October 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Very nice to see you're checking back in Danny. Missed seeing your projects and pot stirring (always in fun & good ways!). Hopefully the family duties continue to move towards less stressful, and the needed rest calms the heart and mind for remembering the better times.

Can't wait to see and hear how that OC ATT plate and setup works on ~96 hours of growth!

 

True, coffee is a must have. Black coffee. No sugar or other nonsense.

 

Thanks Blair....it is great to be back and "contribute" to the cause so to speak. I'll keep you updated on the ATT OC. I don't see Above the Tie razors much on TSD. Do you have any experiences with ATT?

 

Thanks! It was, didn't cause any more issues than what i already had.

I hope you'll have a great day too! I'm cleaning it right now, looks quite promising to me.

I might shave with it and canned goo, i'll dedicate that shave to you

Razor: Gillette NEW LC
Blade: PolSilver Super Iridium
Brush: Omega S-Brush
PS: Proraso
SS: Razorock Blue Label
AS: Axe Black

Hard to believe I haven't used my Redtip or Fatboy in a month. I have enjoyed branching out which I think is the spirit of 30DC. I'll continue to try new things. I would never have tried SE razors without some encouragement.

It's already been a long week. Spent the last 2 days in the hospital. My wife was in a lot of pain so we took her to the ER. Felt pretty silly taking her to the ER for what felt like bad gas. Well, it was a heart attack.

The internet saved her life. I'm familiar with heart attack symptoms in men, but women tend to voice different complaints. Quick search of her symptoms and the results raised enough concern to take her in.

She has very minimal damage because we had her in the ER within 2 hours of the onset of symptoms. In fact her EKG's are all normal.

Feeling pretty blessed and thankful today. My wife and I are best friends with an easy, mostly conflict free marriage. Sure glad she's still in my life.

 

Terrific shave, Jason!

 

Super shave, Gary!

PAA PS - Tube 2.0
PAA SS - John Frum
2019 30DC jtspartan handle/Omega boar knot
Friodur 5/8
PAA AS - John Frum

3 pass DFS+ Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements setup today. Blissful aroma & face feel, starting with PAA's Tube 2.0 pre-shave to get things moving. Jason's 30DC handle a joy to hold, the Omega knot with PAA's CK6 formulation creating a lather that checks every box of a top shelf lather for me. The Henkels Friodur, always a great shaver, smooth and sharp, just barely off of calling this a BBS shave. Finished with matching 'John Frum' AS & Cologne...a very pleasant musky (semi sweet & peppery) fragrance after the dry down. Easily passed the wifey approval test this morning.

Hope everyone has a Wonderful Wednesday!

 

Cool everything Clint. Love that brush! Hopefully the vet visit is non eventful for Mocha!

 

Good shave, but a great save concerning your wife, Evan. Thank God, that it wasn't devastating!

 

Beautiful shave, Blair!

 

@Hembree, Danny, welcome back! You were deeply missed my friend.

 

Hopefully everyone starts feeling better soon Perry! We've been lucky....no flu....but 'The Crud' seems to make it round our house a couple times a year. No fun when it shows up!

Great setup Jason! Love the brush. And nice donut!

Nice Gary, more great image work!

 

Good to see you posting again Danny. I hope you are doing well. Congrats on the new base plates. Those will look fantastic with the SS Top Plate and handle.

 

Take care Perry. I hope everyone feels better soon.

 

Great shave and very thankful for your wife's outcome.

 

Awesome shave Blair!

 

Great photo and shave Jason. Good work on repairing the handle

 

Thanks Joe and I missed everyone as well. I can say that I have grown attached to this group.

 

No experience with ATT products. Early on, I was making 'The List' for DE razors that I wanted. ATT was next after a couple vintage Gillettes and a Blackland Dart. Then I started having success w/open blades, and that obsession overshadowed all my DE purchases (along with lots of software ).

Happy and thrilled for you and your wife, Evan. Nice save, literally. Doctors sometimes roll their eyes on internet self-research, and rightly so (when factoring in social media). But....educated and reasonable research should always be encouraged. No different than the generations having encyclopedia set(s) in their houses/bedrooms (thanks Mom and Dad!).
