July 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Awesome, Tim. It started out with bad Haiku, and the next thing I knew it was Slaughterhouse Five- I was waiting for the plot to develop and the punchline was already there.
A great start to the month!

 

Why shave like a Caesar when you can shave like a Greek god.

Cool, a mini 30DC meetup. Wish I could have been there.

 

Very nice, Joe. I don’t believe I have any Oud forward software. The real stuff has become extraordinarily pricy in EO form as well.

 

Thursday shave and the last of the 'new' roundup. Today's soap is from the 'Rise of the Clone Wars', I think Razorock started this with their Aqua di Parma dupe XXX. I used to own the original AdP soap that smelled fantastic, performed just OK and cost a ransom. XXX smells close, and the performance is a little better than original. I also used the XXX aftershave not shown.

The brush was made by Jason and filled with an Omega Pro knot. When I started on this journey the Omega Pro was kind of popular but as people started turning handles and as our Omega Pro become broken in the popularity rose too.

To go with this months theme is a 'Bedazzeled' Ed Price straight, and you thought the Bedazzeler only worked on jeans and teeshirts.

 

Wonderful shaves, gentlemen!

 

Thanks, Joe! I certainly got it today--now to make it repeatable.

 

Super cool Joe! Fan of Oud myself. Need to dig it out soon, thanks for the reminder....great report and shave!

Wow, what a thought stream Tim! Very nice details, love reading along. And....did you use 'Spidey Senses' in the 30DC? Friggin' hilarious!

 

Awesome, Jason!

And thank you

 

Fabulous and entertaining shave report. I need to coin a new term for your result! Freud would be proud of you, Tim! You, after mastering your lathering process and changing your shave stroke technique, achieved shaving 'Satori’! The result was an UBBS (Unconscious BBS)! Congratulations! Great Opener!

 

I forgot about the bedazzled Ed Price--awesome! And an awesome everything else as well; fantastic report, Keith

 

Thank you, Perry!

 

Awesome! Love a straight with great red scales (working on it for my collection ). Cool Ed Price straight, love the spine work and bedazzled accents.

 

Thank you, Blair--I'm never too many steps away from a Spiderman reference

 

Excellent shave lineup and post Joe. I like the idea of Just One Weekday shaves.

 

Thank you, Jeff! Shaving Satori and UBBS are now my 2 favorite terms--awesome!

 

Fabulous shave report Tim. Congrats on the progress

 

Wonderful shave, Joe, I unloaded 11 pucks through a FB shave market and only kept a few. King of Oud is one. I’m too much of a nasal barbarian to wax on about the various scent components, but I do know that I like it. I’ve just been enjoying my Nancy Boy cream so much that I haven’t given much thought to soaps I’ll shave with this month. Have you ever used a Feather Super in your shavette? I like Prolines, but just get a closer shave with the Super! Take care my friend! Happy shaves this month!

 

Very nice shave, Joe! Stallion was named after Joe "the Stallion" Esposito. He is a famous straight shave You Tuber. I don't care for his language so I don't subscribe to him.

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

Thank you Clint!

Thanks Jeff! Not a problem at all.

Sincerely appreciated Perry!

Thanks Gary!

Appreciate the kind words Andrew! I'm no fan of slippery things...the leather when wet gets grippier, or so it seems.

Thank you Jim!

Sincerely appreciated Jason! Back in early March...placed an order for way too much leather lace of differing sizes and colors. Came in Monday....more wraps soon

Thanks so much Joseph!

Thanks Tim, very kind of you! Jason does some awesome work. The BRM is a joy to use and photograph.

Thanks Joe! Enablers!?! Where??? I used to hang out entirely too much on an audiophile headphone website, some may know as head-fi.org. They have a saying....sorry about your wallet. After thinking back on it....not far off. Even with that, they exist as enabling amateurs. The professional enablers? Um.....TSDr's


And....if I missed anyone's comment on my shave post, or on theirs, my apologies! 21 pages on the first day (and still a few hours to go)!?! Is that some kind of record?
