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

Wonderful outcome for these two beautiful dogs. You are a kind soul Jeff. Oh yes, you as well Gromit.

 

Beautiful addition to the den Dave. Nice job cleaning it up.

 

Sad story on my friend from HS. He and another were tragically killed in a car wreck before graduation. His car was at home and his mom left it sit in front of the house for years. Sooo sad.

 

that is sad..

 

Congrats, Dave, that is a very unique and cool looking shaver. My package is due here Monday, apparently. You win.

Very nice shave this morning Barry.

 

Terrific shave Barry! The handle on the Parker is quite thick so it must give that razor some heft. Have a good afternoon!

 

Thanks Joe

Great shave Barry, be safe and have a great day as well !

Aftershave: Razorock X
Additional Care:

Chilly morning so why not go with an iced water shave? Don’t mind if I do. The lather was quite cold this morning with the assistance of the brush scuttle filled with a few ice cubes and water. Just the way I like it.
An easily three pass shave with the DD Goldenedge has left my face feeling smooth and refreshed. As I head out the door, for another fun filled day with the Yutes, a few spritz of Jean Paul Le Male topped off the all around scent I will be project today. Good thing I am not going to Aisle 12 in Walmart. It might confuse the fine folks there.

Have a great day gentlemen.

 

Awesome shave Joe! Have fun with the kiddies!

Good morning guys!

Shavette Shave #237
Dovo Shavette
Rockwell 1/2 DE Blade (2)
JR #386 Silvertip Brush
Stirling Glastonbury SS and AS
Dickenson's Unscented WH (not pictured)
Nivea for Men ASB (not pictured)
Whiskers: 34 hrs

Since I got a great shave with this setup on Tues. night, I decided to repeat it this morning.
Everything went well. I got a nice creamy, dense slick lather with my JR brush. I only did 2 passes to get a near BBS without any mishaps. Did my usual post shave routine to end this fine shave. Also, I recycled the pic. Sorry the post is short, but I will be going to the middle school again today. I guess it will be busy for awhile because teachers are being quarantined due to Covid exposure. Anyway, have a great day guys!

 

Great shave, have a great day Joe. 1 less work day each day !!

Nice shave Joe and hope you get to break out early again !

Razor: Gratiot Krect Spiral Curve Slant
Blade: Wizamet (?)
Brush: Sorrentino Orange Crush
Soap: Lakewood SOCP (1508.5 Project)
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Terre D'Hermes Splash
Fragrance: Terre D'Hermes EdT

I want to get to the new slant from China but this trumps it when it came in yesterday. Had one of these that was rough on the edge of the top cap but shaved like a dream other than that. I sent it off to have it redone but when it came back it didn't shave the same. Too much had to be removed from the cap to get the edge smooth before it was re-plated perhaps. I don't know but the shave was different to me. I like shiny things but will refrain from getting this one done as the shave today was a reminder of the original before getting worked with the exception that the cap is smooth on the edge. I'm afraid to mess with it. What a nice, smooth and comfortable shave was had this morning. VERY happy to have gotten another as these are pretty rare especially the plated brass version. Amazing how they could produce such a spiral curved slant with such a thin head as compared to what we see in a typical slant today and I love the handle attachment design which is unique to say the least. Hope all have a great day today !!

 

Thank you Dave...Have a great day.

 

Thanks Dave! As far as leaving early, I doubt it. However, I appreciate the good thought!

 

Thank you Joe...Your right about the Parker 87r handle..The overall weight of the razor is 3.0 oz...All of the parker DE razors have a good heft. Enjoy your day.

 

Lovely B&W photo Barry. The Parker razor looks fantastic.

Great looking photo and shave Joe. Good luck today.

Awesome Joe. Have fun with the kids.

Congrats on the new razor Dave. Sounds like you have a winner.

 

Thanks Clint

PAA Aluminum DOC with iKon handle
Gillette 7 O’clock Black
Thäter 4125/3
TOBS Herbal Sandalwood Shave Soap
Fine Santal Absolut Aftershave

​

Thursday already. Brought out a couple more things from the back of the cabinet. The PAA Aluminum DOC was an impulse purchase. I find the razor too light with the aluminum handle so I subbed the iKon handle. This setup works better for me. The TOBS Herbal Sandalwood soap was a gift from Swati. She picked it up at the TOBS store in London while on a business trip. I am very fortunate that she supports my hobby. Three passes and touch ups ended in a near BBS. I missed a spot on my lower right neck. A splash of Santal Absolut and I am ready for the day. The scent got a positive comment from SWMBO. I can't ask for more. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.
