April 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Ouch!
Other than the cut sounds like a wonderful shave!

 

thank you Jason..my neighbors must wonder who the weirdo is..maybe i will forget my pants next time..

 

Love the TR6...always wanted one when I was younger. Friend had a TR7, but I wasn't so much of a fan of the sloped look in the front.

Even though the timing is ridiculous, Tim, we can sure use with the snowpack in the mountains. We had so little precipitation in the Rockies around here this winter that any this spring that will lessen the potential forest fire impact this summer is needed, regardless of the lousy temperatures.

Thank you for the nice words, Gentlemen.

 

Thanks, Joe. What does he say?

 

Thanks, Tim.

 

+1 on the Rubberset/Grail.

 

I hear you. You have a free pass to rib me anytime. Yes, my NY acccent is on the table for jesting!

 

I would say that wasn't such a slick move, Myles. Whatever razor we choose, we must let the weight of the razor do the work. I hope the cut was not too deep and long. I would put some Neosporin or some type of aloe vera or Vitamin E to hasten the healing and prevent scarring. Take it easy my young friend.

 

Recently, he mentioned that you can get just as good a shave with bargain soaps, razor, etc than with the expensive soaps. He acknowledges that there are more ingredients in the high end soaps, but the difference in shave quality is quite small. He realizes that some shavers need to purchase high end products because of skin sensitivities, but by and large, it isn't necessary to do so. Finally, he admits that you may enjoy high end products more than let's say Col Conk's. In fact, his most recent video uses Col Conk's glycerin soap which is very inexpensive. Since I have been on this thread, I don't recall anyone using that soap to give an opinion. I have seen others use it and it seems to make a nice lather.

 

Thanks Clint!

I thought that would get your attention. Was hoping you didnt splash Brut in your eyes after watching it . And Yes , if you ever come to Canada you can wear your Hillary tshirt. I will wear my Justin Trudeau one with the sleeves cut off.

 

For the month of April I’m using an Avon aftershave for every shave this month. Here’s my second shave for Avon April.
Brush: Opus 8 ball 24mm synthetic
Razor: 60’s British Gillette Tech
Blade: Personna Red
Soap: Extro Cosmesi Bay Rum
Aftershave: Avon Bay Rum

 

Jeff, it has been several months since I used my Brass General. I have used it with a Feather Super and it delivers a wonderful shave. I need to pull it out and use it again soon.

Thank you Jeff.

 

Thanks Jim!

Awesome Terry!

Great pic Clint! Sorry about the weepers.

 

no pun intended. not a bad cut but definitely got me. Thanks Joe

 

Pressure drop!

I'll trade Tim's for tacos any day. Beers and BbQ also rate high on the list.

 

Love the warm tones in the photo Jason. Stay warm.

 

Thank you!

I can understand. I do feel for those outside of the UK who don't speak english.
