April 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Excellent photo Jim. I knew you’d get the Hawk sorted out.

 

Happy wet shaving anniversary Dale.

 

Thank you, Clint!
The shaving angle with the Hawk V3 just wasn't intuitive for me. I kept drifting into too steep an angle. I feel good about it now.

 

Thank You, Tim!

Shave Soap & Aftershave

​

Happy Wednesday. I went back to the 30DC LE handle for the next couple of days. I am trying to break in the Zenith boar knot. A&E Bad Habits shave soap just flat works. It has all the excellent performance one expects from A&E with a scent to die for. The scent is inspired by Guerlian Habit Rouge. It opens with leather and citrus notes with a touch of powder over a woody base. The scent is complex and dare I say sophisticated. Three passes and touch ups ended in another automatic drama free BBS shave. A splash of the matching aftershave followed by a spritz of Habit Rouge and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

 

Beautiful picture, Clint!
Bad Habits sounds like a good one.

 

Thank you Jim. The girls had given me Habit Rouge as a gift. I was concerned the soap might have too much powder but it really doesn't to my nose. Bad Habits and Dirty Ginger have been my two favorite A&E scents thus far.

 

Very cute

2020 Shavette Focus Shave # 31

This morning, I had a super nice two-passer with no touch ups or irritation. Because it had been less than a day since my last shave, I performed both passes ATG on my neck. I can't get away with that every day, but I will occasionally sneak it in. I had one small weeper on my chin that disappeared during my post-shave routine. The normal trouble spots are pretty clean; however, these areas remain rich for opportunity.

I hope you all have a fantastic Wednesday.

 

Looking good, Charlie!
