SEptember tuesday shave
canadian eversharp hydro-magic
schick
custom badger
sc. bignoli
armani oud

good morning gents ,finally got my shave in ..a cloudy SEpt 1st drive with the new to me canadian hydromagic..took a bit to clean it yesterday as it looked like this.

i took a gamble,it was a deal and not far away..
anyhoo,loaded a schick blade ,built a fine sc bignoli lather with our Keith @Enrico custom built brush.fine 2+ pass bbs,no issues,nice and smooth.touch of twisted thayers and armani oud edt to finish..awesome..
my story ..when i started at TSD in Jan. 2017 i was 3 or so months in with gillettes,i was getting good shaves with them but not like i do now.i still did the Paul H routine at 2-3 times a week with dfs results.no complaints,perfect for work as i still had my auto repair business and it wasn't a gentleman's shop..i played around for a year or so collecting many razors of many types .after that i decided to get a bit more serious and started following along on the thread here with the occasional sotd..many different folks here then.i think i became a full fledged 30DC member around august/september 2017 i attempted a focus of sorts.next challenge was the OC or tech focus either/or..would have to look back..then the progressing to daily shaving from twice a week due to my shop closure and a service writing/advising position at a buddies shop.made me feel good to look well groomed and clean shaven...the rest is history as they say..moved a bunch of razors along and concentrated on my brit gillette collecting,but still had an itch so i kept a couple of non gilletes,namely a cooper monobuilt,a merkur or 2 that i still don't use and now a valet or 2..i will be honest,i don't miss the Gem/eveready variety.cool looking but ..not for me..i still want a Karve orA Silversmith one day when i stop buying other crap..but another schick or 2 is a cheap indulgence....
that's me in a bombshell. have an excellent rest of Tuesday everyone..

 

Great report, Gary!

Good afternoon guys!

Shavette Shave #198
Parker SRB
Rockwell 1/2 DE Blade (4)
Rockwell Synthetic Brush
Proraso SS and AS

I just wanted a nice, relaxing shave with some tingle. Rocky produced a nice Proraso lather for me to get a good shave. Two passes gave me an IBSS + without any irritation or bloodshed. I could have done touchups, but I decided to call it because it is late in the day and I am not going anywhere that's important. Splashed the Proraso aftershave and experienced very little burn. Have a great day guys!

 

Nice Schick shave, Gary! Great razor, you should try it with a Twinjector blade.

 

Nice shave, Joe!

 

awesome proraso shave and pic Joe,good afternoon..

Thanks Jeff!

 

thank you Jeff.i will have to get some.i was going to save it but a kind friend here who knows my gillette obsession sent me a late 60s gillette injector,loaded with a fresh twin injector blade..will be up in the rotation soon..

 

awesome shave and pic Jeff.one of those supply razors is on my list as well..i may have to go back to work..

 

BTW Andrew, the only sad part of joining 30DC in June is having to wait so long for May. That's all I have to say about that.

 

awesome Mark..

 

My TSD/30DC story was very simple. I was browsing the net looking at shaving supplies and forums. I came across this forum and saw all the different threads and thought I can learn more about shaving. Came across this thread and joined the TSD/30DC Dec. 2018. At the time, I had close to 50 open blade shaves. Looking back, the amount of knowledge that I gained has been immense. I thank all of you for your support, camraderie and suggestions that have made my shaves fun and efficient.

 

Thanks Gary! I just came back from the gym and this shave was a great cool down.

 

I think you’ll like it! It shaves better than my a Schick Prolines.

 

i did too,but wasn't prepared to by newer or more bladed versions,i hated shaving period.they were the last carts i used until DE kicked in.they got somewhat better with a brush and soap.but no real experience with any other carts....bic disposables really suck..
