November 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Excellent photo, Jim! What is the scent of Malboge?

 

coffee Jeff..

 

Nice shave and setup, Jeff!

 

You certainly have some intimidating razors, Keith! Very nice.

 

Nice Sandpiper shave, Gary! What a great scent. I enjoyed catching whiffs of it most of the day yesterday. I spritzed on a little of the Stirling Sandpiper EdT (I have a sample bottle) and coupled with the aftershave I was smelling quite nice.

 

Excellent shaves, gents!

I'm going to be lazy and skip a day. But, i test lathered my new pine&menthol soap (more like a cream in a jar) and my first impressions were very good. Good, not quite eye-watering, amount of menthol, nice pine scent on the background and the lather was very slick. Can't wait till i can shave with it.

 

Thank you, Perry!

I'm not good at describing scents but I really like this one. Here's the PAA website description:

"Malbolge is teeming with woody and aromatic accords while a subtle undercurrent of sweetness flows alive underneath. A scent so enchanting it has to be up to something clever!
Blood Orange and Bergamot bleed like electricity into a beating heart note of Black Pepper and Benzoin Resin along with Licorice (Star Anise) and Burnt Sugar. All this set against a backdrop of base notes like Patchouli, Dark Musk & Tobacco.
This classic Autumn blend is perfect for men looking for just a touch of something different this Fall Season...though I bet you reach for it all year long!"

 

good morning Perry,thank you.it is a great scent ,and at present a true favorite.very classy and not loud..lasts a long time on me as well which is a feature i like on an edt.stays similar throughout its cycle, smooth..have a fine day sir....

 

Thank you, Daniel!

 

good morning Daniel..thank you,i like pine scents this time of year..the acqua di selva cologne is really nice if you like that kind of scent..

 

Beautiful photo Jim. What do you think of the Aluminum Timeless?

 

I am doing well today Jeff. Just took Mocha on her morning walk and the coffee is brewing.

 

Great shave, Gary!

 

glad the coffee is brewing Jim..

 

Nice set up, Jeff!

 

Good Sunday morning all.
See things are moving right along here.
This morning's shave was another switch from November blade trials, sorta.
I received the (new??) Gillette razor on Tuesday, sat it on the counter, then forgot I had it. During coffee I seen a cardboard box, hey my new razor! Well......
So this morning's shave was nice, smooth and ok clean. I used the blades that came with it and went to work. 2 passes and a clean up on the face. Slight resistance on the first pass, the second and clean up were fine. The gord was ok, no great tugging or pulling, more resistance than I like. 2 passes and a clean up, I'm not as close as I like, but it's an ok job.
The face is ok, the head about the same, a go to work in the fields kinda shave.
The razor is a good looking thing, a 3 piece with good fitting blade.
If you bought this for a present, you did great. Myself, it's a tad more efficient than a TTO super speed. Glad I got it, next time a Feather blade.
If you like a GEM MMOC, Monobilt, or something down that path, you'll probably go, ho hum. If like most, your the super speed kind, it will serve you well.

Used another re-doo brush, nice!
Everyone
Enjoy!
