June 2021 30-Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Fine, fine shave Blair. Enjoy your weekend.

 

What a stunning combo, Gary. Is that Sheraton replated?

 

Mecca. Swmbo has a full bag as well. Nice work.

 

Wizamets? As you are asking, I pitch them after 4-5 shaves. Same as the Polsilvers that followed them.

 

Ditto.

 

This is true. I can put stuff in the Dopp bag I cannot put in the mail.
Although, both Florida Water and Clubman came to me via mail from the US of A. The Pinaud shipment might be responsible for this process now being illegal…

 

Congrats, Joe! Yes, I imagine Sept will feel very weird indeed.
PS- you chose wisely on the ‘21 LE…the red rocks.

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave..

I love the simple Gillette tech design they are such mild smooth efficient shavers especially the earlier models it would be hard for me to choose a favourite because each one that i own is a joy to shave with...However, i find the 40's & 50's models are slightly more assertive with the right blade choice.

An enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups comfortable silky smooth shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Nivea Men Sensitive Cooling PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

 

Another drive by posting, all is well here just keeping busy. Last week we took 2 days and one night in the mountains east of Seoul. One of our stops was at the Garden of Morning Calm, a huge garden that was developed by a Korean horticulturist. They were having their 1,000,000 flower festival.



Sunday shave: A grinning 7/8 Herr Razor, Whipped Dog silver tip and Sterling Evergeen Forst with some added menthol for a cool shave on a hot summer day.

 

Nice Bush Hogging, nice shave and lousy pass around organizing

So it was decided I didn't feel like chasing the pieces of Baron's Choice around the bowl. Called it done and have free shaves till July when I will start the next 1508.5 for this year. 3 soaps down so far for this year. SV 70th is just an intoxicating scent and my face always feels so fresh and alive after using it. Another shave with the Blackbird Ti before trying other new to the den hardware. Couldn't decide which pic to use so included both. Feel free to vote on which a should have used. Have a great day folks !!

 

Thank you Joe...The humble Williams is always a pleasure to shave with.

 

Thanks Joe....even if it throws off the rest of the shave.

 

No....it'll be closed for good as of June 30. Another company made an order Gold's couldn't refuse. Don't know the name, or the type of company. I'll have to find a new gym, but I have one in mind.

HOG THAT BUSH....TOTE DAT BALE.....AAAAAAAAAAAAND SWING IT!!!

from Curly Howard(I don't know what year). Actually, he didn't say the first part lol.

Much better shave today. 0:50 at the loading dock with the Stoylin(li'l brudder). One Knick at NW Porcupine Alley. No other problems. Two passes. Interestingly, I got more liquid than for the first(showed up on the right cheek). I'm back with my "ice-chipping" routine at the jawbone. This comes after going across the grain there. I opened up my newly-purchased Skin Bracer. Nice and cold feel. Not as cold as Aqua Velva but niiice. Super Duper Excellent.

 

June Focus

AoS Peppermint~~Simpson PL8~~Barbasol Floating Head/Gillette Spoiler~~Arabian Oud Kashmir
Couldn't resist picking up a tub of the AoS Peppermint Cream.
This stuff not only smell great, but is a fantastic product and I got it at a ridiculously low price.
The PL8 is not the largest knot in my den, but it has the most massive handle.
I used to have a PL10, which now finds itself in South Korea, but that handle was too large for my liking.
This Super Badger hair had no issues whipping the already-soft cream (this is a real cream, not croap)
into a luxurious lather. Interestingly, the cream will take a good deal of H2O.

I spoiled myself with a fresh Gillette Spoiler, inserted in my Barbasol FH razor.
Beefy is an appropriate description of this razor. You could also say hefty.
It'll bite you if your not vigilant and I got bit on the ATG neck-pass. Nothing for 911,
but a subtile reminder to keep the touch light and watch the angle.
Very fine results and I cleaned up with some Thayer's Witch Hazel and their ASB,
which I discovered at Meijer the other day. Nice product.
Today's fragrance is one of my favorites and is, for lack of a better word, stunning.










Side Note: This bottle has THE best atomizer. Amazing.
The scent starts out fruity (Yuzu) and shortly thereafter, reveals a sublime
combination of Oud and Jasmine. The rose accord is present, but not overwhelming.
Later on, I can expect the musk to dominate.​

 

I just placed an order at The Perfume Spot for a 2.8 oz Pierre(Pete)Cardin cologne. Right, 2.8 SOUNDS small, but for cologne sprays it really isn't.

 

Terrific shave, post, pics and setup Barry! Enjoy the rest of your day!
