March Madness/Shavettes March 30 Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette 195 - The Fatboy Blade - Soap - Stirling Iced Coffee Brush - 30DC LE Post - Alum It's MENTHOL MONDAY!! Stirling Iced Coffee for the soap and the 30DC LE brush from @jtspartan for the lather. The Tuxedo knot is excellent and has no difficulty at all producing an exceptional lather. Decided to change things up a bit and was inspired by Chris @Bama Samurai from a couple days ago when he pulled out his Fatboy. Threw a Sharp Star in that badboy and dialed it up to 9. Three passes and the baby is in the house with no blood, irritation or any other issue. The Fatboy (or 195 as it was originally called) is an absolutely top notch Gillette. While some of the prices on these border on insanity, the results and build of the razor are definitely top tier. Excellent shave as we approach April which, of course, will feature Adjustables as a part of the theme. More on that when it launches!! Look for it most likely tomorrow. Until then - have a great night and an even better last day of March tomorrow!
The CF is a quality cream, no doubt. I love the look of that Ball watch, Keith. Such a classic. Awesome.
Fantastic shave and report, Neal! Next month is adjustables? Confound it! Jim @Norcalnewb PIF'd me a Slim that I've only used once (I've been dying to take it out for a real run), but I'm running for 100 shavette shaves. Oh the sacrifices one makes for Jedi status
Beautiful photo! Lovely razor! Beautiful razor and watch! Great shave, Neil! ... You gotta believe meeeeeee!
March 31, 2020 Tatara Nodachi Gillette 7 O’clock Yellow Heritage Shaving C-MON SV Cubebe Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Tuesday everyone. The big C-MON brush loaded and lathered the SV Cubebe with ease. Three passes and touch ups ended in a drama free BBS shave. I am off to my office today to tie up a few loose ends. I think we will work remotely for the next couple of weeks. I sill still need to go to one client office twice a week. Luckily they are running a skeleton crew so social distancing is not an issue. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday. Take care and be safe. March 2020 Recap I have used several different razors this month without a goal or plan. I did pull the Karve out and rediscover just how much I like using the razor. As usual the best part of the month was following the posts and adventures here on the 30DC. It has been nice to follow along as several are beginning to master using a shavette. The friendship and fellowship exhibited daily on this thread is its best legacy. I look forward to participating next month.
Very cool combination of shaving gear Myles! Nice. Chiseled Face GTB. Had to go read about CF, getting a lot of love lately. That inner voice keeps saying....you’ve got enough software, you’ve got enough software..... Very nice image and shave Gary! Lots of greatness in that image and setup Keith! Love the watch and cuff links.
