April 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Very good black & white photo with a great post Jason.

 

I have a few different APShaveCo synthetics, Danny. This Cashmere, plus the Tuxedo, the SynBad and the Flattop. My favourite is the SynBad bulb. This Cashmere is quite soft. The tuxedo is the stiffest of the bunch, but still with soft tips.

 

Whoa, really cool photo, Jason! Hope the day smooths out some and this weekend is good for you.

 

I have a few of them. I am very happy with the Cashmere knots from APShave.

 

Mmm. Thank you. I look at some of the other scents.

Thanks, Doug!
Grizzly Bay Brushworks has a shop on Etsy. He releases a new batch on Fridays at 5:00pm CST. You can see the new offerings on their Facebook page. They usually sell out in minutes so you have to be quick.

Sure do Danny. When Jason labored to provide The 30DC with LE brushes we arranged a group Buy from APShaveCo. Easy shipping since it's located in Canada.
Here's mine set in cypress.
The fibers are as soft, maybe softer than the Tuxedo synthetic.
The texture of the fibers may be unique. It lathers well. I recommend them if you like a soft face feel. Absolutely no scritch.

 

Thanks Jason & Doug.

 

Thanks a bunch for the input. The knot does look great set in cypress.

 

I thought I had better mention the powder to you.
L'Orange Verte would be a wonderful replacement for the diminishing Lollipop Citrus.

Thanks Jim. It was a great shave, for sure. I had so much fun with it last night that I repeated it again this morning before I worked on my taxes. Still have a bit to go, but it looks like I'll get a refund this year. I wasn't expecting that, so all is good.

 

Very nice, Jim. Do you have an opinion yet on the difference between the Ranger Tech and the British 'Crat Jr?

Agree completely on the Bigelow/Proraso Green, Charlie. I also remember when I first got it that I thought it was heavily mentholated. Now, I'd guess it is my least mentholated Menthol soap or cream.

Great combo, Perry! I guess your weekends will start to be filled up with packing and such very soon.

Yup, life's like that.

Great review again of the Duke, Clint. Is it also quite a bit smaller than the CH2?

Is the scent the same as the Arko soap?

Very different looking handles for sure. Reminds me of Goldschlager with the clear resin and the gold flake.

Given your nice combos from PAA and B&M, Jim, that is high praise for A&E indeed.

 

Thank you, Gentlemen. Clint, this day will only get better when it is over!

 

We'll see what it's like but I do know the clone worth buying is the CJB from South Korea. It's a clone of the Feather DX and @Keithmax can get you a deal on one anytime.

 

PAA CK6 edges A&E for post shave. B&M Excelsior edges A&E for slickness. Overall goes to A&E. In my opinion of course.

Day 91.

Another go at the Haslinger Ringelblumen this morning. I guess it wasn't as close as I thought it was. It's still hanging in there. Rest assured, it will give up before I do.
The Gravjura and the Karve were both good to me today. No complaints there.
To finish, the WSP barbershop aftershave sample. Not a bad scent, but I'm glad that I went with a sample. He has others that I much prefer.

 

Super picture, Robert!
