December 2018 30 Day Rule/Focux Pix & Discussion

Excellent picture, Jason! Glad your better half is doing well.

 

Hope it works for you, Charlie! You are right, these sometimes get overpriced quickly.

 

Terrific picture, Bruce!

An evening post for my morning shave.

You may have guessed that my Black Friday included a few soaps, as this was yet another new one. While, not a Christmas related soap, I needed an added item to get the free shipping, so another soap/AS combo fit the need. The more I use this CK-6 base, the more I like it. I really had the lather dialed in just right this morning, and it was nice and slick. This scent is a Barbershop type, and very pleasant. A bit of a powerdery citrus scent, with a lit Musk thrown in. A bit sweet, but definitely not too much. The post shave feel was excellent. This razor has been great, but I will change it up for the next shave.

I hope everyone has had a great day!

 

Wonderful picture, Bruce! The Flying Hide I ordered arrived the other day. Great leather scent. I'm going to stick with my alphabetical soap rotation so it will be a little while before I use it. I did make it to the letter C today.

Wonderful photo, Jim! I ordered the PAA Kiritimati after your review. I'm such an easy target.

Excellent shave and report Jim. Thank you for taking the time to write up your thoughts on the new soaps.

 

Thank you, Jim! The Kiritimati is a fantastic scent, I bet you like it. I have to admit, the CANE and Lump of Coal interest me as well.

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

Great picture and shave, Jim!

 

I just love that pic Jim!

 

I looked at those as well. Soaps and aftershaves are my biggest weakness.

In what universe would cookies ever beat ice cream? None.

Even you, Charlie, have a self-admired weakness for ice cream. Cookies are only good for tossing, brother!

 

Thank you Jim!
