March 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Thank you Andrew. I’m loading it extra heavy so the cream should be gone quickly.

It really is the key Tim. Take the time to master the technique and commit it to muscle memory. The results will come automatically.

Gorgeous Gillette, Gary! Way to start the week!

 

Beautiful set up, Jason. @MrEE did a wonderful job on the New Improved.

 

Very cool!
The last tracking update for the razor I ordered says it's still in Kiev. I have a feeling this one is going to be a long wait.

 

Cartel HQ, being located above the Mason-Dixon, is not concerned with Piggly Wiggly political operatives. We don't speak that slowly and we use words bigger than most Piggly Wiggly operatives can totally comprehend. Our wannabe Russians are also better shots than Piggly Wiggly's wannabe hillbillies, although their lack of sobriety at times may actually create issues. However, we can always suggest moonshine to the hillbillies who seem to absorb it like wannabe Russians absorb vodka. In that case, the conflict would undoubtedly devolve into a drunken fracas, where nothing worse than slurred insults and broken bottles would ensue. Hardly worth the effort.

Your deferral of using the TDD due to this morning's Maelstrom is appreciated and duly noted. When things settle down and return to normalcy, or what we consider normalcy around here, we can pursue the issue further. Please note that if there is still confusion or need of clarification, I have tasked Natalia with enforcement of this and any related issue. Just so you know.



Have a Cartel day!

 

SOTD March 2nd


Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
RazoRock Game Changer .68
Topaz Platinum (2)
30DCLE (26mm, Frigate Class)
SP Dottie lather bowl
Stirling Iced Pineapple soap and AS

Seeing all you guys break out the menthol least month really had me jonesing and what better way then to break out the happiest scent on the planet! My plan for March madness is baseplate madness in case in which I use razors which made multiple base plate options. Up first is the original Game Changer with the .68 gap safety bar. Super goooped the Iced Pineapple soap and added water until I had a super dense, shiny, slightly drippy, silky smooth lather. Painted on the lather and took a deep breath, taking in the scent of pure joy. I took the first stroke with the GC and knew right then the shave was going to be epic. The GC, in all of its iterations, is a super smooth shaver with just enough blade feel to let you know that it's working. As I shaved the menthol effect continued to build and by the end of the shave when I splashed on the ASi thought I was going to have frostbite in my face. Feeling my face after the shave confirmed DFS+ results with just as spot on my right jaw line keeping the baby at bay. Have a fantastic day my friends!

I hope the Dart ultimately works out for you, Jim--that's a gorgeous bit of kit! Also love the scent profile for B&M Reserve "Cool"

 

Wonderful MITA Menthol Monday shave, Terry! That razor looks amazing

 

Not much to report? Two passes and BBS is everything to report

Looks like you own that Lupo on every level, Jim. Awsome shave and photo, sir

 

Man, that Damaskeene is gorgeous, Clint! Glad it made another appearance. Sorry about the soap, though. As always... beautiful outdoor shot, sir.

 

Fantastic shave report and photo Andrew.

Thank you Tim. This Damaskeene has been replated. It was in pretty rough shape.

Looks fantastic, Danny. You'll get that Kronos dialed in

 

Veeeery nice, Danny! The Imperial Soap sounds like a winner--glad it's working out

 

Beautiful, Gary! It always surprises me how you get vintage razors to look like they're brand new--witchcraft and wizardry?

 

Terrific picture and report, Andrew! Cool idea for a focus!

Thanks, Tim!

 

Awesome. The General, the brush... just awesome!

 

Nice shave Jim! Pick the Dart up again next time try er again.

Very nice setup Terry!

 

Thanks, Patrick! The plan is to stick with the Dart at least through the week.
