May 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

BLT = Bacon Loaded Tall

 

Banana Split from the same place...

Yeah, I'd try it.

 

I have a used Starling V2 on the way in with 13 new blades. This has been on my radar for a while.

 

Oh. Chicken feet. I though y'all were discussing chubby redheads, or skinny blondes. Anyone seen Fuzzy @wchnu recently?

Mine was at a donut shop. I still eat em, but it made me picky for fresh. Cinnamon and apple bits in a still warm, well glazed bear claw.

 

MAYhem Straight up!

Gillette NEW Long Comb
Jeeves of Hudson Street BoS AS

Worked up a bowl of lather and applied a dab to the ceramic hone. Gave the square toed blade a couple passes for a refresh. Twenty laps on linen, then leather from one of Adam's @Drygulch strops. The lather was prepared a little on the wet side as compared to a DE mix. I took WTG passes cheek and neck using either hand as was comfortable. Rather than push my luck, switched off to the Gillette for the rest of the reduction. Great slickness from the soap, and Jason's @jtspartan handle always pleases with the synth knot. No nicks, very smooth where the SR did it's duty. The old NEW LC cleaned up the rest for a nice DFS. Grand daughter Melody walked in as I was putting away my gear, "Blood on Steel? Mmm pie!" She thinks it's apple pie flavored.
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

Great shave report now get your grandaughter some apple pie.

 

She already told me,"When come back, bring pie!"

 

Glad you liked it, Jim! Island Cow is another fun place to eat.

Thanks, Jim!

 

I was getting worried. This is one sweet razor.

Perry, that is scary when the doctor says 'I don't know' more than once. I hope your eye returns to normal quickly.

 

Sunday Shave

This Dubl Duck is one cool looking razor and even though it is a big duck, 7/8 the grind is so thin it is lite. EDBIO continues with a Rooney Emilion in Best.

Irritation A+ Closeness A+ Smoothness A+ Sharpness

Razor: Dubl Duck
Strop: Herold Russian Leather
Brush: Rooney Emilion 3
Pre: Proraso
Soap: WCS
AS: Fine Snake Bite AS, Stirling ASB
Scent: MDCI Invasion Barbare

 

Great shave and the Rooney is beautiful.

 

Thanks, Danny! In some respects, headshaving is more of an art than faceshaving. I have been headshaving over 10 years and it has helped my skills tremendously.

Good evening, guys!
Just finished Dovo Shavette shave # 66.
I used the same setup as #65. Working with a new blade, got a near BBS on 2 passes and touchup. One very miniscule weep on mustache area. It was a very satisfying shave. Finished with Old Spice AS.
Result: Grade 95 = A
Sorry I didn't take pics!
Have a good evening!

 

Naw, not that much work!

Not hereabouts, but he posted a video this morning on youtube.

 

Now I just need to shave my head.....no I don't think so. God only made s few perfect heads and the rest he covered with hair. I figure I have a ugly head so we will leave it at that.

 

Sorry about the weeper Joe.

 

I agree! Lol!

 

Thanks Danny, but it was so insignificant that it really wasn't worth mentioning. In every report, I am open and honest about even the tiniest wounds. 99% of my mishaps are tiny weepers and it usually is when the blade is new. In my 134 straight shaves, I have never badly cut myself. Anyway, I find straight-shaving enjoyable.

 

It's all about being careful and staying focused.

 

True, however, you still can get them even when you are focused and careful. I have seen the "experts" on you tube videos get cuts and weeps. I have always said to minimize the cuts or weepers, one needs to use slow and deliberate strokes. Anyway, I appreciate your concern.
