May 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

It avoids lawsuits for razor companies, though...Great report as always, Joseph.

 

very cool,i a sure you will..

 

Very nice, Joe. Interesting comment on seasonal scents. I probably follow that a bit now- definitely more citrus stuff when the weather is nicer, etc. For several years, however, I used a soap puck (often a C&E 3x milled) and a cheap brush with a cart. Used the puck from beginning to end regardless of season or scent. Somehow I survived.

 

Very nice, Josh!
Be safe.

Thanks, Gary!

 

Thank you, Joe!

 

Wow, that set is in pristine condition, Jeff. Did you try that funky looking stropping tool with it, too?

 

Awesome combo,Gary. If that razor shaves anything like the North American Goodwills, you’ve got a great one there. Good morning, sir.

 

Thanks Jason! My philosophy is to use whatever you like regardless of the time of year. I have used Stirling Christmas Eve not too long ago and have used out-of-season soaps. I get the reasoning behind using a lightly scented summer soap because heavier winter scents may attract stinging insects. I basically don't like to see my soaps sitting for 5 months and not being used.

 

Very nice, Josh. Is that a T2 or a T3? If it’s a T2, I’d be curious as to your thoughts on it.

 

You’ve outdone yourself with that pic, Jim. Just amazing, and you managed to even make cheap sample containers look exotic.

 

Thank you very much, Jason! Wonderful compliment!

 

thank you Jason,good morning.this razor is quite mild. i have heard it shaves differently than the us/can models.hope to get one at some point to see for myself..

 

Great shave Joe. I know people here comment on Sandalwood being a cold season soap but it is a common fragrance in India year round.

Beautiful citrus shave Gary.

Fantastic photo Jim.

Looking good Josh.

 

i like to use darker wood scents or tobacco /leathery scents on colder days but mood chooses overall..

 

thank you Clint,good morning..

I had every intention of going for a motorcycle ride this morning but decided to sleep in instead. I didn't even get the shower and shave in before noon. Oh well. Everything worked well together to deliver a 3 pass near perfect shave. My lower right neck, aka my nemesis, foiled the perfect shave. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

 

awesome superspeed shave and pic Clint..sometimes i enjoy planning a cool day,just to sit back,relax and think about it ...enjoy your afternoon..

 

Thank you, Clint! Same to you!

 

Awesome summertime like shave.

 

Excellent report. Persistence will eventually get you where you want to be. Just keep keeping on.
