April 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

I'm not sure what's going on, but my access to the site is very hit and miss. It takes ages to load, sometimes not at all. It takes forever to register likes and to allow replies. Really strange because it's the only site causing me these issues.

Anyway. Onto other matters...

I shaved again today (I've actually shaved every day since the day before mine and Gary's @brit Focus started).

I confess to not using the Tech... I just can't deal with the amount of work required to get a high class of shave.

I loaded up my trusty Fatip Grande with a Silver Star - a blade that I have never used before.

2.5 passes + jaw/chin touch ups, riding the cap and applying pressure resulted in a DFS+/BBS-

I really do love the Fatip. It's gloriously smooth and feels just as good ATG as it does WTG!

The Silver Star is made by Lord (Egypt) and performed wonderfully. It felt sharp and smooth. It will be interesting to see how long this blade will last. They cost £10 for 200... That's even cheaper than Derbys!

Stay safe and enjoy your shaves gentlemen!

 

Very nice, Gary!

 

Great post and shave, James!

 

fine shave James..good evening..

 

thank you James..

 

Very nice, James!
TSD has been slow for me as well.

 

each bottle in the collection in chronological historical order

 

The girls gave me a bottle for Christmas and it has a cork as well. Made such a mess, I bought a glass spray bottle and poured some in there. If I choose, I can use the bottle for SOTD pics but otherwise it stays put.

 

Great collection Myles.

 

Great shave report James.

 

Thanks Clint!

 

Sorry for the Shavette Fu, Gentlemen. Not a tonne of time today:

Very nice, as always Jim! Beautiful Grizzly Bay brush as well...it is Friday tomorrow, is it not?

Very cool looking Avon bottle, Angelo. I don't believe I've heard of that one, either.

Very nice shot, Clint. I'm convinced, based on your review and others, that the T3 is just a better, fuller sized brush that the T2. Can't imagine the T1...

Congrats on the new handle, Jeff. Very cool.

Awesome combo, Joe. You pulled that brush out before fave Friday?

Stunning shot, Blair. In your opinion, is Et tu closer to the Vintage version?

About the Williams?
Great pic today, Joseph.

The #44 is a stunner, Gary! Good afternoon, sir...

Love that Red Ring, Tom!

I did the same with Florida Water, fwiw.

 

Thank you, Gentlemen. I agree, Joe, but I'm worried that the pokey bits haven't lessened at all. It needs some serious tip splitting. Dense knot at least.

 

Thank you, Jason!
Today is my Friday. Working my usual four ten schedule. I could use the break. We're down to just two of us in the shop so they're keeping us busy. Winding down now for the run to the gate in about forty minutes.

 

Thank you Jason. The T3 has far surpassed my expectations.

 

very cool Myles..

 

thank you Jason..

 

Thank You!

 

Excellent shave, James. TSD is running really poorly and the administrators have been made aware of the situation.

 

Thanks Jason! Tomorrow is a no shave day! That's why I have Special Saturday when I don't shave on Favorite Friday.
