January 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Yes Joe I have spots that require me to go ATG in order to be perfectly smooth.

Thanks, Clint! Enjoy your day!

 

Originally, they were 8 oz. He went down to 4 oz a few years ago, but those of us with the 8 oz jar are still trying to finish those off. Right now they are not replaceable, so I am enjoying using them.

 

Yes, Joe, I am a headshaver, and have a spot on the back of my neck that requires that!

 

Nice shave report, Myles! Really like the looks of that brush!

 

Ouch. No fun with today’s shave. Hopefully you still have a great day Jason! Nice setup and image!

Love the Blue Gary! Nice!

Great report and shave Joe!

 

Yeah, visual angle is good, but I run such a shallow angle (1 spine width or below for straights) that the feel and sound is how I adjust my angle, regardless of razor. Too much menthol makes that just go to visual and sound, which is a little harder to manage. I have a couple of mentholated soaps, and I won't be getting rid of them, I just tend to be more careful with them.

 

Super shave report, Evan! I really like face lathering! Seems to work really well with MWF.

 

Thank you, Blair!

 

thank you

 

I neglected to mention that my muscle memory also helps me to find and maintain my angles.

 

Glad you enjoyed your shave, Danny! Love that Snake Bite! Great stuff!

I was going to skip shaving today, but decided to do it at the last minute this morning. So I needed a quick shave. Did three passes, my normal N/S, then S/N, then from chin to ear. These passes are not ATG, WTG, or XTG, but are a combination of each. The last pass, from the edge of my mustache past my ears outward, with N/S on the neck and S/N on the chin is a great clean up pass to get most of the whiskers. I was in a bit of a hurry this morning, but the passes went well, even the bump under my chin which I scalped last shave. Got a solid DFS, and very little irritation. Hadn’t played with the edge, but was happy with it. I think there is a little more refinement I can squeeze out, so will work on that next shave. Happy Monday, all!

 

Awesome gear for Menthol Monday Evan!

Nice one Danny!

 

Cool quick shave Adam!

 

Excellent straight shave, Adam!

 

Great Barbasol shave, Jason, with the exception of the two cuts. That happened to me with my Karve, somehow in the course of my shave the handle loosened and I was left with two healthy slices on the left cheek. Enjoy your day!

 

Great review, Joe! I love the razor for head shaves! It really is hard to cut yourself! You’d need to work at it! Welcome to the GE Jones Shake Sharp Users club.

 

Great shave summary, Gary! Love that shade of blue on the brush!

 

Again, thanks for the razor, Jeff! It is a great headshaver. I will use it on my face from time to time when I need to go somewhere that's vital to my social life or as a change of pace from using my straights and my shavette.
