April 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

How true, my friend, how true...

 

Human nature Jim. We all do it . Will sure be nice when everything is back to normal and we are collectively complaining about having to work .

Thanks guys . Got a doctors appointment Thursday....over the phone, but he knows of my sinus infection troubles. Using a seawater flush and it feels good but my eye is beginning to swell again.

 

Lovely Clint! Starting to see the grass here . Pollen season is upon us .

Very nice Dan!!

 

The V3 looks great, Jeff! Congrats, and it sounds like a nice shaver. Someday, mine will get here...

 

I take it you disposed the disposable Paul? Great shave !

I was lucky to inherit this condition. My grandfather suffered throughout his whole life with it and migraines . It gives a man a high threshold for pain though.

Proraso green is good for sinusitis. Been rubbing a dab under my nose for relief at night.

Nice setup Angelo!

 

Awesome pic Gary! I have the same Omega boar and after a little over 2 years it gets better with every shave.

Very nice Joe ! I miss straight shaving....then again I'm missing shaving. I feel scruffy last few days .

Great recap Blair !

Seems someone here has been swapping brush handles . Nice shave Evan!

My Omega has a small diameter but has spread out nicely with use . Great setup Jason!

 

We have a couple national Drug store chains that do stock some decent stuff. In most towns of a certain size in Canada there are Shoppers Drug Marts. They have quite a bit of Proraso product and a few Omega brushes. They also have a large fragrance section, and that is where I picked up my Eau Sauvage AS. Another national chain is London Drugs, and is much more than a drug store. They are only in larger centres and do stock products such as Crabtree and Evelyn.
Both stores don't really get into the razor biz, only stocking a cheap DE and overpriced Wilkinson Sword blades, as I recall.

 

Thank you, Jeff!
We have a few front line supervisors here that are overwhelmed. From today's radio chatter it sounds they are as frustrated as we are.

 

So long Bill!! Let the fresh air at your skin. I have to do that also or it gets dry.

Thanks Blair !

 

Thanks Jason! Hope it goes away soon.

Nice setup Jeff!!

 

Yeah, it sucks you can't shave because you are in pain Patrick.

 

Thanks, Patrick! Sorry to hear of your sinus infection. I know how painful they can be! I hope you feel better soon!

 

I like when Shoppers put the Proraso tins on sale for $12 . I have 4 now .

Should be fun plowing through the growth when I do shave next . Hopefully the Luxor is up to the task.

Thanks Jeff! Not much fun are they?

 

Here's a product comparison from https://www.bigelowchemists.com/

Ingredients lists look identical.

I should bad mouth Canada Post more often- halfway through my usual sarcastic pokes, they delivered my V3 Open Comb a few minutes ago.
A very unique looking shaver, can't wait until tomorrow morning!

 

Just beautiful, Jason! Can't wait to see how it performs.

 

Very cool! Congrats!
