March 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Is it my imagination or does Marty sound like a young John Ritter?

 

It really produces well, Tim-thanks. Their cold one is on my list for this summer("Cool Mint"). Haven't yet decided though.

 

Thank you, Joe!

Thanks, Charlie! Happy Monday!

Thank you, Tim!

Glacial Lemony Orange has only been released twice if I have my facts correct. The second time was due to some persistent badgering over on the Stirling thread. Definitely worth grabbing should it make another appearance.

 

Can we get back to cufflinks?

 

I recall that badgering, but I wasn't one of the badgers.

 

Wonderful set up, shave, and report, Joseph--I was using the Walmart knock off version of Noxzema as a preshave for the last half year (or did till I bottomed out last month). I was pleasantly surprised at how well it prepped the whiskers, and a little eucalyptus kick never hurts anything

 

Y'know, I'll bet the best singer in the world couldn't sing the sounds of that NBC Peacock theme.

Back to the NEW focus after the brief interlude with the GameChanger. 14th day of the New focus and the first with this Goodwill. For those of you unfamiliar, these razors have the baseplates of either the NEW LC or an Old Type, with some modifications. The top caps are unique to Goodwills, though. This one, as you can see, is very similar to a New LC. It shaves very similarly to it as well, which is a very good thing. Such a smooth shaver.
Lots of talk about L'Orange Noir and Terre d'Hermes yesterday and I felt inspired to pull out my Terre d'Hermes dupes. Love, love, love this scent and I've pointed out many times that Fine soaps are top tier for me.
Also the first use of a new brush that I posted about a day or two ago. Gave the Omega a defunking lather yesterday afternoon and then used it this morning. It will need the typical Omega break in period, but I think the funk is mainly gone from it now.
Went with a 2 pass shave, as I had a 3 passer 22 hours ago and I'm working from home anyway. Excellent results for a 2 passer, although I did give myself 2 small weepers on the chin. One must always respect St. Petes steel. It was gone with the splash, though.
Have a great day all!

 

Nice shave despite the weeps Jason! Your brush turned out awesome!

 

Fantastic photo Jason. Love the warm tones L’Orange Noir is a wonderful scent.

gotta get a Kenny Rogers tribute shave in this week. rip

 

From one classy cuff-linked guy to another, that is one uptown shave. May today's dumpster fires be momentary and easily extinguished.

Think I will spend a month with the streamline. This was my first shave in a few days and it was pretty good. Two passes for a close comfortable shave.

Enjoy your day.

 

Beautiful picture, Clint! Everything looks like it is floating.

 

Nice shave, Paul.

 

Terrific picture and shave, Joseph! Glad the little line wasn't a bigger problem.

 

Lovely picture and brush, Jason!

 

Nice one Dale! Your Shick E-3 that I won on the last raffle has given me nice shaves. Thanks!

 

Coffee Break Time!

Daytime Samurai for two and a half minutes...

Thanks for watching.

Be well.

 

Thanks Jim! When someone asks that semantically null question, "How you doin'?" I usually answer, "'Bout half..." As it's not the usual route response ("Fine, and you?") they tend to pause and consider what I said. That gives me the moment should I choose to share that things could be better, but then again they could be worse. Hitting the balance point like a seesaw teeter totter means no one's getting their butt bounced on the ground. I'm OK with that.
How you doin'? As I recall y'all left Lumberton behind, Houston now?

Growing up in Chicago 'Burbs the mobster movies grew old quick. Don't know of any Italian heritage on my family tree, either. I may be one of the few people who have only seen The Godfather once, and none of the sequels. I do enjoy The Blues Brothers and follow up movies!
