July 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Ouch! But at least you smell great.

 

Wow ! Very nice Mark!

Awesome Tim!!! I can also attest to the generosity on here. Once received 3 1/2 lbs of razors in the mail. There have been countless other gifts arrived when I would sometimes mention how I'd like to " try that out ".

Wonderful Keith!!

Great kit and incredible photo, Jim. How do you achieve such incredible black/white contrast without a light box?

 

Gorgeous kit, Keith! You have an incredible collection of beautiful straight razors! Your posts are inspiring for us straight shaving newbies.

 

Thank you, Jeff!
I can't take any credit for my pictures. My cellphone does all the work.

Another great looking brush, Jim! Are you making a dent in that soap yet?

 

Cool shape on the brush handle!

Fabulous summertime shave.

 

A slightly delayed reply.....
You'll certainly be glad to have it done, and get the issues resolved. Your checking account might not care for it though.
I don't think you ever own a home. I think the home owns you. There is always, always a project of some sort that needs done.

 

Thank you, Gary.
I hope you are doing well, and there haven't been any more meltdowns.

 

JustOneJuly Shave #14

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Razor Retro Shavette
Blade: Schick Proline P-30
Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts 26 mm Tuxedo
Lather: Razorock Stallion
Aftershave: Wholly Kaw King of Oud
Additional Care:
Barbero Alum Block
Stirling Tea Tree Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Up early this morning as I have a busy morning. Following a workout and vacuuming the pool, I must get ready to take my wife to the eye doctor for her second follow up following her surgery. Hopefully, everything is progressing nicely.

Once again, I had a wonderful three pass shave with the Proline blade with assistance for the glissade of the RR soap. The King of Oud splash is such a nice finish. I will eventually acquire the soap as well. I do like the Stallion, I am just curious about the Wholly Kaw rendition of the Oud scent.

It is going to be a hot one, at least for here on LI, so the pool is definitely going to get some use today baby.

Have a great day gentlemen.

 

Not to enable.....
Shane at Blackland has a 30-day "trial period". If you don't like the razor, return it for a full refund. Although, I'd be very surprised that you'd send a Vector back. They're a mild-feeling razor, yet they get the job done quickly and easily. Most SE blades, ACs, GEMs and injectors hold up much longer than DE blades. You should easily get at least a week from one, if not more.

 

Happy (belated) Birthday, David - and to your twin as well!

 

Thank you, Andrew!
If I'm making a dent in the soap it really isn't showing yet. I'll keep plugging away at it.

Wonderful shave, Joe!
Wishing the best for your wife at the doctor.

No the checkbook is not going to be very happy at all. The basement is the driving issue but we really need to have better control of the drainage around the home so the lawn can be repaired and look nicer. I'll recoup a lot of the cost on the sale of the home years from now. I think I really need to consider a condo when we retire.
