February 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Awesome setup Tommy! Wheres that shave cream made?

 

ER Streamline
Gem PTFE 2
Vulfix 404 Mixed
Williams Mug Soap
Superior 70

Used my dad's brush and mug soap on the 7th anniversary of his passing. Unfortunately the knot is falling apart and this will be the last use of the brush unless reknotted. Very nice 2 pass shave. Enjoy your day.

 

It's Russian cream and pretty good.

 

Great shave and report, John!

Nice memorial shave, Dale

 

Great shave report John. The Supply is one of my favorite razors as well.

 

SOTD February 4, 2020

Prep: Cold water and PAA Cube pre-shave soap
Blade: Personna
Razor: Schick B1 repeater
Brush: JR #377 badger
Soap: Stirling Gentleman
Post: Witch hazel, Speick aftershave

Another one pass this morning with some major clean-up on my neck. So maybe a 1.5 pass shave. Pretty good overall. Outstanding lather from Gentleman and the JR brush. I'll be using this Speick aftershave a few more times to finish off the bottle. It's almost gone.

I have a field trip today with some of my juniors. We're going to the middle school to spend the day with the band students there. Building relationships and recruiting. Believe it or not but 8th graders in our area are already filling out course selection sheets for their freshman year, so we're getting in front of them to encourage them to continue with band.

Enjoy your day!

 

Be sure to try out their new blades. I think they are still made by the same folks, but on Supply specifications. I like them.

 

fine shave and pic Perry,good morning..

 

Very nice Dale . I have my Dads old brush also and it was in terrible condition but I repaired it and made my own knot for it . Some things are too personal to part with.

 

Thank you Dale!

 

Good morning, Gary, and thank you!

 

February 4th
Razor: Razorock Wunderbar Slant
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum (3)
Brush: 30DC LE V2/Maggards SHD
Pre-shave: PAA The Cube
Soap: B&M Reserve Fern
PAA Galactic witch hazel
PAA unscented Star Jelly
AS: B&M Reserve Fern

Good morning

Terrific shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Light tickle from the alum.

B&M Reserve Fern and the 30DC meet up brush from the randomizer. Hot water from the kettle in my dipping bowl and brush scuttle. Built an excellent lather for pass one. Rested the brush in the HOT scuttle. Reserve does not like the heat. The lather on the brush had almost completely disappeared. I tried working it back up on my face, nothing doing, had to go back to the puck and start over. Same for pass three. Reserve works well enough with hot tap water in the scuttle, not so much with boiling water from the scuttle.

Have a great day!

 

Nice shave and a great way to prime the 8th graders to join band, Perry!

 

Thank you, Joe!

 

I love that scent Perry! Great shave and have a nice day!

 

Beautiful shot, Jim. Too bad the lather evaporated from the brush with the heat.

 

Awesome shave, Jim!

 

Wonderful picture, Perry! Have fun at the middle school.

 

Thank you, El Scratcho!

 

Thank you, Jim!
