November 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I can I think. But I am sure the compressor is shot. I may play with it before it gets hot again.

 

Hey, there it is, Blair..the Zingari! The sample you sent is set to go..you'll be interested in my procedure for "scraping" it from the tiny container. All it took was just a couple scrapes and the whole thing fell into my cup. I certainly didn't expect THAT to happen-that is, for it to just plop right in, , but I'll take it. How are you today?

 

Lotta room. The back seats fold down. It’s fun.

 

Great looking set up. That brush is awesome! As to the dentist I have said for years most women need a mute button.

 

Shoot me a PM with your address and I'll send it to you to try out.

 

Like yourself, I've been neglecting my Stoylin(soaps&aftershaves that is.....my brushes have been busy). I'm moving some up close to be ready for use soon, though.

 

Fabulous photo and shave recap Danny. I feel exactly the same way about work. It’s very nice to have a job.

Next up in the No Repeat rotation is this fine G4. An excellent lather with the Reserve- what a change it has undergone as it has aged, but as long as you bloom it a bit and overload it off the puck you are rewarded with an excellent lather. Only a few brushes left before I’ll start from the top again. Love this one.
Anyway, 3 easy passes to start the week. Perhaps a little left on the lower right neck, but more than acceptable.
Have a great day all!

 

Superb shave Clint. One fine looking razor.

 

Excellent shave Jason. Have a great Monday.

 

Happy Monday Gary. Thank you

 

Terrific shave, pic and setup Gary! Have a great Monday!

 

SOTD MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 16, 2020

There's something about Sheffield Cast Steel’s edge holding ability that is just addictive along with, of course, the thrill of shaving with a 190-200 year old razor. One feels almost like a caretaker. This very early French Point Boker was built with imported Sheffield cast steel 70-80 years before Germany’s Import Act of 1891, and restored for me by Glen Mercurio. The three pass (WTG, ATG, XTG) mug shave left me velveteen smooth. My noggin shave, unfortunately, was not in the same category, but still satisfying. My best shaving injectors are my E Type and my Supply V2, but this repaired F Type delivered a smooth shave albeit leaving some very slight residual roughness in the valleys at the back of my dome. However, the able ministrations of my old Boker cleaned things up admirably in those two problem areas leaving me refreshed, clean, and smoothly velveteen!

RAZOR: Boker & Co. Sheffield Cast Steel French Point 5/8 (Mug), Schick F Type (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Injector 2
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Aluminum Handled Monster Tuxedo Synth
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash.

 

Excellent shave Blair! Friodurs are fantastic razors. I have to take mine out for a shave before the end of this month.

 

Fantastic shave and photo Jason. Love the brush.
