June 2021 30-Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Thanks Joe.......some hot days ahead.

 

June 1

YAQI Katana SE head on Gillette handle
Feather (1)
30 Day Crew LE Poculi handle w/28 mm APShaveCo SynBad flat top knot
Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood shave cream
Alum, witch hazel, Stirling unscented body lotion, almond oil, Stirling BoS AS & Aramis



An early morning 2+ passer with some new gear made for a great start to the day. A shout out to @Hembree for the YAQI Katana SE head that he kindly PIF'd to me. I placed the Gillette NEW SC head I got from @jtspartan aside and decided to take care of business with the matching handle. This was my first shave with these new toys and my first non-cart shave in about three months.

The Katana is just a fun razor to use. The angle is easy to find, and I was rewarded with a near-BBS shave. A few minutes after my shave was complete, I noticed a few small red dots on my neck. I hope to dial it in over the next few shaves.

My LE brush made a fantastic TOBS lather. I had a time figuring out how to use synthetic brushes until Jason's two LE brushes's hit my den. If I add water slowly to the brush tips and take my time, the lather just explodes. I'll reach for my two LE brushes from Jason more often than just about any brush in my den.

Have a fantastic day, gentlemen.

Grace and Peace.

 

Great shave, Danny!

Thanks Andrew, glad it's behind me.

Thanks Blair !

 

That sounds great, Dave. Soap reduction, science, buy stuff, shenanigans, ice cream...you got all my favorite things covered. Enjoy your day, my friend!

 

A non-focus Focus....lots of us this month!

The Wolfman is a beautiful razor, Clint. You've tempted me with Godrej cream long enough. I plan to visit one of our local Indian grocery stores and pick some up after my NB.

Happy Tuesday!

 

Thanks Clint.

 

Happy Shaving Anniversary, Joe! Mad Max is one of the most beautiful straights I've ever seen. You really know how to put it through its paces. I just love those blue scales.

Have a good day, my friend.

 

Yes it is, Paul. I plan to take my Bride out for lunch a couple of times too.

 

Thanks Danny. It's sorta like the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. Remember when he got really famous and started having all those guest hosts?

Jerry Lewis
Don Rickles
Frank Sinatra
Rich Little
David Letterman
John Denver
Joan Rivers
Jay Leno
Steve Martin
Kermit the Frog

I am depending on you to tell me which guest host I resemble.

Bottom line, @Primotenore's shoes are too big for anyone to fill. Prayers for Joseph's Mom and him as he takes some time off to care for her.

 

Congrats, Danny, on your first self-honed straight razor shave. I'd definitely call it a success. If anyone can master honing, it will be you with your mechanical skills. I will be interested to see how this all plays out for you.

And the John Deere razor is purty!

 

Gentlemen, thanks for the kind words. It's an honor and blessing to be among friends.

good morning gents,happy June 1st..i am in for this month,hope everyone had fun with the adjustables and mayhem.my theme will be Jillette June....will post when i can .have a great day everyone..

 

Excellent, Charlie!

Each time I see that brush knot, I think about my elementary school Principal. He had white hair and a flat top haircut (and he was a stern disciplinarian). When he paddled you, he only hit one butt cheek, so it stung more. Don't ask me how I know...

 

Very nice Tobacco Tuesday setup and B&W photo, Jim!

 

Fantastic shave, Gary! I like the looks of that 4 piece Tech.
