January 2021 30 Day Rule/30 Day Focus Pic and Discussion Thread- All are Welcome

It has been reported that the replacement of shave den items ‘consumed’ is not a violation of the official No Buy Treaty.

It is reasonable to assume that the BST arrangements qualify as ‘item consumed’ by most journeyman level shavers.

 

Great post David and the polished Yates is gorgeous. Is the handle Yates? Looks like a polished West Coast handle. Take care!

 

Thanks Jeff! I always did enjoy hot water shaving, but my skin would always get irritated. When I got into wetshaving a few years before I joined TSD, I read that cold water shaving minimizes irritation, so that's what I did. I guess my technique has improved to the point that I can finally have hot water shaves. I have always had great shaves these past two years with cold water, but the hot water really makes it easier to shave my stubble. I still will do cold water shaves in the winter, especially when I will use Cryogen. I am planning on doing a Cryogen shave this month and maybe 2 in February!

 

OK, I'm in. My plan for this month is to try Derby Premium blades in the two razors I haven't tried 'em in yet and see what happens. I think I'll also try using the Maca Root & Aloe cream more often 'cause I'm worried by how little of it I've used so far (I started using it exactly a year ago).

 

Excellent shave Joe!

 

Frag heads need bug repellent too.

 

Great New Year's Day shave Danny! The brush is dazzling!

 

Great MWF shave, Danny! My son Sam shaves with a DE89 among others. Good solid razors!

 

Great way to start the month Joseph! Love your reports and enjoy following along with your shaves. Take care!

 

Close call, Jason. My faith in humanity has partially been restored.

What's a Churro?

 

Sounds like a great plan, Matt! Happy New Year!

 

Great shave and excellent setup. My name is Danny and it is great to have you aboard. I am the one Charlie @wristwatchb probably warned you about.

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

Great shave Danny

 

Danny, Danny, Danny.......

you need a bit more heat before you drop the taters in.

 

A long, skinny, textured (for more friable surface area) deep fried doughnut with sugar and cinnamon on it. They sold ‘em everywhere at Disneyland. Apparently not recommended by Weight Watchers...

 

Beautiful picture Jim. The Yates looks gorgeous. Awesome shave!

 

A few years ago, I drove a 15-passenger van full of ladies to South Carolina on a mission trip. I received kudos from all of my passengers on the 12-hour trip. When I got to SC, I was asked privately by the guys about the secret of my success.

1. Every time home made snacks were passed around, I readily ate them in excess and complimented the person that provided them.
2. If a few minutes passed without snacks being passed, I inquired accordingly.
3. Every time I saw a Cracker Barrell, we stopped and ate.

Simple...just like falling off a log.

P.S. We had 3 Ford rental vans. I got to choose first. I grabbed the V-10 for the coolness factor.

We were the last van to arrive in SC, but we had the best trip.

 

You kicked the year off right Pierpaolo! Beautiful and I love the handle on the Katana.

 

Thanks, Danny!
