February 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thank you Jason! It's the gear that made the look, not my camera skills.

I thought about that before I posted mine today.

Clint - when I found myself in your position I'd consider leaving a strategically placed, but easy to clean mess. She'll feel like you just can't do without her, though you really did try. If that doesn't work out remember I didn't suggest you do it. That's what I've done

 

Fatboy Shave #5

I can admit when i am wrong. My drag issue was because I had a heavy hand. There, I said it. The razor does look good after taking a little car wax to it though.

Today was the first shave with the Fatboy that didn't draw blood. NBBS with very little razor burn. Just focused on letting the weight of the razor do the work. Thanks for the help guys!

This thread has gotten personal today. Keep up the good work fending off blood clots @Terry and @wristwatchb. Happy anniversary @Paul76.

One of the reasons this shave was a good one for me was that my 3 year old son was watching as he played with his cars. He would ask a question about why I was making some weird face, then say, "Daddy, look at this trash truck! It just said it was stinky." Fun shave.

 

happy anniversary @Paul76 ..

 

Where do you find this stuff? Don't you have a house to build or something?
Here we go again picking on the otter. You really should give the otter a chance, Charlie. He's a nice fella.
I actually think I like the orange scent of Mike's ever so slightly better than what Stirling offers - and that's a pretty high bar. Stirling nails orange scents.

 

Fine sells some really neat looking blade disposal slots, @wristwatchb

 

What a high end, stunning combo Gary! That razor is an absolute stunner.

 

Thank you, Jim.

 

It was. 6-time Champ in the house. He looked to be playing weight from 50 ft away.

 

February Favorites!!

February 9

Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy (9)
Blade - (1)
Soap - Stirling Mountain Man
Brush - Jayaruh #46
Post - Alum

Moving to another favorite razor, my birth year and quarter Fatboy. I chose the Rapira Platinum Lux blade to pair with the razor, Stirling Mountain Man and JR46 for the lather. Of course, the Fatty is set on "me". Wide open at 9. Three days of the Aristocrat has tamed the over the top razor burn I suffered and I'm ready to get back at it!

Three passes and all were very smooth, as is expected with this blade and razor. I finished with a BBS, very quiet alum, no issues, no blood, no problem, no worries, no way this was less than an excellent shave. I'm already anticipating to get to do it again tomorrow! I'm a bit behind on here after a busy day with the "day job". I'll get to reading and get caught up. Hope everyone had a great Saturday and that the rest of your weekend is awesome!

Beautiful razor and brush.

 

We did! My wife and daughter wanted to hit a few antiques stores so I drove
I came home with three goodies.

 

Thank you, Gentlemen.

 

Awesome, Paul! Happy anniversary!

 

Nice haul! Love that DD brush, it will clean up well. Is there soap in that tube, Brian?

 

Your neck of the woods

 

Looks similar to mine.

 

The travel doctor that I see recommended I take baby aspirin for a few days before flying, for exactly that reason. Washington Dulles to Addis Ababa is 13 hours nonstop.

 

I’m glad Kathy is improving. Give her my best. I’ll continue to pray for her.

 

thank you jason.the crown jewel ..

 

Always. I wouldn't let you down.
