November 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

the new deluxe razors were the u.s versions of the long handled new lc .updated from the new improved/standard/bostonian.3 piece new deluxes ( baseplate separate from handle) are rare.england never made them and had rfb versions instead.there are 2x three piece design razors-1 with the handle/base plate attached like a single ring/bostonian/new improved/new deluxe and a 3 piece with separate handle/base plate/cap like the new sc/lc/tech etc..i think you get my meaning..

 

I learned something new. Thanks for the info. Seems I gravitate towards the more traditional.

Happy Friday Everyone. It has certainly been a day for me. The day started off well with the rare opportunity to sleep in with a leisurely morning and early afternoon spend with the family. I until the mail ran for my shower and shave. Given my complete lack of patience, I wanted to try out the new Parker Adjustable Injector I ordered on a whim. @PLAla Perry did a wonderful job enabling me. Honestly I am easily enabled. While digging around in my cabinet, I spotted the Zenith Chubby Boar that I have not used in a very long time. Since it is MWF Friday, I soaked, bloomed, baptized or drowned the soap while showering. The Chubby Boar tore through the MWF and was a joy to face lather. My best results to date with the MWF, The Parker shipped with a new blade but I loaded a new one anyway. The first sensation of the razor is the lightness. Seriously next to a Supply Co injector this felt toy like. If you are looking for a fire breathing 1 or 2 pass razor, move along. I dialed the Parker wide open and had little to no blade feel. Three passes and touch ups caught the baby but I had to work at catching the little guy. I am sure the results will improve with use but this will never be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Shortly after the shower and shave, I got the call that my Aunt had just passed. This is my Mom's younger sister. So Asha and I drove the hour to break the bad news to my Mom in person. No matter how many times, I have been the one to deliver this news, it never gets easy. Times like today make it seem that it gets harder each time. Asha and I spent the afternoon and early evening with Mom. We left when my nephew, Spencer, arrived to keep Mom company. Sometimes it does take a village. For such a tiny little lady, she has been so strong losing her husband, daughter and all her brothers and sisters. I really didn't have a good answer when she asked "What am I supposed to do now?" I just told her we do what we always do. "Get up and put one foot in front of the other until our turn is over". I would not be surprised to receive a call from Mom asking me to come back in the wee hours of the night or morning. For those so inclined, please keep my Mom in their prayers.

 

fine shave Clint.honest razor review.my condolences and prayers..

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Great shave, Bill! Glad you worked out the issues with the razor!

 

Sorry to hear the news, Clint! I’ve added your mom to our prayer circle! Please accept my condolences!

 

Great Supply shave, Jason! I prefer the three dot plate myself! Glad your shave went well!

 

Clint, you’re welcome on the enabling. My Parker should arrive tomorrow. Certainly I could see how it would feel like a toy compared to the heavy Supply.

Second, I’m so sorry to hear of your aunt’s passing. You’ve spoken about your mother before and she seems like an incredible woman. I know today was tough. Prayers, my friend, for your family.

 

Great shave Bill! Glad to see ya checking in and congrats on getting the straight shave ready.

 

Thanks, Jason! The Softguard is the newest AC blade and has garnered some negative press from the hardcore aggressive shave lovers, but honestly, I found it to be an excellent blade and experienced as close a shave with the softguard as I got from the Supers, with far less chance of injury. I’m sold on it. Just ordered a case!

 

Great shave Jason! I think you are liking your Georgia razor.

 

Thank you Jeff.

Thank you Perry.

 

Thanks Jason...the R41 clone is probably about two weeks out but I'm looking forward to giving it a go and letting you know the results.

 

if you shim your karve razor you will get similar results..

 

Let's change the subject.

To bloom or not?
