March 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

My goodness, look at those petals. Just stunning, Clint. That Paladin never fails to impress in photos, either. I pulled the a Colonia out yesterday. I’d probably think higher of the scent if I didn’t have Felce and Cubebe.

 

Fantastic shave, Jim!
I am STILL waiting for my GC Jaws...

 

Great write up, Joseph. MAybe you can get the splash only from them if it is a fave. I get it if you want to cut bait with them, though...

 

You rocked a Trinity knot?! You, sir, have arrived.
Great shave and write up as well!

 

Thanks Gary! I appreciate the razor much more this time.

 

Very nice, Evan. Great comments on the Rocket as well. I have a ‘Crat jr and feel the same way.

 

Looks like a great shave, Gary!

 

Very nice, Joe. I like Injectors too, and find them a nice change up as well.

 

Comgrats on new razor, Gary!

 

Thank you, Jason! How long ago did you order it?

 

I’m usually good for about 7 with an Injector blade, Joe. +1 on @Norcalnewb ’s point about always leaving a blade in. Makes it way easier.

 

March Madness/Shavettes

March 16
Razor - Muhle R41
Blade -
Soap - Stirling Iced Coffee
Brush - 30DC LE by @jtspartan
Post - Alum

It's MENTHOL MONDAY!! Stirling Iced Coffee for the absolute lather win, along with the 30DC LE brush. Great combo for fantastic lather to make it all happen. Stayed with the Muhle and Sharp Star one more day. I'll be back to a shavette of some type tomorrow. Three passes and things were better. Only takes three or four tries to finally remember to let the razor do ALL the work in this case. NO pressure, just let the weight and blade do their job. BBS with no irritation and smooth all the way. That's a great shave!

Hope you're all hanging in there with the world right now. Lots to deal with but we're still here and still shaving and THAT my friends is a great way to relax and remind ourselves that the problems around us are temporary. Friendships, great razors, and quality steel - those things endure forever.

Have a super Tuesday!!!

Ok, I’ll play. In addition to what has been spotted already, there is a Florida Water on the far left hand side, and the bottle with a gold bulbed top was a Pierre Cardin something or other from the 80s...

 

It shipped Monday. Tomorrow will be 8 calendar days within country... Tracking says it is in transit.

 

Thanks Jason! I would never have thought to purchase one, but since I won it at the last raffle, I am quite surprised by the shave. Although it is my second time using this razor, it really did a nice job. It's kind of interesting that I almost have the same number of safeties as I do straights.

 

thank you Jim..

 

Well, the razor was empty when I received it so I had to experience the minor difficulty. Hey, I made it work and that's what counts!

 

thank you Joe,old razor,different handle..

 

No Invicta watches...I have a collector's couple (3) Seikos now... plus the Seiko 5 I gave my daughter.

I've since stopped checking Ebay so I stop finding items I can't pass up.

 

It still looks like a new addition to your den to me, but your collection is so big that I cannot keep track. I have 23 razors and have a hard time keeping track of them! Lol!

 

to be honest Joe,i have a hard time myself.
