June 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Fantastic photo Blair. I love the photos that catch the action making you feel a part of the scene.

 

Thanks, Gary!

 

Love the brush Mark. I hope you had a good day.

Lovely photo and shave.

Great shave lineup and photo. The pup is just so damn cute.

 

Thank you Andrew. My Chel has the consistency of a partially melted milkshake. You can see it move in the jar when tilted. Either way it works.

Thank you Joe.

Thank you Tim. I honestly picked this Mike's because I thought it would be the easiest to finish. The fact that I like it is a huge bonus.

 

have a fine evening gents..

 

Love the warm tones of the photo Jason. I hope work is going well for you. @Primotenore looks like you might have another conversion on finishing up soaps.

Another fantastic looking Gem razor Andrew.

Simply beautiful Gary. Love the outdoor setting.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Very cool looking Frankenrazor Jeff. Thanks for recommending the Chel Gel

”June 15--Just the Basics June
Shavette Shave #94

Gear

• Razor: Strong Leopard 77-a shavette
• Blade: Cloud 77-a (3)
• Brush: JOmega Boar
• Soap: Stirling Iced Pineapple (chilled with ice water)
• Menthol: Stirling Frost Drops
• AS: Aqua Velva Ice Blue (1 Frost Drop added)
• Balm: Stirling Glacial Unscented

The Shave
Decided to face lather today--Iced Pineapple is so much cooler when the soap is applied directly to the face. The JOmegan brush is a champion face latherer, and I got great, sweet, pineapple yogurty results.

Three passes (WTG, XTG, ATG) with some significant touching up got me near BBS this morning--one small weeper under my nose on the 1st pass, no irritation. I have to work pretty hard to get those results with this Shavette/blade combo. Shallow angle. Steep angle. The steel cuts just as much as it wants to and not a bit more no matter what I do. I’ve binned the blade and will start with a fresh one tomorrow. If I get the same results, I may try to go with a 4 pass shave rather than 3 pass with infinite touch ups

This Monday is about done--hope it went well

94 down, 6 to go!

 

fine shave and pic Tim..happy monday..

Beautiful photo Tim. 100 is getting very close now.

 

Roof is done . Worked on my truck today changing pinion seal and discovered bearings are done too. Sadly I will be retired the Green B@$!@rd and using it for parts for my brother's truck he gave me .

 

Congrats on face lathering Tim! Its kinda the way I started out and the easiest way for me to make lather . Only 6 more to go. Wooooo
