March 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Thank you Jim. I had an excess of idle time on my hands Saturday so I used a chemical antiquing solution sold at the wood working store. You have to soak the item until the desired color rinse with water and wipe of the excess. Then a final soak in a baking soda water solution to neutralize the solution. I am pleased with the razor turned out.

 

Wonderful write up and shave Joseph. Congrats on finishing the cream.

 

I am still hanging in there.

I was feeling a little shave lazy for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The ATT Calypso took care of business Monday morning and this morning. I brought out the Imperial soap and an Astra SP for both shaves.

Hope everyone is well.

Gillette Goodwill #175
Omega Pro/Resin
JOHS Blood on Steel Combo
Thayers

Day 15 of the NEW focus, 2nd with this Goodwill. 2nd use of this new brush as well as I want to break it in a bit.
Went with a full 3 pass shave. Everything worked as it should this morning, which given my love of the Jeeves lather and all things NEW, was a very good thing.
I was a lousy 30DCer yesterday. Popped in a few times but wasn't really able to find enough time to respond to all your great posts. I hope to have a little more time later in the morning.
Have a great day all.

 

Nice one, Jim!

March 24rd
Shavette

Razor: Feather Artist Club DX Pearl
Blade: Feather Super Professional (6)
Brush: My Aluminum Silvertip Badger
PS: Stirling Menthollated Preshave
SS & AS: Stirling Orange Chill

I am really liking this Shavette. Shave 6 with the blade seems to be the turning point. It was still sharp enough and still smooth. I'll try shave 7 with it tomorrow and see. I do always do 3 passes so I might not get as many full shaves. The shave it self was fear the alum close and yes, the Alum was WARM. I like that every once in a while as long as the irritation settles down within a few minutes. Which if feel like it has.

My skin is extra soft and smooth and citrusy as I set alone in my home office.

Thinking I may alternate with one of My Dovo's and one of my Shavettes each shave for the rest of the month to see how much easier the straight razors are. I have the advantage of not being around people right now so if I'm irritated I can hide pretty well.
