April 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

It's very serene.

 

and so it begins gents.James and I are on a 30 day gillette tech razor focus ,starting tomorrow ..should be fun....anyone else ?

 

Thanks, Joe! It’s truly awful when someone takes their own life! I’m actually having a great time! SWMBO is great to hang with! She just finished making masks for our family. We had a lovely Easter dinner yesterday. My stepson and his gf came over; we’ve all been sheltering in place! It was fun to spend time together. We went for a 3 mile walk after dinner. Gromit came along. It was fun. In addition, I took the TR6 out of storage on Saturday. She started right up. Went for a lovely back country ride with SWMBO on Sunday morning after church. I’m doing fine, shaving with Tom’s (@twhite) wonderful brass razor. Things are great. As a cancer survivor I live every day as if it’s my last. If the Covad19 thing takes me, it will be with no regrets!

 

It promises to be a techstraordinary event!

 

Thanks, Jim!

 

..yes sir..

 

Thanks, Jake! It was a great shave! Glad to have you as part of this great cast of characters!

 

Thanks, James! Hope all is well with you and yours. Understand your PM is out of the hospital! Take care and stay healthy!

 

Thanks, Gary, Good afternoon!

 

Yeah apparently so! I'll be keeping myself and my family at home unless it is unavoidable! I trust you'll be doing the same!

 

Gary, I’ll look forward to following your shaves. I know you have a large Gillette collection. Do you have 30 Techs, or will you be highlighting special examples over the course of several days?

 

Most definitely, with the exception of lots of TR6 drives. Just took it out of storage this past Saturday.

 

i have at least 20,mostly flat bottom techs.with a few variants..mostly handle changes..i should manage..

 

we should be seeing pics soon..

 

Nice selection! My favorites are: Voskhod, Astra, Bolzano, Feather, GSB, Polsilver and Personna.

 

It’s raining today,Gary (@brit), so here’s a few shots in the garage. I don’t even bother putting the top up anymore! After five months on a trickle charge with stabilizer in the tank, she started right up. I’ll be taking it out for a ride on probably every nice day! I was going to install electronic ignition, but I’ve decided to postpone. She’s running like a top!

 

Nice shave, Jake, despite the nicks! Joe (@Trigger) I’m sure will like your approach. Hers pretty much evolved into one of the Straight/shavette gurus around here! Enjoy your shaves.

 

I understand. I don't have a fear about the virus as well. I went shopping today and ran into a stranger who turned out to be a fellow believer. It was a divine appointment because I was able to minister to him. He told me that he was visiting his dad who has lung cancer. I openly prayed with him right there in the aisle. At the end, we shook bare hands and we went on our way. Yes, I know that was not the coolest thing to do, but I sensed he needed a touch. Of course, I went home to wash my hands.

 

What about the blades you use in your Shake Sharp?

 

Wonderful shave and report, Terry! I’m a big fan of the Feather Super in an AC Razor!
