April 2021 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion. ALL ARE WELCOME!

Thanks Jason...I will probably shed a few tears when it goes back to Dave.

 

Love the smiling razor, Joe. Every time I see one it puts a grin on my face. Excellent shave and take care.

 

Oh ok, thanks.

 

Thanks, Joe! I’m just about where I want to be vis a vis my straights. I’ve unloaded a few from my barter period. I find myself shaving with pretty much the same 14 or 15 straight razors. That’s turning out to be true of my safety razors as well. I’ve been slowly unloading them either through sales or PIFS.

 

Initial thoughts on the Private Oud: I DID get some freebies! They are samples of-Khateer, Shagraf Oud, Shagraf Oud, Aswad, Oud Maknoon(@Primotenore , I believe you have this one??), and Dhen AL Oudh Malaki. Each one small but POWERFUL. You spray these on. The Private Oud itself does come with that vial for pouring(dripping?), I can see getting that one onto my WRIST, but the neck will be a challenge. More to come later as I put'em to use.

 

April 9th
Fat Friday

Razor: Gillette 195 Adjustable D3
Blade: Gillette Nacet
Brush: Rubberset 400 clone
SS: MWF
AS: Adidas

The Fatboy did okay. The brush is new and needs defuncting. The lather was good. The aftershave was nice.

My wife and 3 youngest are visiting her parents. My 17 year old is babysitting me.

Have a great weekend.

 

Bidding on a Weber razor just ended on E-Bay. Sold for $280.00 plus shipping.

Thought y'all would find that interesting.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Nice shave and I hope your baby sitter is not too strict. Take care, Evan.

 

Jason the Chubby 3 does have a bigger knot than all the others with a handle in between

• T3 has a handle height of 50mm with a knot of 26mm with 50 mm loft
• CH2 has a handle height of 44mm with a knot of 27mm with a 50mm loft
• CH3 has a handle height of 48mm with a knot of 29mm with a 55mm loft

I am looking forward to giving the Chubby 2 a go. It will be interesting how it compares to the other two face lathering.

 

Thank you Jason. I can safely say the Fat will be repurchased when this one is done and dusted. I have grown to really like the stuff.

 

Gorgeous razor Joe. The Damascus blades just look so damn good.

 

Excellent shave lineup Evan. Enjoy the time with your 17 year old. Maybe she won't be too tough on you as a babysitter.

 

They have been climbing up in price lately. I guess it is wanting what you can't have.

 

Weber was out when I got into wet shaving but didn't that razor originally sell for around $70.00?

 

Yes around $70 or a little less. A big deal was made about the "wavy blade" issue just before they stopped making razors. ATT was the one that killed them. ATT was machined and available in 3 different blade gaps etc.

 

Thanks for the info, Clint.

 

Thank You

 

Love that smiling blade, Joe! I can't tell for certain from the pic, but it looks like SanMai pattern-welded Damascus. I shaved with a smiling blade today as well.
