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

Very interesting.

I had a couple razors honed by Howard Schecter. That is a practice I believe he uses. He said it removes a wire edge.

 

Thanks Patrick and I hope the meds help.

 

Thank you Charlie! I had mentioned earlier that my dad was a truckdriver. He stopped smoking by going cold turkey at 51 and lived to be 83. It took a simultaneous heart attack and stroke to land him in the hospital. I found him unconscious. He stayed alive for the next 5 weeks albeit he was unconscious except for one moment when he woke up and said he wanted to go home. Those were his last words to me. My dad was a strong----!" You get the idea.

 

thank you Clint..

 

Hi all.....
Having bought nothing shave related in 2021, seemed almost sacrilegious.
But, I am ok with blades and seeing I seem to have attained razor nirvana, nothing has caught my eye.


Then this appears on my screen....



I wasn't looking for a razor or razor implements in amazon or ebay or...
I was at work trying to get parts for connecting wires.


Ok...ok....
I know, I don't need another razor, I got that, but it noted that there were only 3 left, 3! Only 3!!
So I didn't think... I ordered that as fast as my little mouse would click.
I could've posted this in the haul forum or waiting on arrive, yeah probably should've.
But here I had a feeling you'd all understand the pure Christmas morning feeling.
Well, when it finally arrives I'll post it here after the first time.
Can't wait to install a new feather blade in it and take it for a spin.

Keeping it fresh!!

Howard Schecter from Mass. is one of the great honemeisters. Nick Shaves featured him on his YouTube channel years ago. I don't even know if Howard Schecter is still around.

Rockin' shave, Danny. I can't wait to see the fully revamped PAA razor. Very generous of @clint64 to include the Godrej cream.

 

fine shave and pic Danny,cool razor and handle..

 

I've been following your Red tip adventure and it did seem like you were not having much success with the blade at hand . That's the difficult thing when you first start using a DE is everyone throws blade suggestions at you based on their experience with a certain blade . As we all know everyone is different. Once you find a blade that works for you stick with it . I know it can be frustrating at times but dont give up. I have faith in you mastering the DE and enjoying many wonderful shaves with it Paul

What a nice handle you created Danny ! Impressive my friend

 

thank you Patrick..
