January 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thank you, Gentlemen.
Andrew- Am I that transparent?

 

Hahahahaha!

 

Youre doing awesome. If i may add to Neal's advice , i use a toothbrush to clean when i loosen cap to get the buildup off the blade . Hope this helps .

 

Welcome back, John! Jeeves January has gone quite well, glad to have you joining in for the last week.

 

I usually use a toothbrush to clean a razor when I change blades. I don't worry about much more than a quick wipe day to day. I never remove blades between shaves, but I do know some folks do.

 

He wore it, supposedly. Pinaud is French.

 

Glad you've found us! Thanks for all you contribute.

 

Thank you Chris for you words of wisdom and patience when answering my daily barrage of questions back then. If I were a preacher, I'd give a sermon on technique trumping tools . This thread sure smoothed out the bumps on the road to enjoying my shaves and gave me the confidence to continue into the unknown and see the light at the end .

 

1st Anniversary shave.....Jan23
--------------------------------------
"I pointed at the baby and crooked my finger, he came crawling."....9nein9
--------------------------------------------------
Razor..Jillette P1 TTO
Blade...Shaverboy
Soap....Proraso green
Brush ..Omega 10005 boar
AS.......,,,Rockwell balm

To the best of my knowledge, this is the setup I started with out in my journey 1 year ago. Nervous and shaking I haphazardly made my way through 3 passes as the Proraso green assaulted my naustrils. I asked for suggestions as to blades , soap , how many passes, you name it I asked questions . And onward i proceeded for 30 days .
Fast forward 1 year... I lathered up and enjoyed the Proraso smell, wielding the "mild" P1 loaded with cheap Chinese steel for 3 passes without shaking, holding my breath, sweating, or mind racing. I crossed the threshold without the nicks or burning sensations I remembered from my maiden voyage. I was no longer a deckhand, but a captain on the SS Baby Dolphin.

 

It's always fun to recreate that first shave, or any early shave, and realize how far you've come in such a short time! Nice shave!

 

Thanks Neal. It amazes me too. Haven't used this razor in almost a year but the results were outstanding.

I finally had time to sit down tonight and read your responses. It has been an extremely trying day and you have uplifted my spirits when I needed it. Thank you for the prayers. It means a lot. I appreciate you guys very much!

 

Nice!

 

Good show, Cap'n!

 

You and Clint @clint64 keep waving those new ProRaso creams under my nose. One of these days I'll fall victim to your product placement ads and buy some...

 

Nice one Gary. What are your thoughts on yellow Proraso?

 

Thanks Ed
