November 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Nice picture, Danny!

 

Beautiful picture and brush, Clint!

 

Well i decided to do a 1,5 pass shave anyways. Tiny nick which was totally my fault, i lost concentration, but it wasn't bad at all. Now i can get through the weekend, get some growth going and mow it down at monday. With the same setup of course.

Have a nice day!

 

Awesome picture, Joseph! I look forward to seeing it again.

 

Beautiful black and white picture, Daniel!

 

Nice shave, Primo!
I'll have to try the MWF at some point.

 

Thanks, Jim!

Good to see you are moving forward on the second opinion at the Mayo Clinic. You guys continue to be in my prayers.

 

Thank you Jim. I love the way Krampert's bay rum makes my face feel but the scent doesn't last. So I tripled up today. Bay rum soap, CC Aftershave and Krampert's.

I wanted to use this soap on a Friday, so I waited a few days to try it out. It is terrific. The performance is as expected, but this scent is just awesome. Off the puck, I got a lot of citrus and spice, but when it lathered it was so much more. Definitely some bitter, spiced citrus on the top. Just lovely. Shortly, though the nutmeg kicks in, and it smells of freshly ground nutmeg. This can often be overpowering, but it was balanced nicely. A few hints of pepper work their way in as well. Then I get this vanilla and honey scent, which is odd as that isn't listed. But, saffron is part of the scent, which can have a sweet, vanilla scent. So, this is ever present. Some nice tobacco fills in the background for well composed scent. Very much fall, just due to the combination of scents used. This is really a terrific scent, immediately jumping up my list of favorites. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Wonderful picture, Mark!

 

Thank you Perry. It certainly worked on a cold morning. Maybe I can get a bay rum pre shave soap and go for a bay rum home run.

 

Nice shaves and pics, gents!

 

Thank you Daniel.

 

The repeated shave doesn't bore me at all, Joseph. Your posts are always informative and entertaining and your pictures are clear and well-done. Keep it up!

 

Wonderful shave and photo, Jim! Thanks for the great description of Astro Traveler. I have an aftershave sample of that I'll get to at some point.

 

Thank you, Daniel!

 

Beautiful photo and setup, Mark!

 

Wonderful shave and photo Joseph. I am sending the girls a link to the shave tonic site in hopes I get some for my birthday or Christmas.

Thank you Joseph. So many bay rum scents are trying to be something else, its nice to just get the real thing.
