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

So sorry to hear about your sister-in-law, Danny! I’ll pray for her!

 

Great shave, Bill! You should have a chat with Slash McCoy! It might lower his wastage rate!

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

Thanks Jeff! It's a very fun hobby. I'm happy you like the LE design.

I'll make another batch in the summer. Right now there are 12 slots left, but I'm confident they'll fill up as it gets closer.

I will delete the design from my CAD/CAM software when the LE is finished. Future designs may be similar but they will be different enough to keep the LE limited.

Bummer on the malfunctioning stuff.

Awesome view!

 

I doubt Slash or I could change each other’s opinions. I almost bought one of the $40 ‘no BS’ razors he sells just to try the ‘edge’ he likes to boast about. I appreciate his character.

 

Nice view Jeff. Sounds like things could have been worse. Hope it all gets sorted out for you soon.

 

Great shave Barry!

 

Wow what view. I hope the repairs get made quick. Take care, Jeff.

 

Thanks Jeff, that is all that can be done at this point. Much appreciated.

 

Awesome shave, Barry. Those Ming Shi 2000s are sweet little shavers. Take care.

Sunday March 28, 2021
Razor : Stirling SS ST Head
Blade : Wizamet (1)
Brush: Sorrentino Clown Puke
Soap: Honeybee Cucumber Melon
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Proraso Green Splash
Fragrance: Acqua Di Gio Profumo

So I wanted to get back to the NEW Stirling Razor and the ST Head. I have the HA Head also and will get back to trying that one but I'm pretty sure this is the one I'd use the majority of the time. Even being the Standard head it boasts a huge gap. If you use the right angle and light pressure (meaning enough to hold angle and skin contact) it will reward you with eel like slickness. That's right my BBS Baby plays with eels The soap was the remainder of my Cucumber Melon which is dwindling. In honor of seeing Eric (Smattayu) show up and join the Journals on DFS (That makes 11 I believe ) I pulled a special brush out. It was whipped up with a Sorrentino Special with some history. This was made from the left over resin from his 1st 3 handles he (on video) poured himself and was dubbed the Clown Puke. I LOVE this handle and the knot has grown on me. I've considered changing it but the white knot has softened and fits the Clown Puke theme so well. If replaced it would need to be one that could carry the theme of this pour. Sorry for the lousy pictures. It's hard to catch the colors as well as they look in person. Topped with the Proraso green splash and some Profumo and I'm ready for a relaxing day before back to the grind tomorrow. Storms rolled thru here and it's too dark to look to see the tree situation but all seems alright. Just heavy rain right now and flood warnings etc in the area which is par for the course near the Cumberland River here. I sit high up on the side of a mountain and while I could get landlocked at times, if I'm in flood danger someone better have built an Ark somewhere. Have a great Sunday Everyone !

 

Nice shaves Pierpaolo and Dave !!

 

Thanks Pat

Happy Sunday gentlemen. Highly efficient, quiet (no one else in the household is up) and comfortable shave. The usual three pass shave with great results. Smelling good with the splash of the King of Oud.

Today is SWMBO’s birthday. Later this evening, the three of us, will go out to dinner at a nice restaurant on the Great South Bay.
Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 28, 2021

Unfortunately, it was too overcast for a backdrop shot, but the shot from yesterday, although a bit gloomy will have to suffice. Today’s shave featured two modern artisan razors. The Bone Mosaic razor from Victor Creazzi delivered an awesome mug shave in three very close, smooth passes. I really like the balance and feel of this new razor, and it’s just so pretty! My favorite travel safety razor is the SS Supply fitted with a Schick Twin blade. And it delivered a dome shave every bit as smooth as the preceding mug shave. I feel refreshed, clean and velveteen smooth.

RAZOR: Victor Creazzi’s Bone Mosaic 7/8 (Mug), SS Supply V2 (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Twin Injector
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: RR 400 Noir Plissoft
SOAP: Mike’s Hungarian Lavender
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Cremo Cooling Post Shave Balm.
