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

Excellent report Bill. I am glad the new stone worked out.

Fantastic looking shave and photo Blair. I am not sure what NB 21 rules you guys agreed to follow. In all past years, replacement of consumable products such as blades, soap or aftershaves were allowed provided it was a direct replacement. No subs allowed. Sending out a razor for replacing and such was not allowed. However, you polishing or making a razor shave ready would be allowed provided you had all the required items on hand. Otherwise no go. These were the rules in years past.

Henson AL13
Gillette 7 O’clock Black
Zenith B37 Boar
WSP Olympus Shave Soap
Fine Platinum Aftershave
Afnan Supremacy Pour Homme EdT

​

I went with a couple of new software items today. The WSP Olympus soap was a Christmas gift from Asha and the EdT is a Adventus clone I picked up. The chubby Zenith boar loaded and lathered the Olympus with ease. The scent of the soap is more pineapple forward than Fine Platinum. However the pineapple fades into the background while lathering. The lather was as expected rich and slick. Three passes and touch ups followed by a 4 pass on the neck caught the baby. The Henson is a fine razor and would make an excellent choice for someone starting their DE journey. A splash of Fine Platinum followed but Supremacy Pour Homme EdT left me feeling and smelling fantastic. I even got a thumbs up from the wife. I can't expect much better. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

 

Lovely picture and cool razor, Clint!

Great Red Tip shave, Joe! Happy birthday!

 

Another great Henson shave, Clint! Enjoy your Sunday!

 

Thank you Jim. Trying to decide what razors to use this week.

 

Thank you Jeff. I hope you have an enjoyable Sunday as well. Oh, we managed to get my Mom scheduled for the 1st round of the Covid Vaccine.

 

Great shave, Bill! Glad you’ve got the hang of this convex hone stuff! I’m just sticking to basics! It’s about all I’m capable of handling!

 

Good for you! The bride and I are still in limbo!

 

Course I'll be reporting on it....my daily press(er SHAVE)briefings.

 

My vintage razors haven't seen much use lately so I'll probably finish out the month with them. Next month will be Just For Fun February, basically just doing what I usually do.

My aunt helped get her scheduled. I'm still not sure how she managed to get it done.

 

Hey, Jim, I noticed you’re not posting here lately, but are posting on the SOS thread. Are you leaving us, or just taking a break? It is easier to avoid temptation that way!

 

Sounds like a good plan. I have been trying to rotate through some stuff that I don't use often. I think I have two razors that fit the bill for next week. After that I am going to use your Just for Fun suggestion.

 

awesome shave and pic Clint..

 

Very generous Jason. If no one has ever shaved with one now is the chance to get a great razor.

 

Marvelous, Clint! Olympus is a wonderful soap. The new EdT sounds nice too.

 

Very nice Barry! Great pic as always. Take care.

 

Dave, I forgot about that and I appreciate the offer but I have a lot of toys in the sandbox that need to be used. Maybe later on. Thanks
