October 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thanks, Jason! It still was a rush shave because I did 2 passes instead of my normal 2.5 passes. Otherwise, I would have had a BBS shave. I am flexible with my shaves that I don't have to get a BBS shave every time. The quality of my shave is dependent on what is acceptable to me for my work and for my social events.

 

Don’t sweat it. My family doesn’t get it either so I don’t discuss this with them unless they ask me and then I’ll try to keep it really simple.

Well, my British Crat Jr has a different baseplate. I’d guess a HD Rocket or a different Crat Jr than the standard #51/53.

Thank you! I gotta get in on the next brush deal. The few 30DC brushes I’ve seen look beautiful! Clearly you do excellent work on the brushes.

Perhaps the @Queen of Blades can come up with a CT acknowledging your Shavette-Fu Mastery.

You have been incredibly elusive.

 

Thank you Gary

Moi?
For whatever reason when I’ve said something silly or made a mistake, folks didn’t jump on it. It’ll happen when it happens. I consider it a badge of honour I’ve lasted this long.

 

Thanks, Ken. I enjoy making turnings for friends on here for sure.

I havent posted a SOTD post for over a week, i apologise, things have been hectic at college over the last two weeks.

Double SOTD:
Shave one: this shave was 30th shave with the 7 o clock sharp edge blade, and its last as it started tugging. It had a very good run though, and the sharp edges have become my go to blade for longevity. I'll definitely be ordering a 100 pack of them when my blade reserves get low which could take a year or two. The only blade ive used that lasts longer is the feathers, which is the next blade to receive at least a 30 shave treatment although i might use it for longer.

Razor: Gillette Super Speed flare tip (UK)
Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave
Blade: Gillette 7 o clock sharp edge(30)
Soap: Col Conk lime
Aftershave balm: prep

Shave 2:
The first shave with the fresh feather and what a fantastic blade. This is the second feather ive used, and if it wasnt for its high price it would be my main blade too. Perfect for speed shaves in a mild razor or a perfect BBS shave if you pair it with an agressive razor like a fatip piccolo. These blades have a reputation for "drawing blood" but as long as your technique is good and you use 0 pressure, you're highly unlikely to cut yourself. Its so sharp that i didnt even feel it shaving my whiskers and at first i thought it wasnt doing anything until i rinsed it off and realised how good these blades really are lol. BBS shave in 3 passes with 0 irritation.

Razor: Gillette super speed flare tip(UK)
BRUSH: OMEGA 49
Blade: feather hi-stainless(1)
Soap: Arko shave stick
Aftershave Balm: prep
