August 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

..i have noticed that married guys use tabac,arko,the veg and williams..some partners like cleaning supplies on their significant other....

 

Great shave Joe! Enjoy the East End!

 

You see how I just introduced myself(in part) with reference to The Veg.

 

thank you Joe,down to 40 ish now,unloaded over 30..there are some you won't see me use anymore..fine tuning the collection....more to go..

 

Hi Gary, and how are you? It was a great shave indeed, but as it turned out, the hot water I used shortened the feel of the Glacials. Back to somewhat cooler for now.

 

August 12th

Proraso PS & AS - Red (Sandalwood)
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements ASB - Star Jelly
Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic
Dr. Harris & Co. SC - Windsor
Osiris Razors 10/8 - burlwood scales

Love the Dr. Harris SC every time I use it, incredibly easy lathering, lots of hydration required for a cream. Very thick slick cushiony goodness, lots of residual face feel for buffing after a swipe. The Simpson Chubby 2 is fun to bowl and face lather, a bit stiffer to me compared to their Trafalgar line. That's why Clint calls it a 'soap destroyer'. Lots of face scrub backbone. The Osiris Razors straight went a round on Tony Miller's 3" Heirloom Razor 'Notavan' linen and leather strop immediately before using, nice and smooth shaving, but an utterly humongous blade. Fun to maneuver, zero blade flex. 2.5 passes for a very nice DFS+, found a missed a spot on on the right chin/jawline while applying the PAA Star Jelly. Oops. No shenanigans. Finished with a favorite....Proraso PS Red.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday!

 

yes..

 

i am well Paul thank you..have you tried a cold shave?

 

awesome shave and pic Blair..

 

Exclusively.

 

It's a full-blown Lilac scent.

 

Noses are weird. I don't get any "powder" scent from Tabac. Tobacco flower, definitely.

 

Terrific shave Blair! 10/8 straights are fun to use. I posted a youtube video a few weeks ago showing a guy shaving with a 12/8 straight! That's downright inpressive! If my memory serves me, I believe you have an 11/8 straight razor.

 

awesome ranger shave and pic Joseph.the boreal aftershave is quite strong but doesn't last long either..i like the soap base so far..but i don't think i will buy again..i have way too many others that are better..

 

Enjoy, Gary.

 

Love the choices today, Gary.

 

Gorgeous photo, Gary! Beautiful staging! Glad it went well!

 

Great kit, Joe! You’re always sporting items I’ve never heard of!. Libertalia?? Cool!

 

Thanks, Gary, Good afternoon!

 

Thanks.

This is an old generetion, called Syntex.
I just love the colors in B&W of this brush.
All the new gen fibers are lot better.
