April 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

@Norcalnewb we should probably ease up on the slippery elm bark comments. It's a good thing Joseph ain't a mod, or we'd be goners. Hey, wait a minute...the pen is mightier than the sword. He might call us out in his fireside chat.

Nah...I think I'll risk the denunciation. Some things are just too good to pass up.

 

Well, thank goodness chocolate bark is still open for discussion.

 

Ultra aware! Hence kids don't get to play with cousins until the Missus gives the all clear... and she's quite the stickler on this.

Won't make my kids any less dangerous to anyone over the age of 21, though

 

Four days in, and we're on pace for more than 13,000 posts this month. With this furious group of students, it is moving fast...

 

April 4
Shavette Shave #33

Gear

• Razor: The Max Headroom Focus R21 shavette
• Blade: Bic Chrome (1)
• Brush: Stirling Finest Badger
• Soap: Stirling ICed Pineapple
• Menthol: Stirling Frost Drops--for AS only
• AS: Aqua Velva Ice Blue with a single Frost Drop added
• Balm: Stirling Glacial Unscented

The Shave...
I shaved at 11:00am, but was really too interested in reading what you all have been doing more than I’ve been interested in reporting my own misadventures. I’ll try something new and keep things short today (besides, this shave was pretty much on par for the week--nothing new to see here).

Applying the shave stick to my face and then lathering continues to give me less lather than I prefer. And the lather seems to dissipate more quickly. I think I might try applying less soap, but reloading in between each of the passes.

The shave was a bit rushed today, so not the usual attention to regulating pressure, but the upside is I didn’t really do any inadvertent chasing either. 2 Passes: WTG and ATG. Long story short--CCS with no irritation.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday! The Easter season is approaching and you are loved (and not just by me)--good things are bound to come as a result of these temporary trials and setbacks.

33 down, 67 to go!

 

Very nice, Gary--don't recall seeing that brush before (but I also didn't recall it was time to eat lunch until it was time for dinner )

 

Congrats Tim! You're one-third through the journey!

 

Beautiful set up and photo, Jason! Lovely bowl that is almost worthy of the brush that's in it

Glad to hear that all is well with your mom.

 

My wife and I call it "detox"--we'll keep a light on.

Roll Tide.

 

The news story only said so much.

It was a 19 year old gal. I'd suspect she had not learned how to properly kiss the kings ring yet and mouthed off at the tinbadge itching for martial law.

 

A fantastic photo and shave, Neal, and a somewhat surreal report. Looks like a ghost town

 

I had a great, but rather juvenile, response to that--hmmmm, all this increased time with the Missus must be rubbing off on me

 

Great report Neal! Streets look like that here also.

 

Good stuff Tim! I'm only on shave 19 so far but still hanging with ya Bud !

 

Thank you, Joe! It's been a fun third

 

Thanks, Patrick! Solidarity, brother

 

Good idea! You don't want to lose brownie points with the 30 DC members! Lol!

 

Just need a tumbleweed blowing by and the theme from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and the effect is complete!
