April 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Interesting looking razor and hope it works well for you Jeff! Back in the days of the Emperor Caligula, I daresay you wouldn't want a Roman shave because you only get one "treatment".

 

Thank you, Joe!

I think you hit the nail on the head, there. Last summer the few times I used that shavette were dicey at best, and those exposed corners kept reminding me they were exposed. This time around, it was like shaving with a completely different, more agreeable, razor. That muscle memory makes a world of difference

 

You should have played second base in little league. Lol!

 

Thank you Joe.

 

You will if you drop your pants! Lol!

 

Thank you Tim. My wife traveled a lot last year and brought me back some cool shave stuff.

 

It has been a long few weeks. Busy busy busy. I've been shaving every day and it has been a great stress reliever!

Today I used my merkur futur
Personna platinum
Proraso anti-irritation
Trumper skin food

I broke the stop on my futur a few years ago and so never really know what stop it's actually on. However, it was on 1.

Hey! One of the ordered Broman's finally arrived! Been kind of curious to see what folks thought about them. Congratulations!

 

Hey Simon! Great shave!

 

Very nice, Simon!

 

There? Check!
Bells on? Check!

 

Photos to follow?

 

I'm excited for spring myself.

I'm not really concerned about being laughed at by the women at work, but in the software/IT industry women tend to be younger on average, especially in Utah. Generally they're closer to my daughter's age. With scent being so intrusive, especially to women, I try not to offend. So, if my daughter dry heaves when I ask her opinion, I don't wear that scent to work.

 

So, the placement of this reply relative to Gary's more recent pictures is perfect. Beautiful photos indeed!

 

Well, you know what they say about the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut--about 2 weeks. Glad to see you won't be waiting

 

Awesome report, Simon! Have you thought about getting a Q-shave? It's a knock-off of the Futur that can be found between $8-$16

 

I did look at it, but I do not to buy knock-offs as it hurts good businesses . I certainly believe this is a contributing factor to the demise of merkur.

 

Nice shave Simon! I'm still somewhat new but I don't think we see a lot of Futur users in 30DC. Very nice!

Being extremely busy while we all work from home seems to be a common tale. I think people denied entertainment but in desperate need of a distraction are working way too hard.

 

It will be an interesting shave tomorrow morning. The razor comes with Permasharp blades, which don’t work well for me. So I snapped a Polsilver in half. I just hope the razor can hold the blade rigidly in place. Unlike many on this forum, Tim, I never shaved with cartridge razors. So this pivoting razor stuff is all new to me. I destroyed myself with both the Leaf and the OneBlade. I ended up with a very serious scalp cut from the Leaf, and a bad face nick from the OneBlade. Sold them both! This is my last hurrah!

 

After striking out on the OneBlade, and almost scalping myself with the Leaf, Joe, tomorrow should prove interesting. I’ve been watching some shave videos with the Broman, and am hoping for a different result tomorrow.
