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

Three...or more by now I think.

Funny, true story on how to get your own set of Tupperware food containers.

Use one for changing the oil in a four wheeler or lawn mower. You know, cause those home oil catch contraptions are way too big to fit under those appliances.

Wifey came out to check on me working outside in the mid summer Texas heat when we first moved in the house.....and caught me. An 'el cheapo set showed up for garage use the next day, and yeah, I had to replace the name brand version.

 

Lovely black and white image Barry! Such unique combinations for your shaves!

Super combination Chris!

Cool straight razors the past couple days Pierpaolo! That Dovo is a looker, the Tafuri has a wicked squared toe!

Love the Rockwell polished Dave, sounds like a nice aroma for the soap!

They are different Terry. I'll bet it's just a slight angle difference because of the new razor's clamping design (putting a curve on the blade). Shiny!

 

Thanks Blair

 

Priceless

 

thank you Dave..

 

No fun on the new crimson issue Paul. One passer gets it done though! Thinking out loud....still wondering on the reason for your cuts. Do you ever have blade movement sideways when these are happening with either razors?

Nice Joe! Sounds like a fun day.

Always love seeing those two razors Jeff!

 

Thanks Gary!

 

Just got back from a local antique shop, found a nice Gem macromatic, if anyone is interested PM me.

 

Nice shave Terry. Hopefully with time you will become more comfortable with the razor.

 

Nice. Why don’t you keep it for yourself?

Fabulous shave Dave.

 

Thanks Joe

 

I have a Gem featherweight, I’d figure someone may want it.

 

Thanks Bill! It wasn't until I became a 30 DC member that I became aware of the healing effects of witch hazel after a shave.

 

I do understand. I look at it as understanding the nuances of any shave item and working with it to your advantage. You will agree that not every straight shaves the same way based on grind and size of the razor. We choose a razor based on stubble growth such as full hollow straights for light stubble and the thicker grinds for heavier stubble. The same principle applies with brushes, synthetics for a quick easy lather, boars for exfoliation and badgers for smoothness. Lather hogs are not for everyone, but squeezing out the lather and palming it on my face is not a big deal to me. I guess it is a matter of how you look at it.

 

That is a great shave with a beautiful razor Doug! Have an awesome day!

 

Went for it. $23.99 on Amazon. I love Tom Ford Black Orchid.

 

Terrific shave Gary! Enjoy your day!

Thanks Gary!

 

Blair, I can't tell about blade movement, but right before these last two cuts in the same place, I did move the razor-going against the grain on the jawline(moving from ear to the left).
