February 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

It was definitely a nice piece of enabling. I am getting the urge to purge my razor collection again, and this one would definitely make the short list.

 

Thanks, Jim!

 

I’m doing the same, and mine is a definite keeper!

 

Great shave, Perry! Enjoy your day!

 

Sorry for dropping two of these so close together--just didn't have the time yesterday.

Week 4 (Anything Goes)
Feb. 24 Episode 24: “I'm Tired of All This Mother-lovin' Blood on My Mother-lovin, face!”

Ever Ready 1912
A smoooooth operator...



Week 4, Day 2 Gear

• Blade: SS uncoated gem (2)
• Brush: Kong
• Soap: Stirling Sandpiper--just about run out of this!
• Enhancements: Stirling Frost Drops
• AS: Clubman original
• Balm: Stirling Glacial Unscented.

The Shave
Actually a pretty good shave. 2 passes and touch-ups. Before I knew what happened, though, I had touched up everything. Let's be honest... 3 passes (WTG, XTG, & ATG). On the touch-up under my nose I just barely cut myself--didn't even feel it--but as I was putting the finishing touches on my chin... blood. Hard to be disappointed, though. I haven't had a fully BBS shave in a while. It was kind of nice. The slightest indication of irritation on my upper lip. Not bad. Still, probably should have just backed off.

The Score

• Comfort: 0
• Closeness: 0

Tally



Starting to look a bit like a repeat of last week

 

Another nice shave, Tim!

 

Gorgeous shave, Clint! Glad to hear that your Lupo is out for delivery! Looking forward to hearing your assessment. Everyone else seems to like it! I love mine!

 

Thanks, Jeff! I agree; those Voskhods are decent performers

Thanks, Joe!

 

Great shave, Tim! Maybe you should try a PTFE coated blade!

 

Thanks, Jim!

 

Happy birthday, JoAnna!

 

Thanks again, Jim!

 

Ahhh success! Great shave Tim! Weepers happen !

 

It’s always nice to fall back into the routine, Myles! Sounds like your ready to put the nose to the grindstone! I’ll continue to look forward to your shave reports!

 

I'm sure it would probably help, but if I'm being 100% honest, any blood drawn from my 1912 is almost always due to over shaving an area. I can't fault the razor or the blade--just the lazy shaver

 

Thanks, Patrick! I'm a bit surprised by how much I've enjoyed the Classic TTO.

 

Sorry to hear about your friend! Sounds like you’re there for your buddy! No one could ask more!

 

Great shave, Terry! Sounds like you’re on the road to recovery! Hope you continue to improve every day!

 

Glad you’re enjoying the Lupo! Shave on my brother!

 

Great reports, Tim! Changing razors daily makes it tough to get consistently blood free shaves.
