December 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thank you Joe.....well, my attitude is always good when it's Super Duper or above. . I think it's improved since Joseph (Primo)'s advice from a couple months back, where he said I shouldn;t worry about a cut/Knick when it happens-the worrying(if any)should happen at the end of the shave(i.e. the cold-water rinse). Off to the gym in a while. .

 

Thank you, Perry .

 

This handle feels a bit heavier than the one that came with the R89 (I don't have a scale, so it may not be much difference). I'll have to see how another handle will feel too. Thanks.

Good morning guys!

Straight razor shave #229
6/8 Ralf Aust Full Hollow Spanish Point
Semogue OC Super Badger Brush
Stirling Spice SS and AS
Whisker Growth: 38 hours

I haven't used this razor in 2 months so it was time to bring it out. Bloomed the soap to get a preshave from the bloom water. The Semogue brush whipped up a nice, creamy, wet lather and it was rare that I enjoyed this brush. It is such a lather hog, but with changing my technique on lathering with badger brushes, ithas been a better exoerience. I used to splay the brushes first and then paint the lather, but I have found doing the reverse will release the lather more effortlessly. Two passes and a touchup gave me a BBS - shave without any errors. Splashed on the juice and I am quite pleased with this morning's shave. I must say that the Stirling Spice scent really gives off a pleasant cologne type scent. It is one of my favorite fragrances.
Tomorrow night I will use the same setup in keeping with my double-duty theme. Have a great Saturday gents!

 

Plus Bay Rum keeps the mosquitoes and gnats away from your face.

 

I enjoy your posts Jeff! I am so glad you enjoy straight shaving! Well done! Well done!

 

Like I said, "No sweat". I always have my name on the signature lines below my posts to help old roosters like me to help them remember. Sometimes, the young ones need a reminder, too! Lol!

 

My little Den is getting quite crammed now. After my BIG purchase(s) soon, I may need to put some soaps or aftershaves into my bedroom! The time for creative thinking has begun.

 

Mine is different than that...
I pour some witch hazel onto a cotton round and wipe my face, thus removing all soap residue. Then, once that dries I splash on my aftershave.

 

Thanks Perry

 

Thanks everyone

 

Very nice Jeff. Two cool vintage razors as well.

Great looking shave Joe.

 

Fabulous shave with an awesome kit, PierPaolo! I just love the handle on that safety razor! Enjoy your weekend, my friend! I just lost another cousin to Covid in Montecatini Terme where my family’s from! Stay safe and healthy!

 

I agree completely, Barry! I own two Pro48’s, one in its original handle and another transplanted to one of Jason’s (@jtspartan) exemplary brush handles!

 

Great shave, Paul!

 

Ty, Clint.

 

Thanks, Clint! How are you feeling, my friend? Praying for your recovery!

 

Great shave, Joe! Glad you enjoyed the full experience! Enjoy your weekend!

 

Thank you Jeff! My condolences on your cousin's passing.

 

Thanks, Joe! I’m glad I discovered my forearm weighting method. Enjoy your weekend!
