May 2021 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion. All are welcome!

I knew that was happening. Lol! Great pickup Danny.
Lot of traffic coming from that part of the world lately.

 

Thanks Joe....I kept looking and looking and finally broke down.

I'll blame it on Clint @clint64.

Hey....I got to blame on someone....after all he ordered a hot pink shaving brush.

 

Well, I just paid for my hotel reservation at the Fairfield Inn and Suites/ Marriott in Frederick Md.
June 5 -7 for two nights. Wedding is on Sunday June 6 and I leave the next morning.

 

I hope you have safe travels and an enjoyable trip.

How long of a drive is that for you?

 

Someone's smitten with his razor, COOL Danny !

 

thank you Blair..

 

very cool..

 

thank you Clint.

 

i find the brit flat bottom techs a little more efficient than the post war design techs with the triangular stamped base plate.most likely due to blade exposure.all the different techs have different thickness caps .some caps are slightly narrower so the show more of the blade.by measured stats the canadian prewar tech has the best exposure and it will cut down longer growth more easily.however these differences are miniscule to most folks including myself.techs with a larger exposure offer a greater angle/sweet spot to work with.the post war techs are very smooth but they tend to be milder and plug up more quickly imo..obviously my preference for early brit gillettes is somewhat nostalgia based as well.in the end they all give a great shave when used correctly ie proper technique..

 

I give him props! Lol!

 

Thanks Danny. It's a 300 mile trip one-way. Depending when I leave, it could take 5 1/2 to 6 hrs in driving time. I am not a speed demon so I have to add at least another hour. Of course, I have to take stops along the way to eat, etc.

 

Thanks....yes I am but it needed some teeth and a new handle to try out.

Someone was nice enough to send me a Yates to try out that arrived today. Thanks Dave. I'll see what all of the fuss is about in a couple of days.

I really like the looks of the Yates...very different. It actually looks like something a Klingon would shave with. I know that is crazy but that is what popped into my head.

 

Not a bad drive....just take your time and enjoy it.

 

Since this is my first shave of the month I figured why not make a razor and put it to the test with 5 days growth.
Results were good as expected for the trial run and yes there was blood . First side of face went flawless but when I got to the other side I got bit twice . My best conclusion is that after the soap forced its way upwards and into the head part the blade became loose and the heel got me . The only thing holding the blade in is the force applied as the plastic stretches to accommodate the blade . I will work on this and add something to tighten the blade . Overall it was a typical El Scratcho Mayhem shave . Woooooooo!

 

What NO video ?!?!?! That looks pretty cool by the way Patrick !!!!!

 

It really isn't. I just have to take the Southern State to go past JFK into Brooklyn and take the Verrazano Bridge into Staten Island to get to New Jersey and take the NJ TPKE to the Delaware-Memorial Bridge and continue west. The NJ Tpke has a few rest stops along the way so I will break up the trip by stopping in one of them. They have food, drinks, snacks, etc. When I get near Baltimore I can either go through it and reach the Capital Beltway and go north or take 40 into US 70 into Fredrick. MD. I am not familiar with the latter route, but I like to a avoid the Beltway at all costs.

 

I'll do a video next time I use it. And Thanks

 

You should have been named Loco EL Scratcho! Lol!
