July 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Lights have been on without any problems. The weather on Long Island has been super. Now, I am not worried about Hurricane Barry because if it makes its way by me, it will be just a tropical storm. Hope @Fuzzy and @RyX will be ok!

 

Thank you keith

After a rainy stormy Saturday afternoon, it was nice to wake up to sunshine. After taking Mocha for her normal 1 1/2 mile morning walk, I enjoyed several cups of coffee followed by a relaxing shower and shave. The 30DC LE brush made short work of lathering the Lemon Myrtle soap. The Personna blade felt smoother this morning. The step down in sharpness from the Proline makes it more difficult on my lower right neck. However with a fourth buffing pass on the lower neck, I did manage to catch the baby. A splash of Myrsol Limon left me clean shaven and smelling nice. Now to finish off the rest of the coffee. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

 

Love the sepia tone picture. I have to grade that shave at AWESOMENESS. Have a great day Clint.

 

Thank you Danny. I hope you have a great day as well.

What's the difference between a great straight shave and a mediocre straight shave?
A sharp edge. Today's shave with the Detroit was a great shave, chin included.
No need to go over the same area 4-5 times with this blade, no sir.
Now how am I going to get this level of edge on all my razors? I don't know yet.
I do know that my honing skills at this point are not up to the challenge.
The Eufros soap, however, was mos def© up to the challenge. So was the CH2.
Super-slick 'n sloppy soap provided the perfect medium for the blade to work its magic.
Here's another tidbit: Just because you hear the "buttering toast" or the "tearing apart velcro" sounds,
does NOT mean that stubble is being removed. You can take that to the bank.
Really smooth results on most of the beard area, with the usual exceptions.
The Veg let its presence be known and smells fantastic.​

 

Well, I already did it to the Razorock Aqua Shaving Cream/Soap, and what a difference it made! But yes, I'll let you know about the others.

 

Cool photo and sweet setup amigo! Enjoy your day!

nice shave sir, lovely pic..

 

Thanks, Danny!

Thank you, Clint!
Love the Hemingway Accoutrements products. It took a couple of tries to get the shave cream figured out as I am very inexperienced with creams. Slick stuff but the real standout is the glorious scent. I have the full sized cream, aftershave and Relief Balsam waiting in the wings for when the sample's gone.

Thank you, Joe!
Love this brush! So much so I have a second one on the way to put one of my favorite badger knots in.

Thank you, Patrick!

Wonderful shave, Gary! A&E is a personal favorite.

Thank you!

Terrific, Clint! Love the nostalgic photo!

Great shave, Joseph!

Beautiful, Mark!
