September 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

My missus asked me why i was taking pictures in the bathroom.....

 

I have noticed that i don't get nicks with carbon steel Treets, even if used with canned foam, which isn't as slick as the lather i make. I'll experiment with the Arko creams and Haslinger soaps after these 30 days, been thinking of trying Tabac as well as i like the scent. I like the Astras in my Feather Popular, but it is a little bit milder compared to the Merkur. Maybe i'll find a better match for it.

Showering works well as a prep, but i don't always have time for it. I have usually spent atleast a minute rinsing my face with warm water if showering isn't an option.

I will concentrate even more on technique and experiment with the lather.

 

Wonderful shave and post, Paul!

 

Are you stealing @BaylorGator 's jokes, Joe?

 

Thank you.....it even got me a couple "looks" at my version of Piggly Wiggly. (The shave, not the report lol).

 

Now I have to decide whether to gift my friends some Feathers or Voskhods. I don't want to upset @Terry or @NCoxSTL (actually I like rattling their cages ), so they'll probably get some of each. They need to know about Russian steel right up front...and my Doc friend will like the fact that Feather also manufactures surgical tools.

 

Maybe. I actually have a sharpened butterknife somewhere.
No, i'm not going to shave with it.

 

Great shave and review of the test soap, Joseph!

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

Looking good Joe. I hope you are having a great day.

 

I think blades make the shave. I know others differ. I find my skin is to soft and rough for the uber-sharp blades and they can cause me problems.
Tabac is ok. I think it could be slicker, but you won't find anything better than your Arko Comfort.
How many shaves are on the Astra? I don't suffer a worn blade too well either.

 

Where is this "neighborhood"....Do you have a shaving item store near you(that is, a MAJOR one, like Stoylin,)?

 

Still praying for you and your family, Danny

 

Excellent shave, Douglas! It's too bad Folsom went out of business because I have heard only good things about their soap.

 

Great shave and presentation, Jason!

 

Congrats on the purchase Charlie. If you need any more suggestions, I can help out.

 

Thank you Clint. Cattle in the background just for you.

 

Sorry for his loss...I sure wish I could remember my Dad's shaving paraphernalia. I think he liked Mennen(Skin Bracer)and Old Spice. He like to use an electric shaver a lot. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

 

Yes, because we don't know Finnish phonetics and would pronounce the titles in our tongue.

 

Evan, very niice!
