November 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Pecan pie is a given in Georgia (it may even be a law) and we will have it too, but around our house we are particularly fond of buttermilk pie.

If there is anything better than a slice of this with a cold glass of milk, I haven’t found it yet.

 

Hey there, and welcome!
Check out the very first post from Neil @NCoxSTL to get some general information about this (these) great thread(s)... Tips and tricks to help improve shaves, each month has a theme (optional and great fun), and the guys here are a great bunch!
I hope you enjoy it here!

 

The ones we import from Chernobyl glow in the dark though! Very festive for the holidays.

 

Love the look of that brush. Is that synthetic?

 

NOVember is NO whatever you want it to be! Apparently.

Razor - Soviet Mladast
Blade -
Soap - D.R. Harris & Co. Marlborough
Brush - Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

Well, I thought I'd make it before midnight but no such luck tonight. A long 4 hours of shuttling food around the Lou on a cold, dark, rainy night. But I'm home and the shave is done. The gods were gracious, mostly, tonight as they only handed me one oddball item of the four. The Soviet Mladost razor, which is a TTO non-adjustable that isn't horrible by any means. Just a bit wonky on loading and door operation. It's not the same quality as the Consul, but better than most I've found from that era. The choice of the Perma-Sharp blade, though, was very nice. One of the best of the St. Pete blades from Russia. Very sharp, very smooth, and paired well with the razor.

The lather was D.R. Harris Marlborough from the shave stick. Always fun to use a stick. And, with the JR54 brush the lather popped to live with almost no effort. Plus, because I had just soaked the brush in hot water the lather was also nice and warm. A nice warm up from the earlier time out in the cold rain.

Three full passes and enough fluffy and slick lather left to share with everyone. Near-BBS, very comfy, silent alum, hard to beat that for a finish. Happy Monday everyone! Hope it's a great start to a short holiday week for those of us in the U.S. For the rest of you - hope it's a great start to a regular week. Or, if you want to do some celebrating - we're having our traditional (since last year) ham, beans and cornbread on Thursday here.

 

hello and welcome ...

 

happy thanksgiving ..

 

happy thanksgiving to all who are celebrating this week...

 

Welcome! We're glad you decided to join!

 

Thank you, Neal. It is a synthetic. To me, it is a cross between Cashmere and Tuxedo knots.

 

Welcome aboard.

Weekends are entirely too short. Another excellent 3 pass shave that should've been Epic but for operator induced weeper. A splash of R4L aftershave kept the wonderful citrus and vetiver scent going. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

Some good reports and excellent pics to get us started on the week, gentlemen!

 

Sounds like a couple of good shaves with the R41.

 

Beautiful picture, Clint!
