March 1st

Simpsons Shaving Cream
Brad Sears Shave Works Disco - Super Badger Hybrid
Seiko 6/8 Kamisori
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements ASB & AS/C - Doppelgänger Black Label

In for March, technically will be 2/3 Rule I suppose. 1 Razor, 1 Brush, 2 soaps. Skin finishing and fragrance products are whatever is the fancy for the day. Looking to sink the Simpsons shaving cream, maybe 4-5 shaves left, then will continue with BAUME.BE shaving cream. These two creams are extremely similar for lathering and shaving performance in my world, save for the color in the tub. The Simpsons SC also starts off more hydrated (soft), enough that it could easily be in a tube.

Excellent bowl lather today with the Simpsons shaving cream, super volume, wonderful face feel and slick. The BSSW Archduke II handle w/super badger hybrid 28mm knot made easy work bowl lathering, but also continued to build more on the face with some gentle swirling and painting. 2.5 passes with the NOS Seiko Kamisori (traditional grind), 1 small neck weeper quelched with styptic. First pass for me is always with the grain (WTG, North to South), second pass is cross the grain (XTG, nose to ears), last half pass is just the jawline and lower, finishing usually with an opposite cross the grain, (XTG, ears to center, toe down). Nice super smooth results all over, save for a small sandpaper patch on the right jawline. Finished with PAA's Star Jelly, followed by a wifey super favorite , PAA's Doppelgänger Black Label (homage to Christian Dior's Savage).

Here's PAA's scent description:



Hope everyone has a fantastic Monday!

Those sound like some great focusses, Garrett. Glad to see you join in.

A very nice pic again, Jeff.
"and it swept away my dome stubble like the Romans through the Sabines"? Yeesh, raising the bar around here...

Beautiful shave Joseph and I loves me some TF Grey Vetiver

Awesome Micromatic shave Evan

Wow just wow shave and Happy Anniversary Jim

Not a dupe but go together SO well !!

You don't see those Queen Charlotte soaps around much any more, Pierpaolo. Another unique aftershave, as well!

Love that Disco Brush, Blair, and another outstanding pic of course. Love the quality of those PAA dupes. Congrats on the SWMBOSOA.

Thanks, Dave!

Great shaves Jeff, Pierpaolo and Blair. Phew, caught up for now and back to work now......

Nice Micromatic shave and photo, Dave. Being an unsophisticated ‘Nasal Barbarian’, I can’t relate to the fraghead stuff, but do appreciate it!

Nice Micromatic shave, Myles! They’re great razors! I’ll probably break out a couple of my Gems this month!

Great Gem shave, Joe! Enjoy your day and stay safe out there!

Great Masamune Cade shave, Clint! Beautiful photo staging! Hope you’re feeling less woozy from the meds and the headaches are subsiding! Enjoy your day and try not to stress!

Thanks Jeff!

Another great member of the Micromatic Monday Shaver Club, Danny! Enjoy your day! I’ll definitely be shaving with all my Gems this month!

Nice shave, Paul!

Great Gillette shave, Jason. Enjoy your day!

I'm no frag head and can't break down scents like these sophisticated guys can. I just know if Dave likes or Dave doesn't like LOL

Wonderful fragrant Tech shave, Joseph! Great kickoff shave! I wouldn’t know Tom Ford from Bill Smith, but glad you like it! Enjoy your day!

Nice Micromatic shave, Evan! Nice to see you posting again! Hope all is well with you and yours!

Lovely photo and shave, summary! Nobody does ‘shiny’ as well as you! Enjoy your day!

Thanks, Jeff!

Welcome to the 30DC Crew! Good luck on your soap collecting journey!

Great Razorine shave, PierPaolo! How do you like it? It is made in Italy!

Cool shave with your open edge watch, Blair. I wasn’t aware that Seiko made cutlery!

Thanks, Jason, just wanted to stay socially correct and avoid the “R” word associated with that event.

True

Fantastic shave this morning Joseph. You keep tempting me with your posts.

Thank you Clint.

Very nice Focus plan Garrett. I look forward to your upcoming shave posts.

Absolutely beautiful shave Jeff. Hope you are having a good day.

Super shave Jim. Love the focus of using 1:1:2. You should really dial in the shaves by the end of the month. SWMBO's favorite = perfection.

Superb shave Pierpaolo. Every now and then I am tempted to pull the trigger, no not @Trigger, on obtaining a Razorine. What is your assessment of the razor?

Thank you Jeff. You have a great day as well.

awesome intro Joseph,happy march..

Thank you Jason. It feels fairly solid. I don’t find it heavy. I’ll weigh it later today and let you know the exact weight.
