January 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Nice shave, Doug! On Long Island, it is in the 60's in mid-January! I like it very much!

 

Rah!

 

Beautiful brush to match the razor, Jim! Now, you should use Fine Snake Bite Soap with your razor and brush because copperheads really bite!

 

Glad to hear that you got that soap figured out again, Joseph. The only soap I have that I notice a big difference from bowl to face is Fine.

Awesome pic, Jim! Brings up a philosophical question, though. Just because we can dupe, does that mean we should dupe...

Great greenery again, and such a unusual looking head on a very cool looking handle. The beehive looks great as well, Clint.

My wife is a huge Et Tu fan, so naturally so am I, Jim.
Is yours green? I can’t tell by your filter but it looks green. Mine is basically clear.

Sounds like the razor is a winner for you, Jeff. I like mine, too.

I’m the same way with Sharp Dressed Man. Love it, but I go red...

Very generous, Tim. A fave for sure, and someone will be very fortunate to win.

Just an awesome photo, Gary!

DAP! I’ve had it for years. Just not a huge Alum fan.

Awesome, Perry! Love the scent of L’Orange Noir. The Arkadia dupe isn’t bad either, but this one is my fave.

Congrats on the razor, Blair! Looks to be in great shape.

Congrats on the bowl, Bill. Very neat product.

Congrats on the brush, Jim! Quite a stunner.

You are finding some very cool places to take pics lately, Doug!

 

Dang, Terry... you're a brave man! Sure it turned out mild, but when first looking at that razor, I thought there is no way on earth to make that thing work.

I still am having trouble wrapping my head around how you get a blade to stay put in that contraption. Any chance of a pic with the blade installed?

I hope you get the aggressiveness dialed in to your satisfaction--that would, indeed, make a wonderfully unique addition to your rotation

 

Thank you, Gentlemen. Perry, it is supposed to get very cold here this week, I may take you up on that offer...put a lot of coffee on?

 

That's a nice shave and color coordinated pic, Jason!

 

Great report, Paul. Funny, I need to get bifocals, so I can't shave unless I have my glasses off

 

thank you Jason..

 

I guess you weren't bowled over, Bill! Have a bowlful of cherries to keep you in a festive mood!

 

Barbershop even higher on my radar, now

 

I wear progressive lenses to cover near, middle and far distances. I like shaving w/o my glasses!

 

Thanks, Joe!

Thank you, Jason!
To dupe or not to dupe? Too deep for me on a Sunday afternoon.

 

Sorry about the rough shave, Evan.

 

Great report, Joseph. I'm glad that face lathering got your C&E all straightened out.

Your report also helped explain why my lather sometimes over-fluffed when I used my Stirling collapsible bowl with it's rather large nubs at the bottom. I adjusted my technique accordingly, but didn't know why I had to (or why it worked).

 

One pass and you made a first down, Perry!

 

Great shave, Jim, and the photos are inspiring as always

 

Thanks, Tim!

 

Fantastic shave with a great razor, Blair!
