November 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I try not to get close enough to smell Hipsters. They could send me anything, and I'd have to take their word on the scent.

 

NOvember

MWF~~Rubberset 400/3~~Wade & Butcher~~Derby City
Even considering a cold water shave was out of the question today.
Fact is, I am a cold water rinse only kind of guy.
@Paul76 ...does this razor look familiar? Yup, it's the W&B you gave me.
This puppy really shaves well and looks great to boot! Thanks again.
What a plethora of lather the Rubberset created. I think that MWF is the only soap I have ever used,
which does not like to sit on a shelf---unused. We've all seen the cracked, dried up pucks. Ugly and unforgiving.
When you use it daily, as I have since October 1, you really reap the benefits of the lanolin and the lather
almost creates itself. Almost.
The tobacco/vanilla infusion has long past into oblivion. What's left is the clean, natural, soap-scent,
one might expect from a bar of Ivory soap. Not nearly as plain, but "complex" is never a term
that will be used to describe MWF's scent.
Three passes and the results were mos def© DFS+++
Hard to see the level of the SMST, but I have really been making a dent in it as well.
My best guess is that I will finish the soap and the month of November about the same time.​

 

Terrific shave, Clint! It is the first time that I have seen OS shave cream in a tube.

 

Wonderful picture, Clint!

 

It is an A+ shave, Joseph! Also, the straight razor is a beauty!

 

Well, I'm awaiting a product from that same company. For this particular product, they DID provide a good preview, but.....we'll see about future purchases from them. One of my "new" companies I just joined says they treat their customers like we are family. Can't beat THAT, I say. And, yes, of course Stoylin is great for customer service.

 

As I suspected, when I switched out the Yaqi 4” handle for my 3.25” Bulldog, which I’m quite used to, I ended up with a 2 pass BBS of both face and head. Love that scalloped head coupled with the open comb. In addition, I finally found a scentless AS that my new wife of 4 yrs can tolerate. My first wife loved all my AS’s, but the new one is fragrance-sensitive and gets migraines. I feel smooth, clean and refreshed!

You're the second member in two days to say "You're welcome" before we get out the "Thank you". If this is a new trend in society and communication, my sister will be saying it left and right.

 

Nice shave, Clint. I hope your back continues to improve. Back pain can be excruciating.

It's cold here this morning also. It's 20 F now, but we're heading all the way to 37 F. I'm not ready for this.

 

Maybe I'll keep the weather here.

Jeff @jgreenepa inspired this nice shave. Jeff brought out a Yaqi DOC and the Fat and I could not resist. Awesome shave all the way around. The Yaqi DOC is the best $5.00 head on the market and it does not disappoint. The Mitchell’s Wool Fat was thick and slick this morning as usual.

Outside temperature was 25 degrees when I stepped out of the house this morning. Y'all take care and have a great day.

 

The parking lot fellas were scheduled to work today, but postponed it due to the cold. It will be warmer Friday-they'll be here then.

 

Joe, I went from C yesterday to A- today(the minus for the weepers).
