March 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Very nice Saturday morning shave, Gary. I can't wait to see the finished Falcon. Keep the models coming!

Growing up, the gent across the street had a restored Falcon. It must have had a 289. He could burn the back wheels anytime he wanted. We also had a few Novas, Fairlanes, and even a Corvair in the neighborhood. My mom drove a Bel Air, a Fairlane, a Country Squire, a Camaro and a Nova before she settled in with a Taurus. My favorite car from childhood (and still is) was the 67 Jaguar Type E convertible that my Dad's friend drove. Cars were really cool in the 60s and 70s. Now they all look like spaceships and pills.

That doesn't sound good, Jim. I hope your day went smoother than expected.

 

If The Pig carries it...well, you know.

 

Thanks, Charlie.
The Fatboy is going to be a regular part of the rotation.

All the classy kids use Williams you know...

 

Wow, vintage Fuzzy! That is a classic.

After a cut my woman was what the heck, I said ‘chicks did scars.’ Her reply, ‘not this chick, now people are going to think I did it.’

 

Closing out March with my biggest razor, Mike Martinez Karasu, a 9/8 monster with a big smile. The CF as always created a great lather, I thought I really nailed the shave but it fell just short of epic on both irritation and closeness, but all in all a very fun shave.

That razor is Crazy Cool, Keith.

 

That's three years in real-shaving time, John.

 

Thank you, Fuzzy. I have been to Houston so many times the past few weeks, my truck knows the way by itself.

 

Thank you, Clint, the trip was worth it.

 

Thank you Jim.

 

Man, that's such a mean looking razor! Love it!

Excellent picture, Jason!

 

The meeting wasn't work related, so all was well. It was actually a great meeting with some wonderful men. We had some great discussion and fellowship.

 

Thank you, Joseph!

Good morning!

Wonderful shave to start the day! Three passes with touch up. Near BBS with a touch of warmth from the alum.

Another month in the books. Thirty one great shaves! My plan was to use the ATT S1, Astra SP's, B&M soaps and the Omega boar for the entire month. That was the plan anyway. I did use B&M soaps and aftershaves everyday. The Omega boar and Astra SP's were used twenty nine times. The ATT S1 made twenty five appearances. Not exactly what I set out to do but not bad.

See you all next month!
