April 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Thanks, Clint!

 

I love the cufflinks, Keith!

I’d go with “quarantined his hooter”, but that’s just me... @Queen of Blades

 

Way to save the shave, Tim.

 

Thanks, fellows. I hope everyone is remaining safe.

 

I feel victimised

Monday again. Weekends seem entirely too short. The little Botiho knot is a joy to use face lathering being dense with soft tips and tons of backbone. The scent of A&E L'Orange Verte is very similar to the Fine L'Orange Noir but with a little more earthiness, just a little darker. A traditional 3 pass shave with touch ups caught the baby with ease. The General and Feather Pro combo is a nice blend of smoothness and efficiency. A splash of the matching aftershave and I am off to a client site to work with a skeleton crew. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

 

Great shave and terrific picture, Clint!

 

Great shave, Clint! That razor sure is a looker... Even more than it was before!

 

Another CK-6 convert Lovely setup with everything Keith! Awesome cufflinks and gorgeous watch.

Super nice shave Neal!

Waffle House closed all the restaurants I know of (or drive by) in the DFW area 3 weeks ago as well. When I brought it up to wifey, she remembered (how do they do that), one of the funniest times when we were traveling with the girls (12 years ago, when they were infants) to their grandparent's house in south Louisiana. She said we all gotta go back when they reopen....noted!

 

Nice CT Evan, and, um, yeah....reference & correlation noted.

 

A fabulous honey amber themed image anyway Jim! Love the looks of that razor and brush.

Sensational image Clint! Love the colors. Happy Monday!

 

Thank you Jim.

Thank you James. I’m very happy with the way the razor turned out.

Thank you Blair. Happy Monday.

I haven't used this razor in a long time. The last time I used it was just before I gave up on so-called mild razors being able to give a good, close shave.

As a result of my previous opinions of the razor, I went in with the objective of a comfortable 2.5 pass shave (skip the neck on pass 3) with a DFS verdict.

Well... I spent plenty of time building a slick, protective, cushiony lather. I concentrated on keeping the cutting angle consistent throughout the shave.

What did I end up with?

A comfortable DFS. No more. No less. It's definitely a better razor than I remember (despite the fact that it has always been exactly as good a razor as it currently is...)

Stay safe and enjoy your shaves gentlemen.

 

Great shave and picture, James!

 

Nice picture Jim! It's a shame that your shave was not your usual near BBS.

 

Beautiful Clint. Have a great week.

Thank you, Joe!
My shaves are consistently BBS face and chin. It's the hollows of my neck that hold me back from a true BBS. Easy to irritate if I go ATG. I gave it a shot this morning.
