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

Excellent Red Tip shave as well as your taste in music, Myles! Although I think this group is probably one your grandfather and I used to listen to although I don’t remember them clearly, but if you want to listen to another group from that era give a listen to one of my favorites, “The Dave Clark Five”....!

 

I have to admit....Jeff is committed!

 

Just...Wow.
Well, I wouldn't have been able to travel across the border to your wedding anyway. No need to even worry about it now, apparently...

 

Your doctor needs to take his negative comments and stuff them! He should be congratulating you that you found a way to use a straight razor. I understand that he is letting you know what will happen in the future, but hopefully, you will be straight razor shaving well into your 80's. I would say if you are approaching ninety than it may be a good idea to use a safety razor or a cartridge. I believe using a straight strengthens your focus and the eye/hand coordination. Discontinuing your straight shaving will regress your brain faster. Of course, this is my opinion.

 

Wish I had one. Nice.

 

That plan was a super fund toxic waste site of stench. I just can't smell that bad on purpose.

 

Back from the doctors appointment. The visit turned out about like I expected. I am going to see a Neurologist. First available appointment is 2/24/21, so only three weeks more to begin the process. Doctor thought the headaches and dizziness are symptoms of the real cause so test will be needed. These will likely include a cat scan with contrast and/or an MRI.

 

Sounds like you are going in the right direction. Hopefully they can get it figured out and soon.

In the mean time Doc. Hembree prescribes some internet shopping.

 

I hold my own bullet. It's in my pocket, nestled in my pocket protector.

 

Great SRX shave, Joe! Thank goodness you used a soap other than the T-word synonymous with crack and just as addictive! Look what it did to that poor hillbilly from Kentucky (@wristwatchb)!

Post-Tabac and excessive HgH use

 

fabulous set ups,shaves and pics gents..happy February..

 

Please be aware that even though there are those of us that knew you actually dialed the dial on telephones to make a call unless you were a wealthy elitist that could buy the premium phone service that let you push buttons................
............... there just might be younger people here that are unaware what “speed dial” means.

And you might find folks in parts of Kentucksylvania still cranking the phone and asking Mabel to connect them to so and so who have no idea what “dial” means.

must have something to do with 3017’ing or 1805.3’ing a shave product or something

I respect your opinion, Jeff. It's yours to have.
I have cut myself with both a safety razor---indeed a Feather AS-D2 and a straight razor. Last month, 30 straight shaves with an R41. No "cuts", but plenty of weepers and some irritation. Today's straight razor shave...Nada. Yes, the blade is fully exposed, but, the trained wielder has better control over the angle. The thinness of a DE blade also contributes to the aggressiveness. Of course not all DE's are aggressive, it's not what I said. I was making the direct comparison between my 2011 R41 and my straights. My opinion probably is contrary to most others, but that never stopped me before.

 

Thanks Gary!

 

Let's pray for something simple and treatable, Clint.
