February 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thanks Jim.

 

Thanks. That makes two of us, Clint.

 

Perhaps a lock on the bathroom door? Or is that guaranteed fight you don't want?

 

Nice haul, Gary. Is there a Canadian vendor or did you import it?

I really liked the Baker Street, Aaron. Enjoy!

Another really nice brush, Jim. You are building quite a den!

Fantastic! Haven’t had that conversation yet...ours have been about volume rather than price.

Superb combo, Jim! The Gentlemen scent helps get my wife moving too...

Great photo, Clint! Have fun bach’en it.

Yes, you do! Subtle it isn’t, but I know you enjoy Tobacco scents, Perry.

Beautiful brush, Robert!

 

I don’t feel so bad now after seeing those stashes.

Good for about 8 years if I made no more purchases, but I know I will anyway.

 

Razor: Gillette Fatboy, w/case
Blade: Personna 74 Tungsten (1)
Brush: 30DC LE w/ MS 2 Band 100% Finest 24/63
Soap: TSD Blood & Steel LE
A/S: Folsom Capri
Bowl: Fendrihan

The start of a new month and a rule for February. Of course the Fatboy is up with the Personna 74 Tungsten blade. I will probably get a couple of months from this blade. This 30Dc LE brush is outsyanding, nothing more to add. The soap is incrediable. Jeeves on the Hudson is a great artisian. I haven't tried the new Folsom Capri, but I'm sure it's the same as the old. If not let me know. Thanks.

It's and overcast. Maybe a break in the cold come Monday. "Maybe" been fooled before.



Even the Wild Turkey's are looking for food at our place.

 

Thank you, Jason!

 

Thank you, Jason. My wife wasn't moving at about 3:30 this morning.

 

Working on my single edge focus for February. First use of the PAL blue carbon steel blade. It was a great blade and a perfect match for this Treet razor.

Great picture, Doug! I have to admit, when it is that cold, I look for a different kind of Wild Turkey.

 

Nice looking shave. Hard to go wrong with Electric Sheep.

 

Welcome to the thread, BTW!

 

Any will do Moose, car wax works great.

Thank you sir, every day it gets better! The teck head seems very forgiving with a good amount of audio feed back. Quite a bit different than my blackbeauty.

Thank you Jim. I prefer that Wild Turkey over the ones coming to eat my bird seed.

 

Got busy again, over 250 posts behind, but here's Saturday shave.

This is the first time with this combo but I'd have to say it's now a favorite. The Simpson's sandalwood and Stetson were made for each other. Won the Simpson's in last year's MAYhem draw @BaylorGator and now I realize the cuts and nicks were worth it. Have a great weekend guys!

 

Very nice, Doug!
Hope your cold breaks soon. We’ve been very warm here (7 Celsius today) but will turn cold tomorrow to about -18 C.

 

Yes, I am quite aware of that but thanks for pointing it out. I was referring to Adam saying the smell reminded him of his youth, as it does remind me of my Dad.

 

Wow, stunning brush and very cool colours in the pic!
