January 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Yikes Tim! Be careful or you'll end up wear that mask for reasons other than Mexican wrestling.

 

Great shave report, Jason! That brush handle is beautiful! The Occam's is just one great razor. I wouldn't have kept and tried mine if you and Clint hadn't been shouting its praises. It is a really nice design and provides me with just the kind of head and face shave I like with the Aggressive plate. I don't think Luke of Classic Shaving ever expected the response he got to it. Enjoy your shaves!

 

Enjoyed your shave report, Joe! That looks like P&G Old Spice. Have your tried the Shulton or Indian versions? Enjoy your shaves.

 

Happy 45th to your son, Jeff.

 

Great kit, Mark! Love that brush!

 

Gary:
Great shave report. Did the razor come with rhodium plating, or did you have it plated? Just curious. Enjoy your shaves.

 

Thanks, Joseph! Much appreciated! He's a remarkable man! I've really enjoyed my part in his life! He's a great father, a hard worker, and a terrific son. He's the one who insisted that I seek cancer treatment after losing my first wife of 38 yrs. I wouldn't be here, if it weren't for him!

 

Great kit and shave report, Jim. I'm a big AV fan myself. Thankfully, the scent fades, so SWMBO can tolerate it. Enjoy your shaves.

 

Great shave, Perry! Lovely image! Enjoy your shaves.

 

Thanks, Jeff! I have the P&G version. I used the Shulton version when I was wet behind the ears. I still remember that scent. It had a clean, crisp scent. The modern P&G Old Spice pales in comparison.

 

Thanks Jeff! My scent descriptions are sometimes (like today) just a rehash of, 'yeah, I smell that' follow alongs of the artisan or manufacturer scent description. However, after a little over a year's worth of reading, smelling samples, acquiring and then smelling/wearing, I'm now hopefully getting some of the ingredients picked right on my own without looking first .

Does SWMBO'd work out of the house? If not.....I've wondered for you....what about a well timed extra shower rinse to enjoy a few hours of an AS/C you like?

 

Great shave report, and image, as usual, Jim. I shaved with my Christopher Bradley today. It was the perfect choice for my first headshave after my Rex fracas. It really did the job beautifully. Enjoy your shaves.

 

Lovely shave, Clint! Is that Supply razor an alloy or a coated SS model. Just curious. Enjoy your shaves.

 

She doesn't. So I generally try to shave after she leaves so I have the option of using some of the AS and Cologne I've accumulated over the years. Unfortunately, whenever I use a long-lasting cologne, Ultimo, my first wife's favorite, I need to shower before SWMBO returns home. Enjoy your shaves.

 

Thank you, Jim!

Thanks, Jeff. I had a set of Honor and ended up sending it to @Hembree to try. I liked it fairly well but there was a bubble-gum element in the scent that I couldn't quite pin down. I know that sounds strange but bubble-gum kept coming to mind. Oh well.

Thank you, Jeff!

 

Nice shave, Tim!

 

I ordered the Indian version in traditional and Lime. The traditional smells very similar if not identical to the Shulton version. I think I used Ebay.

 

Terrific shave, Jeff!

 

Great menthol shave report, Neal! Love that Jayaruh Rubberset homage brush! Beautiful wood!
