July 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Marvelous Martinez shave Keith!. I feel you because I did the same thing a few shaves ago. In fact, someone else did the same thing this week. I hope it's not another epidemic. Lol!

 

Thank you Bruce!

Super shave and shot Gary. Have a great Sunday.

 

This one looks just amazing Pierpaolo.

 

Thanks, Joe!
The newer Super High Density knots have more of a tendency to hog lather for me. My SOC isn't as densely packed so I've never had an issue. I tend to load heavily with all my brushes so there's plenty of lather to share.

Thank you, Gary!
Good morning..

Thanks Gary! Have a wonderful day.

 

Great shave, Joe! Sound like you have mastered that Cryogen!

 

I would say that I can get just as close to a DE shave with my straights. The difference would be that you really can't go directly east and west with a vertical straight razor under the chin. Also, the DE razor is much smaller and you can turn it 360 degrees for greater maneuverability and access to more difficult spots. With that said, I still prefer straights because my shaves last longer, and I enjoy it more because I am continuing a tradition knowing that few men shave this way. Also, it is very relaxing. When I use a DE, the shave is over in a few minutes and quite frankly, it is a mindless exercise because I don't have to focus intently as I do with straight shaving. I am not going to go into the pros and cons of each shaving style because everyone here knows them. Suffice it to say that it is always your shave; do it your way!

 

Thanks Gary.....right, "Super Duper" is one from the top! How are things?

 

thank you Joe,yourself as well..

 

things are well Paul,and you? dealing with the heat ok?

 

mindless huh?

 

B B King would definitely approve Gary! The pic is gorgeous!

 

I struggle at times with the heat&humidity. Dehydration happens to me from time to time at this time, and I've been to the ER twice because of it(the second time, they admitted me to the hospital). Just drinking a lot of water, Gatorade, etc. I might cut back on my times at the gym as long as we keep having to wear masks there. Breathing that hot air while working out is tough.

 

Sound like an eventful shave, Bruce. How many passes?

 

Compared to straightshaving, you don't have to think of angles as much. I never said DE shavers are mindless. In fact, some of you are more intelligent and gifted than I am in things that I can only dream of doing.
