February 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

As one of the resident SE Gurus, do you find the 1924 a bit rougher than other Gem razors? Have a great day!

 

Wonderful shave and picture, Bill!

Thanks, Jeff!
Swapping razors for tomorrow. Continuing on with my attempt to clear all my razors of one use blades.

 

Great shave and images, Keith! Love the Ball WW. I used to own one - great RR engineering heritage! Looks good!

 

I always enjoy your reports and your unique perspectives on wet shaving tools and software! You knocked it out of the park this morning, my friend!

 

Fantastic looking set up, Keith! I'm sorry to hear that the near wedge isn't living up to expectations--I wonder what aspect of that style of razor is the issue?

Both the watch and the cufflinks are amazing

 

Very nice Bill. The Variant is such a cool razor.

 

Welcome Andrew!

 

Awesome looking set up, Chris! I'm glad to see Soap Commander's "Respect" show up in the thread. I've been scanning the Soap Commander site over the last couple weeks, and decided that when I polish off the tub of "Drive" that Perry (@PLAla ) graciously PIF'd my way, I'll be replacing it with "Respect." Probably won't happen anytime soon, though--Soap Commander hooks you up with a lot of soap

 

Excellent shave and thank God your wife came home just in time to alert you of the danger. May the rest of the day be uneventful.

 

True. I was surprised how quickly I straightened out my problems with the MMOC. Planned on dedicating 30 days to it; only took 15 before I was getting comfortable shaves with it. This month wasn't about me mastering anything; it was about deciding which razors I enjoy shaving with the most--with some great (and mediocre and a few downright bad) shaves, and with some sage advice from the 30DC folk, I think I'm on my way to making a decision.

 

Very nice classic shave, Evan!

 

Bill, wonderful choices for your A game shave!

 

It's amazing how frustrated a single word and a photo can make a person feel! Sneak some rest when you can, sir, and God bless.

 

Fantastic shave, Evan! Congrats on the SKX009. It looks killer on NATO.

I'm sure your Bride will come around eventually.

 

Beautiful brush handle, Evan!

 

Awesome shave report, Terry! That's actually pretty inspiring.

I don't necessarily cheap out on the blades, but I don't get top of the line either. I've yet to use a feather (although Evan @MrEE sent me some blades to try when he PIF'd me the Flare Tip, and a couple Feathers were among them). For kicks, I may throw a feather in the Parker Variant at the end of the month just to see what happens.

 

Wow! That Lupo fits right in with the JoHS and Maseto. Incredibly classy shave, Jim. I'm pleased that it's shaving so well for you

 

Thank you, Tim!
Kinda nice to start the day with a classy shave before going to work and putting on steel toe boots and permanently stained and faded nomex coveralls.

 

Fantastic reports guys! Paul , be careful with razors. Jason , be careful with banned scents . Jeff, be careful with watch purchases.

 

Great shave, Dale! 2 passes with slight touch-ups, BBS/DFS and no irritation are the results I'm shooting for (but usually falling short of). I'll get there
