September 30 Day/Rule Focus Pix & Discussion

Awesome shave Gary! I like that brush. Amazing gear as always.

That's a lot of open blade shaves Joe! Good job.

Nice shave Clint!

Awesome shave with a smooth fresh edge Blair. Talent and awesome tools deliver again... Expected but still amazing and awesome!

 

and the TR6 is awesome 4 wheeled transport..

 

Thanks gentlemen!
Nice trip as always, the weather is great!
The shave was above average.

I'm not quite 60 yet, close, so I still have a few years to run down the road.
And uh....
I cheat a little


I use 3 wheels.

Well......

Enjoy!

There are definitely elitists in this hobby. I like top-tier items, but I don't think it is necessary to spend beaucoup dollars to get great shaves. As far as honing, 95% of self-honers use synthetic or natural stones. Expense aside, I just don't want to maintain and properly store them. With lapping films, I have enough to last me for many years and when a film is spent, then it gets tossed. There isn't any hassle to store or maintain them. Now, I concede that I may be missing out on a "better" edge from stones, but my blades are smooth and sharp enough for me with films. As I say, do what makes you feel happy and comfortable in this hobby because there are many paths to achieve great shaves.

 

here is the canadian winter version..

 

Great shave and enjoy your day with the wife, Blair!

 

In that throwdown, homemade chili is alway the underdog.............. cause that is where it is supposed to go, under the dog.

Enjoy the festivities.

 

some folks like to drive race cars,others like to drive and build them..

 

awesome shave and pic Blair..

 

Wonderful shave, pic and post, Jim!

 

Very nice shave and pics, Evan!

 

I have seen them on the net, but the financial outlay was way out of my league. I am not saying they weren't worth the asking price, but I like variety and to have 7 of the same razors doesn't appeal to me.

 

fair enough..i look forward to your next custom set..

 

Thank you Gary, I appreciate the kind words. I was fortunate to make the right decision so that I could have a better opportunity to succeed with the least amount of money.

 

Thank you Evan!

 

while i haven't saved much money buying vintage gillettes over modern stainless i am happy with the resulting shaves.no blade maintenance to speak of but that's par for the de course.however,there are some modern razors i would love to indulge in....

 

Were you thinking along the lines of a Wolfman WR2, a Tradere or something else?
