December 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Congrats on a fantastic score Danny.

 

Wonderful shave, Andrew!

 

Thanks Gary.....what did you say.....I cannot hear you!



Yaqi had a great sale on the 11th of November, $12.30 for a purdy two band badger. I could not resist.

 

Thanks Jim....my son claimed the blue brush but I'll still get to use it.

 

Thanks Clint. First Yaqi brush purchase and I can say that they are some impressive brushes.

 

Thanks Jason. I expected the brush to be softer and floppier based on dry brushing my palm. But it wasn’t. Definitely will work this into my rotation.

Nice pickups, Danny!

 

I’ve got my travel set up going tomorrow. The med prep razors are better than a cart, buy a far cry from a nice brass razor.

 

Nice!

 

Thanks Neal. Very pleasantly surprised that I liked how the knot felt in use.

Great stuff there Danny! Welcome back from the North. Can’t wait for the images and reports!

 

ok sir.fair enough..but you will still get a fine bbs with your technique ....

 

Well, I have 13 straights, 1 shavette, and 7 DE, 5 brushes and I think I have 17 soaps, 17 aftershaves, tube of shea butter, tube of Cremo, 1 Nivea ASB, styptic pen and witchhazel, approx 100 Rockwell blades, 1.5 Polsilver blades and 5 Personna Headshaper blades, so my den is not that large, also. Frankly, I am satisfied with what I have and unless I see a good deal on a Filly 14 Novodur or I get a financial windfall to buy a new custom straight, I am done with the hardware. Now, I may buy a brush or two, but that's it. The only thing that I am looking to get and really don't need is the Cryogen shave soap and that will be next year. Also, I probably pickup another order around my birthday because I will have over 500 pts in their rewards system so I get a $25 discount. 2020 is going to be a major no buy for me.

 

Thanks Joe

 

Thanks Blair. Great to back home and in my den. We did have a great time and the "new" family is wonderfull. It seems that they are a part of my wife’s life that she had been missing and needing. Take care!

 

Thank you for your kind words, my dear friend.

 

Thought about running through the room naked but that is Fuzzy’s job. Enjoying my time in Macau and tomorrow it is off to Phuket. This trip is my Karve F plate OC razor. Every time I am in Macau I go to Alorcha restaurant, outstanding Portuguese food. If you make it Macau this is a must stop but make reservations in advance. No time to catch up with the thread it is time to sit by the pool and smoke a cigar.
