December 2018 30 Day Rule/Focux Pix & Discussion

This is perfectly normal during aerobics class, Perry. Nothing to be concerned about, brother!

 

Too slow for radio play, one of my favs.

Just 'cause you change it doesn't mean it goes away...

Love me some M P. I've noticed you changing them.
And now for something completely different!

Good looking knots! Awaiting your review. I think Jim @jimjo1031 got one of these recently. At that price if the knot is good there's not loss trashing the handle.

I'm certain I saw someone linking Yaqi and FS brushes. Not talking politics, but the side effects - waiting to see how the tariff talks go. Anyone heard details on how much Chinese goods prices will go up?

 

awesome ,monty is my passion..

Congrats on the progress. The house is looking good.

My dad owned a masonry company. That was first summer job as pre teen. I was willing to join the Army to pay for college. Just no more brick and mud.

Thank you Jason. I was up at 4am so I could get some work done remotely before leaving for the client site. The intensity will decrease after year end.

Thanks Mark. Tom is a talented craftsman, for sure. I appreciate you and Clint helping me pick out the Envy White knot for the handle. It's a winner.

 

Thanks Clint. It's gettin' real now.

 

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but bricks and mud will either send me to the Army or college.

 

Thank you Bruce.

OMG, that Avatar almost caused me to lose my lunch!

Thanks Clint.

Thank you Perry.

 

Yes indeedy.

 

They're cheap on Amazon.

The darn paper sticks to the blade!!!

 

Wednesday afternoon December 5 - caught in a repeating loop

Grand King Self Lubricating Razor / vintage Wilkinson Sword (7)
APShaveCo Flat Top brush
Simpsons Peppermint & Rosemary cream
Alum and TSD Vanilla milk aftershave

Same setup as yesterday and the day before with just a different scent of shaving cream. I took a fingertip dab of shaving cream again, streaked it on my cheek, and then lathered it with the synthetic brush. This method works very well and provides me with enough lather in the brush for at least two passes. The combination scent is primarily peppermint like a candy cane with a pleasant earthy herbal undertone. And the peppermint also acts much like menthol does and has a very mild cooling tingling effect.

Today's shave has firmly cemented my opinion that this is an outstanding mild razor with high efficiency and a loud "scraping toast" sound as if mows down stubble but virtually no blade feel. Two passes left me on the cusp of BBS with zero feedback from the alum. I used a postshave product only because of our current cold dry air.

I think the blade is good for a few more shaves in this razor, so I will use the same combo (and the same brush again) as I run through my last two flavours of Simpsons shaving cream:

 

Great shave and photo John.

 

Avatar changed to a sunrise pic I took from the back door a while ago. I don't want to be responsible for anyone losing their lunch.
