December 2021 30 Day Rule/Focus and Discussion. All Are Welcome!

A very nice shave on the big island, Joe!

Take care.

 

Thanks Joe...a little scratch is to be expected at times.

 

All I did was lightly peck myself with the blade on my FB

Alum block did the trick for the most part. Just a little scab.

Very nice shave and gear, Jeff.

 

You are quite welcome Eric. That's what we do in this forum and that is tontry to share our experiences to help other shavers. I was going to mention Gillette 7 o'clock and the Astra Green blades. I have tried the Astra Bues, but they are a little harsh to me, but I have read that the Astra Greens are so much better. Looking forward to more of your posts . Take care.

 

Great summary and gear!

 

Thank you my friend. I really appreciate you..

 

It had to be a new blade. You probably landed lopsided and that's a no-no. What was the setting on the FB? If it was higher than a 6 then maybe you should lower it and do more buffing to get to military standard.

 

Thanks Myles. We're doing great. Merry Christmas, and thanks again for honorably and bravely serving our Country.

 

I just want to throw out this question. Do you set up your razor, soap, brush and postshave items the day before or on the day of your shave?
I usually set it up the night before and I also take the pic at that time also.

 

Idk with my hormonal changes just from aging I’m having to shave every day now consecutively. Honestly I had it on setting 6. It gives me a nice close shave. But the only problem is I gotta whatch how I angle that blade with a new blade.

I am not consistent about when I shave so I tend to go with what feels right at the time. There are days where I have something lined up because I have something new to try or I've read something that influences what kind of shave I'd like.

 

December Focus Shave #7

Razor: Muhle Rocca
Blade: Rapira Lux
Brush: Omega 10077
Soap: Stirling Soap Co. Barbershop
AS: Skin Bracer



Nothing makes me smell like I just walked out of Pete's Barbershop in 1975 like this classic. Even has the faint hint of cigarrette smoke. Why do I have a sudden urge for an Orange Tootsie Pop?

After using the 3one6 last night, I had to use the razor it is often compared to, the Muhle Rocca. The Rocca is indeed a smooth and efficient shaver, with more weight and heft in the head than the 3one6. Although both are excellent razors, my personal preference goes to the 3one6. The Rocca has a little more smoothness, but the 3one6 is a bit lighter, more nimble, has a touch more efficiency, and all around more elegant.

 

Well it is part of the learning process of shaving. I have 50.yrs of shaving experience and I am still learning. Thank goodness you didn't need stitches.

 

That is fine. Sometimes I plan a few days in advance because of a social engagement.
