September 30 Day/Rule Focus Pix & Discussion

My goodness, that is generous. I know how busy you are these days, but I think a few partnerships from us would be awesome.

 

that's a shame,have you given it all the treatments? i hair conditioner soaked all mine and they stopped hogging lather..mind you i don't have a silvertip or superbadger,just best /2 band ones..

 

Thanks Bill! All good.

Just. Say. No.

So....there's more for razors!

Great Tabac Tuesday Andrew! That is a great looking brush too. Nice read!

 

Man, I beat myself up over that failed lettering at the time. I got over it quickly, though...And at least you didn’t take 007!

 

Thanks, Blair! This brush covers a lot of facial real estate at once.

 

Thanks Andrew. Your comments are moving.

 

is that a politically correct scrabble board Charlie?

 

It's owned by the wrong guy if it is, Gary.

 

Glad to have you around, Evan.

 

..i am glad we are a small club..

 

Some days, the words just flow right through...

 

Thanks Evan! All good sir.

 

Thanks Blair. It'll be fun getting back into regular straight shaving. Plus, I want to refresh some more of my blades, this will force my hand.

 

Thank you for sharing that story, Charlie.

 

In the beginning of my shaving journey, 2012, I used three forums; B&B, TSN and TSD. First one was cold with fake camaraderie but I was able to glean allot of information. The second one was fan boy based and unless you used and sung the praises of the products of the high priest you were shunned and made an outcast. After the first two I can to TSD and joined the 30DC crew couple of months after this thread started.

Thanks to 30DC I learned to shave and maintain straight razors. The rule and then focus made a huge difference. Along the way I made friends and even flew across the globe to meet some of you in person. I appreciate the camaraderie and genuine helpfulness of the thread. I also appreciate the absence of fanboyism, with the exception of Tabac (I am a fanboy).

My level of participation goes according to how busy my life is, and these days it is busy. I still try to read as many posts as I can and post to stay in touch. I tend to limit my comments to answering specific questions or where I can lend a hand. I do appreciate and enjoy all the posts.

 

Today's JWest razor is a 6/8 Takahana Feon 172. This razor has a crazy thin grind and takes a great edge. She was my first JWest razor. A fantastic shave today with a sharp edge and some very slick soap. One of the simple joys of our hobby is a well broken in Omega Pro knot.

 

I didn't break it in like you suggested because there wasn't a stink and the bristles were soft from the start. I figured that it would eventually be broken in with continuous use. I am not the only one that has a badger brush that hogs lather. I think it has to do with how the knot was made.

 

cool shave ad pic Keith.i love omega boars..

 

I'm only as busy as I choose to be. Don't believe me if I ever complain about it. Yes a joint venture sounds like fun. So now I ask a question I should ask in a PM. How many brushes are involved in an LE run?

I blame @jgreenepa! He offered a trade at the perfect time. I think he knew what he was doing. I promise you can have 1701 when the time comes... unless of course, I can't find you, or I forget.
