December 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thank you, Danny! I just love shaving with the Dovo shavette! I understand that Dovo isn't making the long 1/2 blades for the black insert. Now, your option is the red or white insert for the reg 1/2 DE blade or green insert and Personna headshaper blade.

 

Thank you, Keith! I know that I sound like a broken record, but the Dovo Shavette introduced me to open blade shaving. I didn't know any better, but I was doing a headshave without mirrors at shavette shave #16 and figured I probably could transition to straights. I believe developing the soft touch with the Dovo helped me to quickly the corner using a traditional straight razor. I believe that you would do well with a Dovo shavette because your a very experienced straight razor shaver. It would be a good travel razor.

 

Thank you, Blair!

 

I'll bet you forgot to comment on the shave, and had to edit it in!!!

 

thank you Blair..

 

Thanks Keith! Nothing says Christmas like dinosaurs!

Decadent December!!!

December 26

Razor - Gillette New SC Deluxe (Matthew the Haunted Razor and Ghost of Christmas Past/Present/Future)
Blade - (2)
Soap - Tabac
Brush - The Moreau Hybrid
Post - Alum

Happy Boxing Day! Yeah, ok, I know it's called that, really don't know why even though I spent time up North. But, if it's an extra holiday, why not, eh? It's also Tabac Thursday so the Tabac came out along with the I*V10 Hybrid brush. Great and easy lather to set up the slick runway for the shave. The New SC Deluxe with the Voskie was smooth as silk again and provided no issues on a three pass relaxing time of shaving. Alum was quiet and all's well in Cartel land. Hope you had a great day and the weekend approaches!

Dec 27 shave: Brian Brown 6/8 full hollow. The Tom White B400 did it's job, Tabac did it's job and so did the Brian Brown. An excellent shave and off to work.

 

cool shave Neal..boxing day was originally the day off for the servants of the wealthy and the day they would get a christmas box to celebrate with their families.."boxing day" -wikipedia..

 

Terrific Tabac shave Keith!

 

fine shave and pic..

 

December 27th
Razor: Blackland Dart
Blade: Voskhod (2)
Brush: Yaqi Mocha Express
Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
Soap: GD Sandalwood Fig Musk
PAA Galactic witch hazel
PAA Star Jelly unscented
AS: Fine Santal Absolut

Good morning!

Another great shave but yet another day of warmer than usual alum. My recent shaves with the Dart haven't been as smooth. I dropped it pretty hard on the tile floor awhile back and I'm wondering if I did some unseen damage. The baseplate doesn't seem to be tweaked at all. Set on a flat surface it won't rock like I think it would if damaged. Maybe it's just me.

Have a great day!

 

I'm back in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for my daughter's winter school holiday, just one shave setup for the three weeks, the Razorock Eco with Suneko blades. The Eco can get tuggy going ATG on my head which keeps it from five star status. But it's an otherwise excellent performer.

My old house has other visitors so I'm in an apartment nearby, right at the Russian Market. A ten meter stumble to the evening seafood fest.

Great looking shave and photo Jim. Love the colors.

 

Now I am officially hungry. Have a great visit with your daughter.

 

Thanks, Clint!

Up and moving pretty quickly for an old man. I think I am really going to like the new Omega EVO synthetic brush. First impressions are very positive. Three passes with touch ups and buffing caught the baby. I avoided opening up the cut from yesterday. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

 

Gorgeous picture, Clint!

I'm glad you like the EVO and the grey handle looks great!

 

Thank you Jim. It really matches a shave soap container Swati gave me for Christmas. That pairing is up for tomorrow.
