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

Thanks, Joe, this razor took an amazing edge, which astounded me! Glen Mercurio was raving about the steel on this brand of razor being capable of taking an amazing edge. I have two, and hadn’t sat down and honed either on the Shapton progression. Normally I kill the point on my 320k Diamond plate. I forgot, being amazed and all! Never again!

 

Congratulations on getting the braces off, Myles! Nice shave! I started shaving in the 60s!

 

Thanks Jeff!

 

Awesome shave Myles. Congrats on getting the braces off.

Tonight’s shave. Got a decent shave from what I’d consider the fanciest razor I own. I honed it just a few minutes before I shaved. It pulled a little, but I was able to complete my shave. I’ll give it another session on the stones soon.

Razor: Boker “our own”
Soap: Arko
Brush: synthetic
Aftershave: Barbasol Brisk.

Thank you Joe for your thoughts. If I pick up another DE i May lean towards the RR Game Changer .84 OC

Beautiful looking shave Bill

 

Absolutely beautiful.

 

Absolutely spot on shave.

 

Thank you Matt

 

So true, I don’t have to many safety razors, but I do have a lot of straight razors. The 12 straight razors I use the most are in a display case hanging in the bathroom. I really need to figure out how/ where to store the others. I have two medicine cabinets in my small bathroom, but I need to organized them better. I have a very small bathroom, so I have straights tucked away everywhere. So glad I have a understanding wife!

 

Very nice shave with an interesting razor Andrew.

 

Thanks, Joe

 

Approximately half my straights are in coffins, but I place them and my loose straights in 2 big plastic box-shaped containers with lids.
My Mad Max ( nickname for my Max Sprecher custom ) came in its own fancy box that has a magnetic lid so it stays separate from the other razors. I found these plastic containers at my local drugstore by the school supplies.

 

Thank you, Joe. She definitely needs a little more work on the stones. I’ll touch her up, on the next session.

 

great idea. I’ll have to check out those boxes. I also keep most of my razors in their coffin boxes. I also use toothbrush holders. They work great when traveling.

 

Those are really cool scales on that Boker...Awesome!

 

Great Shulton shave, Myles. I bet it feels good to have those braces off!

 

Lovely. That C&E West Indies Line is such nice scent...glad you stocked up before it ended, Gary.

 

An awesome collection that you obviously keep very good care of, Jim. Outstanding. I won’t even point out the glaring Stirling omission...
