January 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Terrific shave, lineup, pic and post, Jim!

 

I've only seen it done in cartoons, but there's another Mayhem idea

 

Good looking shave, Dale!

Congrats on the new razor, Jeff!

 

It isn't farfetched because there is a company that sells small axes as straight razors. I would never use it.

 

Great picture, Jim!
That sounds like another scent I would enjoy.

 

Thanks Joe! I usually do 3 passes. Just got lazy today.

 

Just in case a wayward dragon comes knocking at the door.
He's prepared.....
Nice!

Wonderful shaves and posts, gentlemen!

 

Still an awesome shave Evan!

Use what you want . We aren't here to judge you . I use Clubman, AV , Axe, etc so I never will pass judgement.

You don't have to go nuts to participate in MAYhem. We have a few guys who have gotten themselves in trouble doing that. My kitchen probation ends in May of this year . I am a repeat offender and will probably be sentenced to using chopsticks after this year.

 

Thank you Perry.

 

Funny thing, Patrick. This C&E is really vintage. More than 40 years old. I am not ready to give up on it yet.

Thanks, Perry.

They're not so bad, Clint.

Thanks, Joe.

Weepers are part of the game. These were...shall we say openings in the skin.

Thank you, Jeff.

Thank you, Evan.

 

This week allowed completion of
The Shavette Showdown - Round 3

- Feather DX folder w/ Feather Pro Super
It was a good shave for this setup, but not good to hold onto the top slot. There are 2 coatings finishing these blades, a platinum alloy and a resin. Theory suggests that these final coatings are responsible for the fierce cutting abilities and lack of longevity. The edge does not look bad under my magnification. Since the Supers have The most blade exposure of all AC type blades, I'll probably strop it like a true straight before this is over.
- Focus R21 Evolution w/half a Feather DE blade. In the Feather vs Feather category, this blade now leads. My only dislike is the tendency to be toothy on shave 1.
- Focus R28 Slim Al - Gillette Silver Blue brings up the rear. Just a consistent shaver this is. The extreme low weight does require the operator to control the cutting force. I can see that a negative for some. I pick this up regularly for quick shaves, something I had no foresight of ever happening.

The Blue Ming took his spot as master of suds.

From the Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks, Tuscany was one of the flavors in the mix. The profile is: Tuscan Cypress fragrance oil, add in some Bergamot and Violet, and sprinkle with an array of spices. Marketed as a unisex scent The Stirling Clearance Sale notice indicated on hand stock would be the last of it. For me it is light, fresh and long lasting and does not threaten my man card. I did what any shave hobbyist lacking self control does, run out and buy up on the soap, aftershave, and EdT just before filling in another line on the 'No Buy' list on the refrigerator. Get it while you can.

The @Jayaruh JR367 got called up from the bullpen. A beautifully tall and majestic piece with a hybrid knot that is a wee bit scritchy. I always wonder what ball player was lucky enough to have had the Louisville Slugger folks fashion a bat with the stub timber from my brush.

Also seen were the Symmetrical Pottery bowl and the Supply Single Edge w/Schick Proline all brought to you by those Emperors of Enablement and Brothers of the Bling, @jluc, @Linuxguile, and @clint64

 

Sent you a PM with my address Gary in case things don't work out with that beauty. Hahaha

 

Very interesting and informative report Bill!

 

Nice shave and report, Bill!

 

Great shave recap. Now, I assume you are going to pick the winner without bias.

 

Beautiful shave and photo Bill. Glad I could help.

 

Nice try, Patrick, but I got dibs on it! Lol!

 

Terrific picture and report, Bill!
