January 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Great photos Andrew. You are a very wise man. Always welcome hobby related gifts from the wife.

Excellent shave and photo Robert.

Couple of great shaves Patrick. Happy 2 year anniversary.

 

Perry, they have already closed the schools, county and state government on just the threat of snow.

 

All the area schools here will be closed tomorrow. Birmingham City Hall is closed. I saw where the Georgia governor closed all offices in the warning counties.

 

Good photo with a beautiful brush Andrew.

 

With a New Governor and the Super Bowl in town this weekend, no one is taking any chances on another Snowmageddon.

 

We are expecting the worst storm of the Winter overnight. Schools, government, and banks will be open.

 

Great picture with a beautiful brush.

 

Oh no....................I have got to get some milk and bread for milk sandwiches!

 

Monday morning January 28 - cleaning up

Gillette Black Beauty refurbished by Delta Echo on 4 / Sharp Star (2)
JR #267 birdseye maple and Omega boar knot
Jeeves Private Study aka Bay Rum soap
Alum and Jeeves Bay Rum splash

My last shave seems to have been Tuesday! I knew I hadn't shaved since Friday as I was on call all weekend, but I didn't realise it was longer than that until I checked here. All I know is I had quite a stubble built up.

The big boar brush whipped up a great lather from the Jeeves while face lathering. Then I went to work with the razor.... My usual two passes got me down to a socially acceptable appearance but not what I consider a really close shave anymore (would have thought that with the electric I think.) And there seemed to be a lot more blade feel than I expect from a Gillette adjustable on 4 plus quite a bit of tugginess. Bad blade maybe? I binned it just to be sure.

Oh well, at least the alum was silent and the Bay Rum smells great.

Hope everyone has a great week!

 

A picture of your refurbished Black Beauty would be helpful.

 

Excellent shave report John.

 

Just got work things will be closed here tomorrow also.

 

Thanks guys. We had a blast today with our kids.

 

That is up to @NCoxSTL, but yes, I believe that is usually one of the main options.

 

Yes you are correct!
But in the bottle, unbeknownst to you, there is Clubman Pinaud.
The tape on the bottom, you can't read, marks the bottle for me. That's why it's turned sidways.
My wife is making a lable for it.

Thanks Joe!

I guess I was spoofed! Lol!

 

Thanks Jim.

I can attest to that Rick, been divorced before too.

Thanks Clint .

Thanks Doug , it was my Dads old brush and I restored it and fabbed up my own knot from a paintbrush.

 

Awesome shave John, took the safe bet on binning the blade. It was probably junk.

 

I don’t want to leave any proof out on the internet.

 

Thank you, Keith!
