August 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Dale, nice post and shave. I am a headshaver and don't use a mirror to shave the back of my head because I do it by feel. Shaving your face w/o a mirror shouldn't be a problem. You just have to feel for residual stubble after each pass until you feel smooth. The difficulty would be landing the razor without cutting yourself. I would keep the cap flush on the face and slowly lift until the razor cuts whiskers and continue shaving at that angle.

 

Thank you Joe.

Two weigh too much. I passed on the tuckaway case with ikon tuckaway handle because of the weight. Just one razor in a plastic case. I have feather portable and a bakelite gillette tech case. The head just needs to be comfy and easy to use with no mirror and tired hands.

 

Thank you Terry.

I'm so sorry, Clint. I pray that it clears quickly.

 

The Goodwill gave you a golden shave, Jason

 

Clubman does have some ingredient that leaves a nice face feel. If the user and Significant Other can abide the strong barbershopiness of the scent, there's much to applaud for how it lingers and nourishes my face.

A departure from most DE & Gem type SE handles that are simple cylinders with or without knurling. Schicks, Kamisori, and SR offer indexing - a handle shape that lets the user feel angle adjustments. With the cap off
I see similarities to the Merkur Futur styling. The blade ends are covered by tabs or turned down flaps. The little outriggers protect from heel and toe - the corners of the blade. Some nice design touches that would benefit a recent Cart convert.

 

Nice razor Jason, looks great.

@clint64, hope your stomach feels better. I know you are working, but take it a little easier than usual, my friend.

 

Thank you Charlie. It’s likely my fault but I do hope it clears up quickly.

Good Monday, Gentlemen!

I started my week with a new product, T&H Sandalwood shave cream, for a very enjoyable shave. It takes a great deal of water and works into a very proper English lather using a proper English brush. (@brit's chest is protruding like a proud Dad.) The scent is delicate and pleasant, and it's a nice change of pace from the C.O. Bigelow menthol hit. The Kent easily whipped up more lather than I needed for 2+ trips around the mug, save the eyebrows.

A BBFNBBS© shave inevitably resulted using tried and true focus gear. Mos def! All rights reserved.

Happy Monday!

 

Thank you, Gary!

Not possible, Paul! More is better!

 

Thanks Terry. May your Servers serve all week!

 

Course I had the Gent's Gin this morning, not the Original,. but Doc Pinaud is standing there on both, so you do have a point .
