March 2022 30 Day Rule/Focus and Discussion. All Are Welcome!

Thanks Gary!

 

for the morning..

​

 

Joe.

 

Terrific setup Gary!

 

Gillette New Deluxe (17mm).
Homelike Shaving Voevoda stainless steel handle.
Feather blade (4).
Yaqi silvertip brush.
Lakewood Soap Company Smoky Mountain Rain shave soap (sample).
Timeless shave bowl.
Cremo Bourbon and Oak EdT.

Today is the one month anniversary! It was one month ago today that I adopted the New Deluxe from an antique store in Sweetwater, Tennessee. The New Deluxe has made an excellent addition to the den and is a sweet shaver. Three nice passes this morning. I'm still amazed at how well a 90 year old razor shaves. Gillette had this thing figured out years ago.

Take care everyone!

 

Terrific shave Danny! I am amazed how my vintage shavers provide great shaves too. Have a super day!

 

Today's shave: Castle Forbes Lavender shave cream, Proraso pre-shave cream with aloe & vitamin E, Whipped in my lather bowl with a Classic Shaving synthetic brush (very nice brush). Razor is my 1956 Gillette Super Speed Flaretip with a Shark blade followed with Proraso aftershave balm. Warm shave cream and cold razor rinse.

good morning gents.
swapped out my recent fb tech for the just received early fb variant.
appears to have more blade gap/exposer and more prominent grooving on the safety bars than the others.
was smooth on both passes and a tad more efficient imo.
fine simpson lather as always,built with the mighty mini simpon badger.
birch sap a/s seals the deal.
awesome

full work shift today then 2 days of r and r.
plus some fragrant shaves..
have a fine humpday everyone

fine flaretip shave and pic.i should use my lavender CF more often.nice stuff.i usually pair it with Speick aftershave

 

awesome deluxe shave Danny.looks cool with the homelike handle...the deluxe has been the base for numerous modern copies..with good reason..

 

Wound down with Barbasol for the shave, but switched to an A.S. I hadn't used in a real long time:

A.S.-Agua Lavenda de Puig.

This was part of @Primotenore 's generous PIF(I should say IS, not was, as there's still some left). Frank Sinatra loved this, in fact the story goes that he even inserted a discount on his web page for purchasing this. I haven't seen it so it may be just that-a story. Anyway-good shave again. No Cuts,Knicks, or Polkadots-that's a good sign. I left some Astroturf on N.Porcupine Alley(right side). I'll fix that tomorrow. I didn't get Cactus Nation(the neck) the way I wanted it, especially up North by the jawline. Another focus for tomorrow. All else went good enough. Back to soaps tomorrow, but for today-Most Excellent.

 

fine shave Paul.

 

Thanks-my disposeABLE was on its 3rd shave-need more today, as it was my last one from the previous bag.

 

Reminds me to get out my Simpson's in the near future.

 

thank's Paul.nice stuff.very slick..

 

Someone PIFed it to me so I got lucky. Pretty expensive, isn't it?

 

Vintage ain't bad.

 

very cool.not really.a little builds a lot of lather.6 oz for around $20 depending where you buy it.
