November 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

What model razor is that Randy? the scales look really cool! Glad you were able to bring it back in line!

 

I didn't know Country Club closed its doors....thought they developed a new business title.

 

You found your "missing" soap!!
Great photo and setup, John!

 

Another great photo...in a slightly different style! Glad to hear that you're dialing it in quickly and that it's a winner for you.
Your daily posts of this razor are probably making things a little tough on Clint @clint64 ....

 

You could probably tip the stylist and get to sit in the cool car. I would.

 

The owner is no longer making shaving products. He is making bath soaps under a new brand.

 

Well done, Troy!!

 

Oh I see,...thanks. Nice photo of Logan .

 

It’s a custom Stewart razor labeled SFWS ‘89, so I presume it was an LE for that group. The only downside is that to remove the marred look of hone wear, I did have to change the look of the blade from a rough looking grind (similar to a Gold Dollar) to more of a matte finish. Having said that, I’m really pleased that the blade no longer looks like someone indescriminanly ground away on the spine, and I’m really happy with the finished looks. Definitely a huge improvement, even if it required modifying the original finish a bit.

 

Another excellent comparison - and of course, photos...especially the one of Logan! Happy Friday, Andrew!

 

Awesome photo, Clint! It's finally Friday!!

 

Thank you, Bruce!

 

Too fun, Brian! Thank you for sharing.

Your usual splendid photo and good report, Clint! How do you like the Fine Lavender scent? That's a soap and splash combo I have considered picking up...

Great hotel setup, Jason! Have a safe flight home.

That was a most informative set of photos and descriptions outlining the difference in those two Techs. And it looks like you have a great week of military veterans planned...

I would be jealous of your grandson's cool barber chair too...

Looks like you did a great job on that razor, Randy. The finish may no longer be original, but it suits the beautiful scales and the razor doesn't look like a refugee from the machine shop now.

 

Thanks, Bruce!

I'm glad you're back with us, Troy. Great set up this morning! C.O. Bigelow is a fantastic cream. We've been worried about you and thought you had given up shaving.

 

November 9

No shave for me today. We had an early morning meeting with our builder (electricians, HVAC, and brick work start next week) followed by an exciting trip to Walmart with a receipt for a significant three-digit expenditure as proof. My friend and I attend a 7 a.m. Saturday morning Men's Bible study, so I will get to enjoy a nice early shave tomorrow. It's satisfying to knock down two days of growth every now and then. I'm having fun rotating through my aftershaves now that my Trumper Skinfood is gone. Sometimes I find myself applying an extra splash in the evening.

I have been using a sample vial of VIKTOR & ROLF Spicebomb men's cologne this week. It's a nice spicy scent (more suited to cooler weather, IMO) with a fair amount of projection. It's probably not one I'd buy, however. My normal cool weather cologne is good old Aramis, and I'm on my second bottle. I'm saving my nickels for a bottle of Creed Aventus once I use up one of my other existing colognes. I never wore any man foofoo until I got into this hobby, but I'm starting to like certain scents. Now, I even throw on a good splash of cologne when visiting a construction site. Just like Charles Bronson and his Mandom.

Have a fantastic day, men!

 

There's just something cool about having a cased Fatboy. I picked up two awhile back, gifted one, and just had to keep the other one in my birth year. Just because.

 

Did my wife send you that?

Sounds like a great morning, Charlie! BTW a dupe of Spicebomb is going to be one on the Black Friday Stirling Scents!
