January 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Question...
Does anyone have a spot on their face or on their neck where the only way to get at it is to go ATG. As I have been going through this 30-day exercise, I am finding I have a couple of spots right on my jawline that I cannot get unless I go ATG. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I simply cannot stand to feel stubble areas on an otherwise smooth face. These areas are right behind my chin.

Thanks, Jim!

 

I counted yesterday, I have nine scents of Jeeves. (Cranberry Pomegranate, Cherry Blossom, Blood on Steel 2018, Fougere, Private Study, Mountain Rain, Apothecary, Black Tea, and and Cabal.) Six of them are in the 8 oz tubs, and I have a back up 8 oz of my favorite. His soap formula is flat out my favorite, and my skin likes it too. Unless he gets his business up and going again, I won't target any of his soaps to get them finished off. That means I probably will have Jeeves in my den for at least the next 10-12 years.

 

Just beautiful, Blair! Wow!

I'm off to buy some PAA stock.

 

Marvelous shave and post, Jeff! I agree that getting the right angle is important for a great shave!

 

Oh, they went up to 8 oz? That's interesting. I've been eyeing another company which has 8 oz. too. Like Jeeves, they focus on skin nourishment. As for now, I've been enjoying the Jeeves Bay Rum you sent me.

 

Beautiful setup, Jason! I'm using the same brush, and I'm lovin' it.

Sorry about the minor cuts. My guess is that nobody will notice them except you. It's still a bummer, though, when it happens. Could it possibly be due to blade loosening toward the end of the shave in the Floating Head?

 

My answer to prevent that problem is to look at the angle of the handle or the scales on a safety or straight, respectively. I never used a heavily mentholated soap before I tried Cryogen and used both a DE and a straight without any problems.

 

MITA is another Stoylin that to which I give a silly name-Meeter(which is the way Bostonians would pronounce it...they'd say "What do these letters that spell out Meeter stand for?)

 

Not bad for a guy that drives a Ram...a top-shelf shave and photo...near Toyota-like.

Have a fantastic day, Evan!

 

Yes. You're only choice is to go against the grain. On my neck, I use the Gillette Slide with my straights and the J-hook with my safeties.

 

What age group and subject matter do you teach, Tim?

I kid around a lot, but I have much respect for the teaching profession. Anyone that invests in kids is OK by me.

 

Actually, the Spanish verb mirer is pronounced meeta. It means is to see or to look.

 

I guess I walked in the back door on the Spanish verb. That is to say, I didn't know this until just now.

 

Thanks, Jim! Enjoy your day!

 

@Paul Turner once made the mistake of leaving the Clubman uncapped, and something grew on it too.

We had a small micro lab where I worked, it was fun to visit and see what was growing.

 

Actually, I mistyped, it is mirar in Sp. I gave the Fr spelling mirer which means amazed. That's what happens when you know both languages. Lol!

 

Very nice, Myles! Classic shave all the way!
