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

First MWF lather? Impressive.

 

Arrived last night so yep, 1st. Thanks

 

Great shave Patrick! Your razor was called the Black Beauty or the Slim Super Adjustable. They made them in 84 or 109 mm handles. You have a 1970 model. You would have to measure the handle to find out if you have 84 or 109.

 

I don't see a Super Adjustable (I own one) in that pic Joe. It's a standard Black Handle Flair Tip Super Speed (1st qtr 1970)

 

Excellent shave Dave! Congrats on the great MWF lather!

 

Thanks Joe, Have a great day !

 

Great looking shave Patrick.

Super Hump Day shave. The week is just moving along nicely. Piacenza is one of my favorite Stirling scents.

A three pass shave with the mild blue tip delivered a smooth and comfortable shave. When I first picked up this razor, I was not impressed with the shave it presented. However, finding the right angle, in this case closer to riding the cap, this razor shave extremely well.
Have a great day gentlemen.

 

SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, Day 4 Gillette Focus, January 13, 2021

Here we are on Day 4 of the Gillette safety razor focus, and it was time to pull out my favorite shaving Gillette, the New LC. This safety razor is hands down my favorite dome shaving Gillette. It never fails to deliver a very close, smooth noggin shave, and it certainly didn’t disappoint this morning. Equipped with a Kai blade it swept away the dome stubble while providing that blade feel I so enjoy. The mug shave that followed featured my Wade & Butcher 7/8 with its retouched Naniwa 12k/Jasper stone edge. Three delightfully slow buttery smooth passes completed this morning’s shave and put the baby to bed. I feel refreshed, clean and velveteen smooth.

RAZOR: Wade & Butcher 7/8 (Mug), Gillette New LC (Dome)
BLADE: Kai DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme AS Balm.

 

Great shave Joe !

Jeff, a great shave, Have a great day !

 

Dave, fantastic lather with your first use of MWF. The Fatboy looks awesome.

 

Thanks Clint, have a good day !

 

Happy Hump Day Joe. Wonderful shave report and photo. The brush is beautiful.

 

Excellent shave report and photo Jeff. The New LC is a fantastic razor.

 

Fabulous Fat shave, Dave! Welcome to the Fat Fraternity! Just kidding, but it’s great stuff! Continuing use will lead to skin conditioning benefits that will surprise you! I refer to it as the “disappearing weep” phenomenon! Enjoy your day!

 

Thanks, Clint! It really is! With a Kai blade it’s an amazingly efficient shaver for me!

 

Great safety razor technique, which you clearly possess, Joe, allows for a close shave with any safety razor! Kudos on another great Blue Tip shave!

 

Thanks Jeff

 

Thanks, Dave, you too! Stay safe out there!
