August 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I learned from the best.

 

very cool..

 

Zenith Brush handle that's awesome.

If you need higher resolution, can do. TSD only allows 1mb files to cross.

 

Excellent presentation Gary.

 

This is what I am experimenting with. Obviously this isn't aluminum.

 

Low resolution is fine. What I really need is the photo taken from a distance so my tracing software can pull a silhouette with minimal distortion. I took mine from about 6 feet back and then I cropped it. Low resolution is less of a problem than the distortion from taking the picture up close.

 

That is very cool Evan. Y'all brush turners have some of the coolest tools....lathes, 3D printers, belt sanders/polishers/drill presses, and more.

 

If the one I sent doesn't work....I can reduce it to only pure black pure white graphic (JPEG, PNG, etc.) or a vector image (.EPS) graphic if needed. It was done at about 3 feet away, zoomed in, then edited for cropping in even closer.

I also have JPEG to Vector tracing software, it has the capability of smoothing the vector arcs. One of the other aspects of what I do is motorsport/vehicle/business/sign graphics. Taking a logo and tracing it for a sponsor for example, in cases where the sponsor (or art dept) is slow to send the 'official' eps files.

Just let me know.

 

Thanks Clint!

Nice Shave Jason! I like that brush. That's one of yours correct?

I made 4 blanks and figured I'd just play around with one of them. The chalk is the only one that worked.

Thanks Andrew! I noticed you also did a Williams Wednesday! Great minds think alike, and somethings I think like a great mind too.

Thanks Joe! Yep, it's ALMOST too big.

Very nice Blair. I really like that brush.

Always nice Gary!

It was fun to use, but it wastes a lot of soap, Joe. I think it would drive you crazy.

Very Nice Jeff!

Thanks Gary! It's just about the biggest I can make on my mill.

Well, us tool junkies collect a lot of tools. Would you believe I had to borrow a table saw last month? I haven't returned it yet so I think it's probably mine by now.

Thanks Everyone! Life is good.

 

I'll make it work. Thanks, it will be a fun one.

 

Thanks Evan!

 

thank you Joe..

 

thank you Evan...

 

that's very cool..an aluminum one would be cool.i love my commodore brush..

Blackland Tradere OC
Gillette 7 O’clock Yellow
Simpson Duke 3 Synthetic
Mike’s Bay Rum Shave Stick
Dominica Grand Bay Rum Aftershave

​

I noticed the Mike's Bay Rum shave stick while looking through the cabinet and realized I had not used it recently. I like to use synthetic brushes with shave sticks so the Duke 3 got the nod. This pairing is really a face lathering dream team. The Duke 3 is so easy to splay and use while the Mike's Bay Rum scent is just straight pure undiluted bay rum goodness. Three passes and touch ups ended with a perfect BBS shave. My best so far with the Tradere. After six shaves I can say that the Tradere OC is a smooth and efficient razor. Happy Thursday everyone. I hope everyone has a great day.

 

Terrific shave, Clint! Sounds like you already have the Tradere dialed in.

Good looking razor, Clint. Do you know what the blade gap is?
