June 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Danny, that's what I call "fine" enabling. Lol!

 

Fantastic shave lineup and photo Jim. Congrats on the new additions to the den and putting them into rotation so quickly.

Will be a future consideration. Right now I need more aftershaves than soaps. Need to whittle down the latter.

 

Joe I can not beLEAVE you just said that!!!

 

Great shave and photo Danny. Happy Monday.

I'd probably open with the Creed Adventus dupe.

 

Thank you, Clint!

Day 2 with the Single Ring. 72 hrs of growth, as I didn’t shave at the lake this weekend. The BoS and V1 LE Brush seemed appropriate this morning. Took it to the bowl to M bomb it for Menthol Monday. 3 passes later and I am quite smooth. One weeper is all the blood on steel I got.
Have a great day all!

I'm glad to hear that everyone returned home safely from the meetup. We got home yesterday afternoon after spending the night in Mt. Vernon, IL. We both had a wonderful time with great friends, and we're already looking forward to next year.

I had to try out some of my new goodies this morning. A big shout of to @jtspartan for the masterful job he did on the 2019 30 DC LE brush. It's a beautiful addition to my Den, and it performs even better than it looks. I simply like everything about it, and it gives my other 30 DC LE brush a run for the money.

Another shout out to @ezlovan. Rod, it was a pleasure meeting you, and this was the first time I shaved with one of your scented soaps. If I could describe your soap with two words, it would be creamy slick. It paired perfectly with the new LE brush, and its performance is outstanding. How could it not be with my three favorite shaving ingredients: tallow, lanolin, and shea butter? My Bride and I both love the mildly spicy scent. It smells great and is not overpowering. This was the first time I've paired a soap with the matching aftershave, and it feels like a million bucks. A big thanks to you, Rod. You created a masterpiece here. Thank you for your skill and kindness.

I received some other goodies from the meetup from @Keithmax and @NCoxSTL that I will share soon. A big thanks to both of you fine gentlemen.

Two passes with the Goose on two days of growth, and I'm ready to visit my sweet kiddos.

Happy Monday!

 

I love the warm tones of your photos Jason. I hope you have a great day.

Great photo Danny! Glad you are making progress with the kami-shavette. Little steps & add areas as you feel comfortable. You'll know you've arrived the first time you do a complete shave with just the pain stick, no DE touch ups. Can't say mine replaces a DE shave, but it's fun learning

Nice set up Jason! I wasn't impressed with the Single Ring styling though I do like an OC razor. In photos the handles look an awful lot like a plain old early TTO Super Speed. Going to get in several more shave with mine to see just how efficient these blade holders really are.

 

Beautiful picture, Clint! Have a great Monday!

 

Great set up Charlie! I like the perspective on the brush & knot. Makes that flat top very evident - how does it lather? Someone is going to have to spill the beans about the new BoS scent soon. How else can the rest of us go perfume sniffing to know what it smells like? Glad both you and SWMBO like it!

 

June 24 SOTD:

Razor: Gillette Sheraton
Blade: Gillette Nacet
Brush: PAA The Green Ray
Lather: MWF
Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Unconditional Surrender

It was a late morning for me as I dropped my daughter off at the church for youth camp before heading to work. I got the Fat for a nice Monday morning shave. I did two passes with the Sheraton for a DFS. I finished with a little CL Unconditional Surrender, and my Monday was off to a good start. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Pretty picture, Jim!

 

Wonderful picture, Danny!

 

Thanks Clint. Happy Monday!

 

Terrific picture, Charlie!
