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

Excellent shaves, gents!

 

The bride and I are spending tomorrow celebrating Orthodox Easter with Serbian friends! We do this every year. Resurrection squared!

 

Lovely, R41 shave, Barry! They are great razors! I have the 2011 model, and enjoy using it as well, Great shave! Nothing better than the R41 with a Feather! Glad it went well! I noticed yo still have the original handle. I swapped mine out for a Weber Bulldog handle. Like the balance and grip much more. Found the original slippery with certain very slick soaps. Enjoy your Saturday.

 

Thanks, Daniel.

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

You Long Island guys really like to count! Is it something about LI, your shared first name or perhaps your shared professions?? Great shave, since I used to count for a living I have no interest in doing so anymore!

 

Thanks, Joe! No info yet: I’m hoping sometime next week!

 

Sorry about your family's misfortune. I rarely go to Manhattan, unless it's my birthday or some other reason. I will eventually make the trip to Pasteur's Pharmacy.

 

Terrific shave and pic. Have a great day Daniel.

 

Great Red themed shave, Danny! Love that razor cap design! Enjoy the show!

 

You are double-dipping my friend! Have a great time!

 

If you guys decide to make a trip to Pasteur’s, let me know! We could do a meet up. I’ll contact Bill to see if he’s interested.

 

thank you Daniel.

good morning gents
absolutely fabulous 2 pass shave on the second round with this set up
the brit red tip is awesome with the green blade.ultra smooth.
leaves nothing behind..
took my time as we all know what red tips are capable of..
it's bare brass corners and half painted knob give it a bit of character but no shave issues.
this ones a keeper..
fine bignoli lather built again with the semogue boar.
touch of warmth with the fine splash.
awesome

have a great weekend everyone.

Thank you, gentlemen!

 

Fine red tip shave, Gary!

Good morning!



Straight Shave #360
7/8 Henckels Friodur
Stirling Boar Brush
Razorock Classic SS
Old Spice AS
Maggard's Alum Block
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 47 hrs

It's a nice day on LI so I decided to use a nice shave setup. I kept the brush soaking overnight so I didn't have to wait to use it. The Stirling Boar whipped up a great lather. My only problem with this brush is that it sheds. I must have lost about 40 bristles since I have had it for about 2.5 years.
Anyway, I love the Friodur because it really gives a fantastic shave. It's my 17th shave since I honed it and it is still quite sharp. I only needed 2 passes to give my a very nice shave. I am happy to report that I didn't make any blood escaping my face and neck. There was some alum singing on my neck, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Gave myself the witch hazel treatment and followed with the Old Spice. What a super session this morning! Have a super day guys!
