February 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Looks like you found another good blade, Patrick!
You’ve inspired me to build some razor stands sometime.

 

tomorrow for us here..snow..

 

muscle memory kicking in..

 

The razor sounds like a winner. Congrats on the deal, Andrew. A real stunner, too.

 

very cool.i am on a honeymoon with my blue box platinums at present..like spoilers but affordable..

 

Thanks!

 

Thank you, Gentlemen. Apologies for the slow response on some of these.

 

Thanks, Gary!

 

Yes and the wisdom to know to stop the shave and call it quits due to the time factor.

 

Thanks Jason! That razor stand was a trial and error piece my girlfriend's father sent me . I was intending on making a brush handle but things went south. I binned it then decided to try to make something out of it since I feel bad about wasting wood.
The blades were a great deal as I did a best offer on them and got 200 cheap. Was well worth it if they all shave like that 1st one did.

 

absolutely...

 

Great and informative write up. Thanks.
Wonderful family of razors.
Happy Birthday wishes to you and yours!

 

@jgreenepa ...Happy Birthday!!!!!!

 

Thanks, Bill! Much appreciated!

 

OK, once again hopelessly behind. Here is my catch up post.

Monday: The next candidate from the test again bin is Noble Otter. I think it just went in the bin because it was summer, I remember it was a good performer, just a notch below top tier. This shave confirmed my recollection, good performance just a shade below my top tier soaps. This is the second shave with the Enoch, this time I tried to ride the safety bar more and the shave improved. It does have as wide a range of angles for the blade as a Cobra and not as aggressive as the Cobra either. I am on the fence on this razor, I think I still prefer my Cobra Classic, but when in a hurry and want to make sure my rushing does not draw blood it is a good choice.



Tuesday: I think I will call February a month of redemption. I am using products that were placed in the not wonderful category but waiting for another chance. Today's redemption opportunity is for this Wade and Butcher, for some reason I get the edge smooth and sharp..... but not as sharp as I like it. It was popping arm hair after it saw some laps on the pasted strop so I was hoping for the best. Unfortunately once again smooth but not super sharp, sharp enough to get a good shave but that is it, just good. I think this will be hitting the BST soon.

 

In 20 minutes I’ll be 73! Unbelievable the way time seems to move faster and faster. I have a pregnant granddaughter due in August! Can’t believe it!

 

Thanks! I showed it to you a few months ago! I think that’s the case.

 

fine shaves and pics Keith..

 

please refresh my memory sir...if its the same set as mine their is no difference.some folks think the rocket name should be used only on the early ones.i try to stay neutral.. here is my set..called a rocket..

 

I applaud you on your commitment Keith! I am not as patient. Awesome reports!
