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

Terrific TI Tuesday shave , Joe! Congrats on that beautiful brush!

 

Boy, my creative riddles are not working. Seaman Apprentice is E-2 rank in the Navy. The razor is E-2

 

Ty Joe.

 

Ohhhhh Oz never did give nuthin TO the Fan Man. That he didn't...(I should stop lol)

 

great brush...The Coloradans know how to design brushes, in addition to razors.

 

Very good shave this morning. 0:40 for the first pass loading, followed by 0:20 for the second. I was surprised to load so much for the second, but it told me I cranked out a lot of soap for the first. Nice sweeping motions both passes. No cuts/Knicks. Went good and slow up the sides of North Porcupine Alley. That nice CHILLED feeling of Glacial Electric Sheep! Cactus looks and feels great. Put out a little extra Agua Lavenda de Puig(aftershave). Frank Sinatra and I agree-great scent. (Course Frank never knew me). OUTTA THIS WORLD EXCELLENT.

Sorry, I guess I cut off space from others. Don't know what I did, but..I did it.

 

Nice shave, Paul!

 

Thanks Joe...I apologize for the appearance of my post...you just never know what happens on a computer when you hit the wrong thing.

Good morning!

Shavette Shave #296
Parker SRB
Rockwell 1/2 DE (3)
Semogue OC Super Badger
Proraso Green SS and AS
Maggard's Alum Block
Dickinson's WH
Whiskers: 37 hrs



I decided to go with the Proraso this morning for a mild menthol shave. I heavy-loaded my brush for a great, creamy lather. My first pass is always with the grain. I could have called the shave finished, but I always do a second pass that is against the grain. Had to do some light pickups on my neck, but man oh man, what a great BBS shave! Proraso may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I have never had a bad shave with it.
I hardly got any zings from the alum treatment so it tells me that I really got a nice, close, comfortable shave. Did the witch hazel treatment and I followed with the Proraso aftershave. My skin is radiant and I feel refreshed. Have a good day!

 

Adjustable August

AoS Oud~~Simpson 57 "Douglas"~~1908 Gillette/Platinum~~Cambodiya Oud Oil
This is legit: By shimming the blade, I "adjusted" the gap. Yessiree Bob.
That's EXACTLY what I did.
Full disclosure: I have done this many times in the past with this razor.
I keep a shim in its storage case.
Almond-size finger-full of the AoS shaving cream was directly applied
to the beard area. Face is oh-so slightly damp.
Douglas worked his Super-Badger magic and transformed a sticky, pasty goo,
into a slick 'n shiny lathericious layer of goodness.

Doing a complete 180˚ switch-up from yesterday's beefy Game Changer,
the Gillette Single Ring is ultra-light, whispy, nimble.
Focus is on NOT applying pressure, as this razor will mos def© tear your face up.
My face was spared any and all injustices and the results were more than lovely.

Received my very first "100%" oud oil in yesterday's mail.

Application, according to tradition, is to first apply a line of the oil to the back of your right hand;
then dab behind each ear; then to the inside of both wrists.
Gently massage the oil into the skin and apply residual on fingers to clothing.​

 

Great shave, Joe. I am a fan of Proraso green in the tube. Travels well, too.

 

Wonderful shave, pic and lineup, Joseph. You really have upped your game as a Fragmeister.

 

Thanks Joseph.

Awesome second run with the Monsieur Charles. Two full passes and three on the neck. The Monsieur is a very nice shavette.

I hope everyone is having a great day!

 

Wonderful Wed. shave Danny. The MC shavette looks real nice.

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: C V Heljestrand 14. 7/8” Camel Bone Scales
Brush: Jayaruh 381 Badger/Boar
Lather: PAA Atomic Pumpkin Bay Rum
Aftershave: PAA Atomic Pumpkin Bay Rum
Osage Rub
Additional Care:
Thayer’s Witch Hazel - Original
Nivea Cool Balm
Stirling Alum Block
Another triple H day. I had a great three pass shave with the CV H razor. The Jayaruh Badger/Boar brush whipped up a huge amount of super slick lather. My usual three passes for an excellent end result. I did get one weeper one on the upper left sideburn area which the witch Hazel and alum made fast work of.

Hope you are having a great day gentlemen.

 

Excellent shave Danny.

 

thank you Joe

It is not you Joe. I was unaware of the Seaman Apprentice ranking.
