March 2021 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion. ALL are Welcome!

Drive by posting time. It has been a hectic year for me, I am busy but happy and healthy.

I did a short trip Sunday through Monday with some friends to a place called Gapyeong, it is on the North Han River. Driving against the traffic it was just and hour and 20 minutes away. I was able to bring my travel razor, Karve and a stick of Tabac. There was hiking, golf, whiskey, wine, beer, Korean BBQ and cigars.






Still using a straight most days, today was Snail Forge Wootz steel razor. A late start a work allowed me enough to time the extra pass, WTG for the win, epic shave. Some vintage Rive Gauche for the frag heads on the thread.



I hope all is well with the 30DC crew, miss you guys and hope to back on a regular basis in April.

 

I was planing on doing this shave tomorrow but I’ve got to be at the recruiting office early in the Morning and I’ll have to be up earlier because it’s an hour away for me to drive. So just decided to do the shave this morning, usually I’ll post my shaves after I finish actually shaving but today I’m posting before. When I first got the EDT of this polo green I wasn’t the biggest fan because it wasn’t as good as the aftershave but I’ve been giving this edt more wear. I’m starting to love it. It has a bitter herbal opening that some might find a hard time enjoying but now that the temps are getting warmer, fragrances get sweeter off my skin in the heat, that bitterness mellows and it takes on a slight sweetness along with the green notes in this fragrance. I specifically got this one for personal enjoyment but surprisingly I’ve been getting complements with this fragrance, so maybe it works on me after all.

March Focus

MWF~~Simpson PL8~~1908 Gillette/Voskhod~~Dehn Al Oodh Malaki/Avon Premiere Luxe Oud
Sticking with a piece of equipment is certainly the best way to master it.
The Voskhod blade made its second and final appearance working with the '08 SR.
Fat Friday and my buddy Mitchell really came through.
The Polo 8 has enough backbone to pick up plenty of soap and deliver it with panache to my face.
Standard passes and a careful ATG pass on the neck left me very smooth.
No irritation, but it was evident that the blade would not return for a third at bat.
Decided to layer two scents today, applying a base of the straight Oud, Dehn al Oodh Malaki,
followed by some generous spritzes of the Avon.
You gotta like Oud to try this. Not recommended for the faint of heart.
Wishing all TSD members---especially the 30DC crew, a wonderful Friday. ​

 

Great post, Keith. We miss you too. Stay well.

 

Great shave, my fellow fraghead.

 

Well, I'm happy to call today "Fat Friday" as I returned to my Thursday shave with MWF, along with the Bill Neumann A.S.(Heartwood). Only differantz was the Jayaruh brush(for today), #59. As with yesterday, I kept loading the Jayaruh throughout the shave, as there were times I couldn't see what I had just administered to my face and neck. Much like the invisible shaves I've done with Rise(the invisible gel that comes out of the small tube)and Agadir. Anyway, alll of that led to a nice shave alongside the face and neck, but some redness at South Central Porcupine Alley(which was painless).. Cactus came out good, but again with additional spreading. I missed an area at the jwline...will get it tomorrow. Bill Neumann's Heartwood was once again a fine finish. Most Excellent.

 

Wow, Vault Boy is back!

 

VB checked the atmosphere and deemed it suitably safe to emerge.

 

Thanks Joseph!

 

Excellent Shave Joseph! Enjoy your day!

 

Fantastic Friday shave Danny! Have a terrific day!

 

Good to see you again, Magnus .

 

Great pix Keith!

 

Very nice shave Joseph! Enjoy your Friday!

 

Fine shave Paul! I check my shaved areas during or in between passes to see what needs attention. I do this so that I am not missing any areas that were not completely shaved.

 

I need to "focus" on that, Joe....I didn't think I missed anywhere until I casually felt the area just a short time ago.

 

Great shave with some wonderful thoughts Evan. Take care.

 

Awesome King C. Gillette shave. Safe travels today and hope your dad doctor's visit goes well. Take care Dave.
