August 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Glad you didn’t have any damage, and only some cleanup was required - and that you have power back. Great shave with the new Puma, Joe. The brush is showing signs of improvement.

Another interesting Bay Rum is from C.O. Bigelow. Really great scent. It's currently out of stock, but worth adding your email to the waiting list.

The balm is available and it's excellent as well.

That's good news, Joe.

 

I had to PIF it. It was pretty yuck.

 

Thank you Bruce. Going for a repeat performance for all components of this shave tomorrow.

 

Thanks, Evan. I wouldn't classify it as just tobacco.
From their website:
"It is a warm tobacco based scent blended with toasted caramel, black pepper, moist dirt, and finished with a touch of leather, moss, mandarin, honey and rose."

 

i have a cologne that is straight pipe tobacco.and trust me it is just that. its called Demeter fragrance library.pipe tobacco it is with the sour note included..

 

Thanks Bruce! This was just my first run with the soap, so I'm going to give it several more tries to see if I can make a decent lather from it. When I first used both Williams and MWF, I had a difficult time lathering. But I succeeded with both of those eventually.

 

Thank you!

 

Thank you

 

hmmm... looks like @timabababaluka and @9nein9 dropped off on July 14th and @jtspartan on July 20th. I hope they're all having fun somewhere.

 

all are working hard or on holiday....as per last report..

 

Sounds like a good shave Joe!

 

Any positive thoughts on Ogallala Bay Rum?

 

I am alive and kicking, Evan. Went on vacation and then ended up getting called back from it for work due to some govt COVID policy changes. All is fine. I will be back soon and regularly, no need to worry about me.

 

hello Jason..

 

Purdy!

I’m a fan of Ogallala Bay Rum. Nice aroma, slight clove addition. Lasts a long day for me as well. Soap lathers very easily, great volume and slick. Skin feel average. Usually found at Duluth Trading, if you have one near to take a whiff.

PAA’s Atomic Age Bay Rum....now that’s serious no frills, barrel aged piratey goodness in a bottle.

 

Thanks, Blair! They just built a new Duluth Trading near me last year. I may drop by to see.

 

I'm a wee bit late, but a very Happy Anniversary to the lucky couple!

Many more.

 

Fantastic Joe!
