February 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I figured you would get pigs ears from a pig. I don't think you could get a pigs ear from a calf.

 

February Favorites

Williams SS w/ AquaVelva AS added
Surrey/VDH original boar knot brush
Suribachi bowl and warm water
Fatip Piccolo OC DE razor
Personna Platinum Red blade
Pinaud Clubman AS Lotion
Inspired by newest 30 Day Crew Member Carl @MaxG I used similar gear. The Williams soap is Modern but mulched into an old Old Spice mug with Ice Blue AV AS added. The brush I picked up at a garage sale and with repeated use either it's done shedding or quit dropping bristles out of loneliness. Warm water to make my lather since it's seasonably cool here on the South Coast. I have used Israeli made generic Personna blades, but these are from a tuck with all the proud markings. Nice smooth beard reduction in the open comb toothed blade holder. This is a razor that teaches Ride The Cap. Knocked the scab off a previous shaving misadventure and nicked another hole in my epidermis right next door on my chin. No great blood loss, just a reminder these razors can bite. Liberal splash of Pinaud that obliterated any hint of the soap & AS scent.
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

Old school, Rick! Looks like the kind of shave you might need to do in a leather trenchcoat.

 

Good report, Randy. Stay focussed!

Thank you Joe.

I know, crazy, right? Used it for three + years and got all but $50 back in a sale. I think that was a win.

Thank you, Jim.

A cold virus made it's way through daycare late last week. The boys are sick, mom and dad are sick, the babysitter is sick. Hopefully we all get over this quickly.

Get well soon everybody.

 

I hope you and everyone else gets well real soon.

 

I've never owned one, but my motorcycle jacket is still around. When I rode a bike (82 Honda Magna 750) a few years ago I got on the bay and found a very nearly new Fonzie style made by Barney's Leathers. From a different vendor I got the matching chaps. Both need a thorough saddle soap treatment and a good oil rub down because they have dried just hanging in the closet.

Looks to be an artistic rendering of The Great Seal of The United States. There are a bunch of numbers repeated in the original - 13 for the original colonies.

Why isn't that guy wearing sandals?

Thanks Doug! Gotta make The New Guy feel at home. At least for his first shave. The Custom Title Committee will be along shortly to audit the thread.

 

Nice shave Rick.

Love the Proraso Gary.

I would have bought a lotto ticket the day you sold it .

 

Went around our house also. Usually my daughter brings ot home from school. Get well soon.
