November 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

This 30DC has leaders for everything...except resistance.

 

That's great advice, Myles. This is a good video tutorial as well.

 

Great shave, Barry! I agree that Schafmilch is good stuff! I was introduced to it by our own master enabler, Andrew (@Droo78), and have found it to be a solid shave soap with a decent post shave feel, not up to MWF’s level, but then again, I’ve yet to find a soap as good, and I’ve been wet shaving with DE’s since many of our current crew were in nappies!

 

Forget about the shave, Joe! Where can I get a shirt and tie like yours? And does it come in pink?!?

SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 2020

There really is something revivifying about a great shave! Trying to sleep sitting up with broken ribs is not easy, but despite that, this cold, beautiful, sunny morning set the stage for the shave to follow! I selected my favorite, and probably my oldest straight razor, the Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 for the mug shave and the Tom White repaired Schick F Type for the dome.

The MrEE #007 Knurled Aluminum Hybrid Knot brush easily created the two types of MWF lather I like for my shaves - a thin, slick lather for the mug and a nice thick yogurty lather for the noggin. I do love shaving with the Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 Stubtail. Three slow, luxurious (WTG, ATG, XTG) passes with this magical stubtail left me velveteen smooth. I truly feel like a caretaker for this 200 yr old beauty! It always takes exquisite care of me. My son, Ben, shaved with it and shares my opinion. He’ll be the next caretaker.

When I was first gifted this old, somewhat battered Schick F Type by my neighbor, the razor was non-functional. The very able administrations of TSD’s Tom White (@twhite) restored its function. My two pass (ATG, ATG) dome shave with it was close and very comfortable! And as I said earlier, the total shave, both mug and dome, almost made me forget about my broken ribs! I feel cool, clean, refreshed and velveteen!
