June 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thanks, Keith! I'm very pleased that this renewed effort (last time I tried was almost 5 yrs ago) worked out. At this pace, I’ll probably achieve WTG and ATG straight skills by my 80th birthday!

 

June Focus

Jabonman~~Rubberset~~Mühle/Voskhod~~Murray & Lanman

277 posts behind. Not going to attempt to catch up.
Missed yesterday's shave, so with 48 hours growth, I reached for the 2011 Mühle R41.
The Rubberset 400/3 with its Omega 49 knot ripped the Mediterráneo a new one.​

Blade du jour was the twice-used Voskhod.
Still very sharp and when inserted in this razor, if the blade is going to tug, it'll mos def© tug.
No tug.
First WTG pass and I could have quit with a better than DFS shave, but no.
After I just claimed that I quit chasing the baby, I chased the baby.
And...baby is safely in its playpen.

Not a nick; not a cut; not a weeper; nada.
Just Primo's naturally, baby-soft and good-looking face staring back in the mirror.

Watery eyes from the M&L Florida water as I chronicle this glorious shave.​

 

Where do you source these gorgeous Gillettes, Gary? Bravo, my friend, I’ll look forward to you next shave post!

 

Awesome shave and report, Clint--I remember the razor; the matching brush is amazing! Great set

 

Lovely lather porn, my friend! It never gets much closer than an R41 shave, Maestro! But how about an R41 with a Feather blade? As always, I look forward to your entertaining posts! No better way to end a shave this time of year than with a Murray and Lanman splash!

Boy, my haircut couldn;t have come at a better time-5 straight days of 90+ degrees. She didn't "cut" my hair she SLICED it. Feels nice&sophisticated.

 

Fantastic pics, shave, and report, Joseph! When it's on your own terms, there's nothing wrong with the occasional chase, and it looks like this one turned out quite well

 

Hope your shave went well! Better you than me with the cart, but as I believe, “de gustibus non disputandum”. Enjoy your day!

 

June 19th
Razor: Gem Micromatic
Blade: CVS Carbon (2)
Brush: Heritage dubl duck gel boar
Pre-shave: PAA Rabid Banana Cube
Soap: PAA Tri-Color
PAA Galactic witch hazel
PAA Astra Planeta Star Jelly
AS: PAA Tri-Color

Good morning!

I haven't used the MMOC since SEptember. Seeing it pop up on the thread recently inspired me to knock the dust off of it. Three passes for near BBS, silent alum. Fantastic! Even though this was only the second use of the CVS carbon blade it was pretty tuggy but still got the job done.

PAA Tri-Color Doppelganger is a dupe of Irisch Moos. Now I've never smelled Irisch Moos so I couldn't tell you if this is a good representation of it but I can tell you I love it! I'm not good at describing scents but be forewarned, though not identical it reminds me a lot of The Veg.

Have a great day!

I think I would have skipped the tacos for that meal too. Hope alls well down your way!

 

Gorgeous photo and awesome shave! The Black Tropical sounds intriguing.

I've yet to try the superlather--one of these days

 

Wonderful shave, Joseph! You have tamed the R41. I really do need to do the same with my CG LvL3.

Terrific picture!
I'm sorry if I missed your first name, we use them a lot around here. I'm Jim.

What a perfect pair Clint! Congrats on the new brush.

Good choice with the Micromatic Jim. I love all of mine, excellent shavers.

 

Thank you, Patrick!

Wow, that is a gorgeous MMOC! Beautiful photo; awesome line up and report.

One of these days I'll break down and try the Veg--whether chosen or not, the process is kind of a coming-of-age type of thing

 

Great MMOC shave, Jim! I enjoyed one myself earlier this month! Glad it went well! Hope it portends the same for your workday!

 

Ice lather Primo. Hope they were tears of joy you were shedding!

Awesome shave Sir!

When I had hair......I used to enjoy those haircuts that left me feeling so good Paul.

 

Patrick, even in the cold of winter, I prefer my hair short. I don't know how I'd feel with NO hair.
