March 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thank you Charlie. I am feeling much better. The blood pressure is well under control and the weight is coming off. Now if my elbow will completely heal, I will be in very good shape.

 

Wonderful picture, Charlie! I am glad Mrs. Danger is doing better!

 

Super shot, Danny!

 

Excellent black and white photo, Perry!

 

Sounds like a great shave, Stephen.

The L'Occitane Cade soap and balm were Christmas gifts from my wife. I am really impressed with the soap. I have found it easy to lather with a very pleasant scent. I can't really describe the scent but I do know I like it. Three passes and touch ups left me with the baby in hand. A splash of mentholated witch hazel followed by the Cade balm and the Guerlain Vetiver EdT left me clean shaven and smelling fantastic. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

 

It was quite nice, 75/25 bay rum to electric sheep, the bayrum overpowered the eucalyptus and made the lemongrass smell more like lemon. It aas nice.

 

Beautiful picture, Clint! Glad to hear the blood pressure is doing better.

 

It was, and in my mind a little nick or cut can add to the excitement (not to mention i get to use more shave stuff when it happenes lol)

 

March 7 SOTD:

Razor: PAA Starling V2
Blade: Gem Stainless
Brush: Ever-Ready 150
Lather: Speick Shave Stick
Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Gratiot League Square
Additional Care:
Stirling Unscented PSB

This was my best shave yet with the Starling. This razor definitely requires a light touch, and I think the light razor makes me want to press a bit. A little steeper angle than normal for a SE, but it does give a nice shave once you have it all figured out. I still get a little dragging, but still a nice shave. Two passes for a DFS. A little CL Gratiot League Square, and my day was off to a great start. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Thanks Jim
Great razor.

Thank you, Terry!

 

That's a nice pic sir! I was looking at that razor, it may end up in my den in the future.

 

Thank you, Stephen. It takes a little getting used to, but it does appear to be a good shaver.

 

I like Jim!
Woul you like to try my V2 mod?

Razor: ATT S1
Blade: Astra SP (1)
Brush: Switchback/Omega boar
Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
Soap: B&M Reserve Spice
Lucky Tiger face tonic
PAA Star Jelly unscented
AS: B&M Reserve Spice

Good morning!

Wonderful shave to start the day! Two pass with touch up, near BBS. Still no report from the alum.

I'm guilty of proclaiming BBS when not quite there. The hollows of my neck where the hair grows flat and the skin is bumpy consistently has slight stubble remaining. Nothing visible but it is there.

The hairs on the Omega knot are starting to split and the animal smell is nearly gone. I'm really enjoying this brush/handle combination.

Have a great day!

Thank you, Terry! I may consider following suit on it. I have decided. I am going to try to get through this month with the razor as is to see how I adjust to it.

 

Excellent shave, Jim!

 

Thank you, Jim!

Thank you Perry! I received this one in a PIF couple years ago before I joined TSD. It's definitely quality gear. When I lived in Atlanta I knew where Ikea was, drove passed it often, but never visited. Ought to next time I'm there.

Thank you Clint! Old School is Cool.

Ahh, you sent me on a quest! Cade is a plant that grows around the Mediterranean from sea level to one mile altitude. Also called spiky juniper, the essential oil is drawn from the wood and smells of ancient campfires. If you like the scent of the soap you can get the straight up oil that can be used in room fresheners, or applied directly to skin.
