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

Good to see your stunning pics back on the thread, Jim. Am I to assume this means there is a much needed new arrival coming soon?
Ever since Heritage started making those awesome retro dupes, I've thought they are just about the coolest homage around. Super combo all around!

 

A Trac II 'just because', Pierpaolo, or are you travelling? That Omega looks much more bleached than the usual in your pic as well.

 

Wonderful shave, pic and gear Jason! Although I have mapped my beard, I don't always go with conventional wisdom. I am fortunate that I can shave in any direction I choose during a pass without irritation.

 

I agree Jason! Neil makes great brushes!

 

Well, even if it isn't, I'm treating it like one!

I like the T2, but think that I would really like the added size of the T3.

Congrats, Danny! @clint64 is a true gentleman.

 

Thank you Dave. Have a great day.

 

Jim, I'm with Clint on this. anytime I grow it out even when camping it just drives me nuts now that I'm so used to staying clean shaving everyday. That's a beautiful picture there but all of yours are.

Always fun to see what you're shaving with and what beautiful picture you'll come up with Pierpaolo

Split black hair! Finally someone backing up my claim LOL take that Joseph! @Primotenore

 

Another fine SOCP shave Dave. Hope the world does not throw to much in your direction.

 

Thank you Joe. The two times I have used it so far there have not been any lathering issues. I had enough lather for a five pass if I wanted it. Using the Maestro's, @Primotenore, lathering method for the Fat. Today the only thing I did differently was to whip up the lather in the bowl after loading the brush.

Good morning guys!

Shavette Shave #242
Parker SRB
Rockwell 1/2 DE Blade (5)
JR #290 Synthetic Brush
Tabac Shave Stick
Pinaud Clubman Classic AS
Dickenson's WH (not pictured)
Nivea for Men (not pictured)
Whiskers: 38 hrs

This is my fourth shave of the Parker shavette min-focus. Everything went well. The Tabac gave me a nice lather and it provided my razor with a slippery skin surface to shave well. The Rockwell blade was not as sharp as I would like because I had to do plenty of buffing during my passes. Did get a very tiny weep on my stache at pass one, but it vanished without any extra help during pass two. Finished with my usual post shave routine except I double splashed the Clubman. I have to rate my shave as an IBSS+ which is fine. I have one more shave to finish this minifocus and will appropriately finish it with a new blade.
Have a great day guys!

 

The vintage brut showed up, still full along with the soap on a rope

Good to know! Maybe when I am down to 5 pucks of soap, then maybe I will take the Fat plunge. Right, like I or any other serious wetshaver will have 5 soaps in his den! Lol!

 

Awesome shave Joe!

 

Awesome Karve shave Jason and a beautiful picture. Glad you got the heat going in the house.

 

Great haul Myles! You do realize that you are probably the only one in your generation that has tried vintage Old Spice and now vintage Brut. Savor these moments my friend!

 

Ouch !

 

Thank you Myles! After this focus, I will be using my brand new Mühle R102. I can't wait until Monday!

 

Video or it did not happen !

 

Thank you Joe! I think I'll only be bringing out the brut on special occasions, it's good stuff I'll admit!

 

Good to hear from you Keith.
