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

Great shave Dave....love the lather catcher.

 

Actually......we did. A bit quietly, see below.

I think neither Jason nor I are going to fall off the wagon, per se.....so maybe it ends as a trade. I'd love to have more of Jason's work, I have two of his handles. One as the '19 30DC offering (bought from the batch Neil had at the '19 meet up), and Jason's Blue Resin Maple example I show often. Jason has politely declined anything in return, which I feel slightly lopsided. WRT the NB '21, I mentioned a RRM (red resin maple) brush handle and a bowl earlier this month, and Jason said Terre D'Hermes as his choice.

Here's the posts:

 

Nice.....very nice Dave!

 

I had forgotten about that exchange.
I guess that would be between you and Jason.

Lovely shaves Jeff and a beautiful picture. The handle on the General is the best looking handle on a safety razor. Take care.

 

Great shave Evan and good to hear from you. Looking forward to seeing the brush handles as they progress through the shop. Take care.

 

With regards to restoring the W&B 7/8 Celebrated, pretty sure I have everything, but may need the ball peen hammer and pin setting tool. Have the razor, very deteriorated scales, blade needs a good buffing and bevel reset. Purchased a bench grinder/buffer last year. For scales, I have two options already purchased, and a brass pin setup (with extras).

Replacing the PAA CK6 and AS & C, Gondolier, I was thinking it's a no go personally. I have TONS of soap & aftershave, so why would I be allowed to replace something I ran out of, when I had years' worth of other options already.

Kind of torn on the Barbasol FH....it's something I already have, just want to make it prettier. But I can wait.

 

Awesome shave Matthew...always good to hear from you.

 

Man these guys with Light boxes are killing it with the pictures. Off the charts. Have a great day Blair !

The picture was not for provenance but one for me to indicate perhaps mine was from early 1900's after all. Nothing I shared was to give dating for mine. Simply to show when they started making them was all. Doesn't really matter to me when it was (late 1800's or early 1900's) It's older than me

 

Great shave and pic Clint

Completely understand. Anytime down the road, just let me know

 

I can't add anything more when your wife gives a thumbs up! Enjoy your day Clint!

 

Thanks Danny

 

I'm not offering thoughts as it's always different depending on the forum and guys doing it. Then there's the instigators.........Joseph and Gary in 3..........2 ...........................................1...................

 

Thank you Andrew. I am really glad Asha got me the Olympus Soap.

 

I can always count on you, Charlie, to brighten my day. Thanks.

 

Thank you Dave and Joe. It has been a pretty good day. Taking care of some chores around the house.

 

Good job, Bill.

 

Thanks Dave! Just a little info...no light box used for that image. Hardly ever use mine anymore, except for product videos. Today’s image is in my shop though, work tabletop brightly lit with 3 dimmer controlled LED 4’ shop lights. Captured with my iPhone. Backdrop is a black golf/polo style shirt that I don’t wear, it’s itchy scratchy.

and...b1hart=Blair. No worries, I do the same from time to time.
