November 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Great shave and report Joseph. I am finding it hard to put the MWF down......good stuff!

 

Awesomeness Jeff. I find that the shorter handles work better for me as well.

 

You are doing extremely well Grasshopper!

 

Love the picture Gary. Awesome Canadian shave!

 

Thanks Clint, hope your day gets better and better.

 

Beautiful picture and shave Blair. Love the filter effect.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

It truly was, Jason! I like this razor head so much that I’m keeping it, and adding an Old Type and a Yuma (I have two) to the box when I ship it out to the next recipient this Saturday.
That Snake Bite, while odorless, packs a strong Menthol-cooling punch. I really like it. I think it’ll be particularly nice during the Spring and Summer.

Enjoy your shaves,

Jeff

 

Yeah, it must have something to do with muscle memory. All of my favorite razors have shorter handles. That’s one of the reasons why I’m not so wild about the black beauties. Handles are a bit too long for me.

Enjoy your shaves,

Jeff

 

I have not tried the Snake Bite AS but the Snake Bite soap is very nice!

 

I’m a confirmed MWF Soap guy, but I do like this AS. Reminds me of the Glacial soaps Stirling puts out in the Spring and Summer w/o the fragrance. I’d say that Snake Bite’s Menthol punch is stronger than the Stirling Glacial AS’s.

Enjoy your shaves,

Jeff

 

Thanks, Jason! Of course, i'm sticking with it for the whole month. Not a date night, but there will be one later this week.

 

Razor: Christopher Bradley Brass (C Plate)
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (5)
Brush: Karve Canadian Skate Maple 2 Band
Soap: LE Karve Semois Valley
Aftershave: Maol Grooming 'Marlogue Wood'
Bowl: Light Blue Opening 4.125" depth 2" Pottery by Heather

Heck of a shave today. Most of us know of the Karve Brass and how well they shaves. The Karve brush whipped up the LE Karve Semois Valley soap in know time. This soap has very slick lather, protective cushion and glide with a soothing post shave conditioning.
The Marlogue Wood aftershave is handmade with all-natural ingredients and scented with essential oils to provide you with the best post-shave feel possible. The scent is designed to pair with a variety of different accords and immerse you in nature. Our frosted version is equipped with a healthy helping of menthol for a nice refreshing sensation on the skin.
Marlogue Wood – Balsam Fir Needle, Cedarwood, Atlas Cedarwood, Ho Wood, Pine, Patchouli, Cypress, Vetiver, Myrrh, and Juniper Berry.
INGREDIENTS Regular Denatured Alcohol, Organic Witch Hazel, Vegetable Glycerin, Aloe Vera Juice, Jojoba Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Liquid Lanolin, Grapefruit Seed Oil, Essential Oil Blend.
I found I had to really shake a fair amount out of the bottle to easily apply it to my face probably because of the high alcohol contain. It was well worth the effort.
At first look I thought the bowl was a little to small, however, I was wrong. The soap, brush, and bowl are a great trio. The only thing I would say about the brush is that it knot felt more like a Finest than any 2 Band I have had. Well done Karve.

 

Great shave, Doug!

Great shave and picture, Doug!

 

I stand corrected! I remember seeing a box, but the spelling seemed to be wrong. I shall inform my Autocorrect.

 

Terrific picture, Doug! That is a pretty brush.

 

SOTD Nostalgic November 13th


Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Gillette Red Tip
Personna Super (2)
Stirling Boar brush (24mm, Frigate Class)
RazoRock XXX
Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB
Country Club Sweet Water AS

Very nice shave this morning. The Blue Ming enchanted my tin of XXX soap and left me with a bowl full of luscious later:


The lather painted on silky smooth and allowed the American made Personna stainless steel blade to glide effortlessly across my face. Three easy passes yielded an IBBS finish. A generous application of the Stirling Glacial Unscented balm thoroughly froze my face and a generous application of the Sweet Water AS left me smelling great! Have a great day my friends!

Hump day!
