March 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Great shave and I want the truck.

 

Thanks Gary. I may have to invest in some new shaving goodies once I get settled.

 

Umm, you wern't too specific about which year?
Think She has plans for the basement?

A badger, a boar, & a synth in flat tops. Nice shopping list! Which handles are you considering? R-400 with multiple ferrules?

Lubrication. There's always time. And ice cream.

Huh, next thing you know a bunch of 30DC are sporting bandaids on their elbows. Hee hee
I just read this in another thread;

Does anyone do this, or have tried it?

 

Thanks. Unfortunately I can't. I used to smoke cigarettes, for a very long time. Quit 10 years ago. I did enjoy an occasional cigar back then though.

 

Thanks, Gary.

 

Thanks, Jim.

 

March Madness!!

March 26
Razor - Van der Hagen (Weishi)
Blade - (2)
Soap - Soap Commander Courage
Brush - Semogue 620
Post - Alum

Time to give the Asco its second shot in the VDH razor. Given that it's a Lord blade I'm a bit skeptical on how it might do over three shaves. I grabbed the Semogue 620 boar and Soap Commander to at least give it a nice slick lather to work with. To my surprise it was a rather smooth and very successful shave. I didn't really notice any drag or other issues and the three passes were all great quality and productive passes. Seems like the baby is either here or close enough to call here and the alum was silent, so no irritation issues. Rather a nice shave from a blade that I have rarely used and comes from a less than stellar pedigree.

I'll take a break from Mild March Madness one more time tomorrow to jump back into Williams Wednesday! Bet you didn't see THAT one coming did you! I'm in the mood to shake things up over the next few days. Another Williams Wednesday seems like a good way to do that. Submitting my resignation at Mattress Firm seems like another good way to shake things up a bit. I believe I'll try that to. Those big changes I mentioned a couple of weeks ago? Yep. They're starting to take shape. Don't worry. Cartel HQ is safe and sound, and definitely isn't going anywhere. Especially with Arko (adjustable) April just a few days away! Have a great Wednesday!

​

 

I have a couple of vintage handles that I want to reknot. Like I need more brushes.

 

That is my kind of shake up...getttt itttt!

 

I am not sure how that works...but I will buy in on the name alone.

 

Indeed it is Good Sir!!

 

Maybe keep that in your back pocket until MAYhem?

 

Yup. These ole open combs are fun.

 

I stay behind.

 

Definitely better to restore a vintage to me. Like choosing a dog. Go to the puppy mill where they churn em out by the litter. Or adopt an old dog, maybe your buddies hound that don't hunt.

 

Vintage is almost always better.... except for food maybe.

 

March is it Tuesday?

Managed to slip in some shave time late afternoon. Blood on Steel software gave great results for an easy no damage better than average DFS. Headed to bed to get up and do another day.
Good Shaves Y'all!
