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

The Wolfman is closer to Canada than it is to me. It made it as far south to Los Angeles before returning north. Current location Kent, Washington after nine scans in Seattle. I hope they don't wear out the barcode before it gets to me. Twenty three scans in total so far.

I have yet to understand this scanning.

 

I have no idea what they're doing. During normal times the package would have went from Los Angeles to Denver. Why it went north I have no clue.

I really like this razor. Not sure if its much different than the brit 'crats but I like it. 2 pass DFS. Pretty routine.

I can not believe how they are shipping things in an incompetent manner. Your package should have arrived already. Sorry that you have to go through this Jim!

 

Excellent Evan (EE) shave!

 

18 shaves on the Schick Twin blade so far using a Schick N1. Only issue is these blades don't handle multiple day's growth well when they start to mellow out. Either has to be a daily shaver or a more aggressive razor used for the first pass to get the growth short enough.

 

I think they're understaffed and overwhelmed. I'm starting to wonder if the packages are getting moved not to where it should be going but to someplace that actually has room for it. The last move was from Seattle to Kent, only 19 miles according to Google. Fortunately it's not something I need.

Thanks.
I have faith that I'll get it, the big question is when I'll get it.

That would have been quicker! No, the slow (Ali ‘anti’express) boat from China arrived and a R41 clone disembarked.

 

Hopefully before winter break.

Good evening guys!

Van der Hagen TTO Razor
Rockwell DE Blade (?)
Rockwell Synthetic Brush
Stirling Bay Rum SS and AS
Whiskers: 24.5 hrs

I decided to shave this evening using a basic setup for a beginner wet-shaver. Sometimes, it is nice to revisit a setup like this. Again, I am working tomorrow and shaving is one less thing to worry about in the morning.

Prepped my beard with hot water on the brush and used my reverse lather method. Rocky brush really gave me a beautiful, creamy, slick lather. I really like my new way of lathering. Anyway, the VDH razor is very mild and I usually have to do 3 passes or do heavy buffing to get a near BBS shave. It is why I don't use this razor that much. However, the last few shaves with this razor have been very good so I was happy that it did well.
Tonight's shave was the best with the VDH. I got a BBS- with only 2 passes and very little buffing and minor touchups with a blade that I binned after the shave. There wasn't any mishaps so it was a very fine shave. I only applied the Stirling Bay Rum aftershave to finish this shaving session. I have to get a shavette shave before Sunday's mini focus. Lol! Have a nice evening!

 

Thank you Clint.

 

Very nice shave my friend. I am looking forward to doing another X3Bar workout before my shower and shave tomorrow. The one advantage of working from home. Next week, back to the normal routine.

 

Thank you, Danny!

 

I have my Cella for a little over 3 years. It has not turned at all. It is still smelling fantastic and producing great lather.

 

My goal is to kill 5 this year

 

Thank you, Joe! I took off from the gym today because I did cardio on my day off (Sunday)

The good thing about working at home is that you are saving on wear and tear on your vehicle, and gas.That's a savings of at least 20 dollars. Justification for a new puck of soap. Lol!

 

Awesome shave Blair. Vanilla Sandalwood is such a fantastic scent.

 

True.! However, I am resisting the temptation since I am trying to reduce the den. I suspect a few may be coming my way as they are on my Amazon shopping list. The Social security birthday is later this month , so.....
