: johs, blood on steel

I decided to try the same blade from last night in my oc since it is OCtober after all. But there wasn’t much growth from yesterday, so I opted for just an atg pass. After that just a little touch up around the jawline. Only one small weeper but other than that it was a perfect shave.

 

Make sure the balsa is perfectly flat so lap it. I also like to use FeO3, it even higher in grit than CrOx. I use CrOx followed with FeO3 for touch ups and after honing. Now I am experimenting on using FeO3 on firehose stop before each shave, I want to see if it will extend the life of my edges, so far is seems to be working.
