March 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I hope that title does not stick! Y'all would not do that to me, would you?

 

Maybe they are asleep today or they are on a vacation.....I can only hope!

 

This is as close as I got to what it might be Jason.

I run into one of those a while back at an antique store but I passed. If it shaves as good as Terry stated I may have to see it it is still there.

 

I just purchased an "E" solid bar plate from a member of TSD. I hope it doesn't have too much bite. Should be in by the end of next week. This will give me a B, C & E plates for the Karve.

 

Hey now Danny, I said it shaved mild not good.

IF you like the mild razors or unlike me, can use a mild
razor, you might like it a lot.
and.... if you don't like it, not much money spent.

From a guy that's "smelling pretty" I think everyone needs a CT.

There's only one way to find out if they are asleep or on vacation.

Oh no..............you have awaken the Queen.

 

Day 84.

Things were pretty crazy here yesterday, and I never got a chance to snap a photo. Today was less than calm, but not so crazy.
Sapone di Paolo is another favorite that doesn't come around enough because I have too many soaps. I haven't even gotten around to trying his new Eleven formula. Maybe I'll pencil it in for 2025 or so...
Today, three nice easy passes with the Ralf Aust, a little cleanup with the G5. Yesterday I managed a slight nick, on the side of my chin. I blame Joseph for jinxing me.

 

Great picture with some great looking hardware!

Or I my need to plead for mercy before the Queen.

 

Love that brush....great picture.

 

Wrapping up my March Tech focus, today I used a gold ball end NDC post war. A perfect result after three full days without a shave. Proraso Green soap and splash to round it out. I do believe at this point I can get the same results with any of the razors I own. The only razor I've tried (and purchased three different times) that I couldn't get along with was the mk1 Fatip Grande. Just recently PIF'ed the last one I owned and will most certainly never own another. Ever. Ever.

I think for the month of April I'll skip the thirty day rule/focus and just choose whatever strikes my fancy. I've recently acquired a few more vintage Gillettes that need some face time.

 

Or maybe someone would drop a suggestion like “The First Fuzzette”. Who knows?

 

I was wondering when Mr. Fancy Pants was going to chime in.

Good evening guys!
I couldn't wait for tomorrow to shave.
At the beginning of the month, I had 4 vintage razors that would be my focus and would repeat tomorrow and Sunday with my Herder. However, I am ending my vintage square point razor month focus with a bang. I acquired another Wosty that is a 7/8 square, but it is my first near wedge. Brought out the Stirling Sapienza and face lathered using my Semogue OC badger. Shaving with this near wedge is different than a full or half hollow. The feedback is not as great and it feels like you are not shaving off the whiskers. Did 3 passes, no touchups, nicked inside my nostril and a weeper. I nicked my nostril because the angle of a near wedge is different and I misjudged it. No biggie! I did get a nice BBS shave. I like the fact that I didn't have to do a fool's pass to get the moustache area BBS. Finished with Pacienza AS.
I am very satisfied with the near wedge. What a way to end the month with a new toy having a near wedge razor shave for the first time.
Result Grade 95 = A
Have a great evening fellas!
