December 2018 30 Day Rule/Focux Pix & Discussion

Your gear always amazes me, Keith! Have a great trip!

 

This is a clone of yesterday's shave except that I stepped the plate up to a 5....This was before Danny@Hembree bested me with a 6. Challenge accepted! I'm off to look for my dueling gloves . Hope they are not in the cutlery drawer.... still banned from touching the butterknives since mayhem.

 

Awesome setups Keith, enjoy the vacation! How do you like the Thater?

 

You’ll get that soap dialed in, in no time Rick. Great pic!

A great start to the month, Neal. Agree with you on these new SynBads- awesome.

Have a great vacation, Keith! Sounds like a very cool week.

 

You are welcome. How did ya do on plate 5? The Rockwells are amazing razors. I love my 6C but run across a good deal on the bay and had to have the 6S. You cannot go wrong with either. The 6S I bought came with two heads and the guy was having problems with rust. I bead blasted them with baking soda and they look new. He was leaving the razor in his shower with the blades in it. I disassemble, rinse and leave mine on a towel to dry. Never had a rusting problem.

Y'all are scaring me but it is like a bad train wreck............you cannot help but watch.

 

Nice shave and photo, Patrick!

 

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH a toggle! Nice. I would love to just hold one of those one time.

 

You will have to try plate 6 next. From there we may have to shim but that is starting to get into MAYhem. Shimming a Rockwell just does not sound right!

 

5 was a bit closer Danny. I'll go with 6 tomorrow. Love my Rockwell too, and yes that's how I dry mine. Also clean mine thoroughly . Almost pulled the trigger on model T but they were far away from finished last time I checked.

 

Excellent gear, Neil!

Enjoy your vacation, Keith!

Nice looking shave, Patrick!

Aaaaaah Mayhem, the memories....such good memories. Fuzzy@ wchnu says only thing you should shim are doors lol
Just to bring you up to speed on butterknives reference. This will get you in trouble btw.

 

Thanks Jim !

 

This one is on a long term loan from @Drygulch . I still want to own one of my very own, but this is the next best thing. I used one a year or so ago that was a loaner as well just to run it through some trials. Honestly, I think the Fatboy gives a slightly better shave, but the design and rarity of the Toggle keeps it in a class of its own. Now, for my real nearly unobtainable dream - a bottom dial Fatboy. There was one on eBay last month for a bit over $3000. I just can't justify that in my mind. Believe me, I try.

 

As I recall you took MAYhem to all kinds of new levels last year. Inventing razors. Classic stuff. Made the OG guys proud.

 

I seen that auction, something seemed fishy about where he said guy bought it and returned it cause he felt he underpaid or something .

 

Cinco de Julio started as a test for hangovers after the Fourth of July holiday. MAYhem has escalated the way all double dog dares do. Yeehaw!

Naw. TSD on the whole is a well behaved bunch of gentlemen, and a couple ladies. Besides, what happens in The 30DC stays in The 30 DC.

Downside to this latest offering from Pinaud - it's not the long lasting power house of the previous formulas. That could be a good thing.

Keith, is that the Indian Old Spice cream? How do you rate the performance? I'm curious which colognes you'll be wearing.

Hang on, it's a bumpy ride. The good news is you can still spectate without getting directly involved.

 

Restrictor plates are for sissies. We go full speed ahead and just dodge the walls. Usually.

 

Hoping to repeat last year, still have some of the razors I made and will probably design a few more.

 

long term loan did you say?

 

Yeah. Even without that kind of "funny stuff" I would have a hard time sending that kind of money on the promise of shipment from a seller. Yeah, I know the bay offers protections as does Paypal, but still.
