November 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Nice shot, Doug!

 

Thank you Perry! The scent is perfect! you can practically smell the sugar falling out of suspension in the tea with a hint of lemon juice squeezed in!

 

Beautiful Red Tip, Doug!

 

Nice! Great description. I see how that Lemon Chill balm worked in now!

 

NOvember 7th
PAL Injectomatic
First Canadian Maximo Gomez SS
TGN Finest / Maple
Thayers
CL Bon Vivant AS

Pulled out the PAL today to compare with the Supply Injector I've used for the last 5 shaves. Did a full 3 pass shave with the Artist Formerly Known as Meatgrinder, which I would not usually do, but darn it this is Science!
Last shave at home for a few days, so I mapped out some favourites for NoRepeatVember. Love this soap and love this splash. Awesome combo.
As for the comparison, the first thing that struck me after a week of the Supply is how light an Injectomatic (or a Schick for that matter) is in comparison. Seems almost cheap to hold, but an all metal heavy modern razor vs a plastic handled razor for the masses probably isn't a fair comparison for weight or feel. The PAL delivered a nice shave. I used alum, as I had used it after 2 and then 3 passes with the Supply as well. Got the same level of tingle on my neck as I got with the Supply. Overall, I'd say the PAL is very similar in terms of results to the Supply with the aggressive 3 dot plate. I wouldn't say the 'Meatgrinder' is more aggressive than that most aggressive Supply setting. The combo of weight and baseplate make the Supply a smoother, just as aggressive version of the Injectomatic.
I'm heading out of town this afternoon for a few days of meetings and will be posting hotel shaves when I can.
Have a great day all!

 

Thank you Perry.

Thank you Jim. We are a grand dog only couple too: Here's Kingsley:

Thanks Andrew. Buck is happy...and obnoxious and stubborn...

It's a conspiracy.

You broke out my favorite Douglas. Very nice.

 

Excellent photo Jason! Have a safe trip!

 

Thanks gentlemen! I hope you both are having a great day!

John, we need to be careful not to discuss Envy White knots too extensively. As a few of us have discovered, it's a terrific knot sold at a great price. It would be a shame to tempt anyone. They don't know what they're missing, and ignorance is bliss (@BaylorGator is a glowing example of this phenomena.) Knowing and then not having is akin to torture, constant worry, mild depression, general discontent, and possibly a host of other physical symptoms. At that point, spending fifty bucks for a knot would be a wise investment and much cheaper than going to a doctor, but why open this ugly can of worms?

 

Excellent picture, Charlie!

 

Thank you, Bruce!

 

Nice photo and report, Jason! Glad to hear the PAL and Supply are similar. I didn't get along too well with either, so I can be content with not seeking those out as den additions! I also need to get out the sample of Maximo Gomez soon.

 

Thank you, John!

 

I'm going to sell some soaps soon. Hopefully I'm not violating any forum rules by giving y'all a heads up.

I just have too many soaps and gear and need to clear some out and raise a little cash for a pre-Thanksgiving vacation. Let me know if you're interested in any of that via PM.

 

Great picture, Joseph! Dogs and kids have the same internal clock problems at daylight savings time.

 

Terrific picture, Brian!

 

Thank you, Andrew!

 

Terrific report, Andrew! Wonderful picture of Declan!

 

Awesome picture, Doug! I hope everything has been going well for you!

 

Wonderful picture, Jason!

 

Thank you, Jim!
