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

Thanks Gary! The recommendations came from youtubers that usually are spot on target. They were not right about the frag, but were with the lather.

 

Thanks Jeff! I just want to extinguish the soap asap.

 

Great shave, even if the soap and AS are disappointing.

 

Thanks Daniel.

 

Thank you Joe. About Medicare, I will get a call from SSA on May 23 to presumably register me. I had been going crazy waiting to get through to them. Finally I succeeded. .Seems they're busy with "clients" like me. I'll definitely look into the razor bump persuasion.

 

well that's good at least..the frag is the icing..but the cake is most important..

 

Very nice!

 

Fabulous Frankensoap shave Gary.

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

I didn't have to register. They sent me the card automatically.

 

SOTD Sunday might have to splurge a little on one of my shaves for my birthday this month. Can’t believe I’ll be 20 started here on the shave den at 17

I was one of the unlucky ones.

 

Great shave, Myles!

 

Great Fatboy shave, Myles! Has it been three years? Wow! I do remember you being in High School when you started posting! You’ll see that time goes faster and faster as you age! Enjoy your Sunday!

 

A bit of offtopic, but I actually saw McCartney perform in Helsinki 2011.
Out of curiosity, I had to look up if anyone had uploaded videos, and found this among others

And yes, the bang at the end was loud.

When I'm done with this current Dorco blade, I will use a Derby Extra as a sort of palate cleanser, as I'm already familiar with them. After that, I think I'm going to try a Treet, probably a 7days. It will be interesting to see if I can get a weeks worth of shaves with it!

 

Fabulous introductory post for this month’s 30DC Joe, @Trigger. Thank you for shout the out as well.
I have been bouncing around my plan for the month in my head for the past several days. My ideas have been extremely fluid. There will be one constant in relation to the past 6 months.
1. Every Monday will remain MICROMATIC-DARKFALL MONDAY.
The remaining shaves will be as follows:
Weekdays - Straight razors
Weekends - DE’s in honor of our DE aficionado, Gary, @brit. His knowledge and willingness to share the history of his various DE’s are greatly appreciated.

As for the software, I plan on using a brand of soap a week during the weekdays.
Week 1 - May 2 - 6 - Declaration Grooming
Week 2 - May 10 - 13 - Stirling
Week 3 - May 17 - 20 - Lakewood Soap Co
Week 4. - May 23 - 27 - PAA

Weekends - 1508.5 Project - Ginger’s Garden Snow Bliss


SRS #580 -Barbershop SOTD

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Martens HDW Co. 11/16” Kingwood scales
Brush: Big Cyprass 24mm Silver Tip
Lather: WTF Vintage Barbershop
Aftershave: WTF Vintage Barbershop
Additional Care:
Stirling Alum Block
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm
Thayer’s Witch Hazel - Original

The software selection for today’s shave should have been used yesterday as part of the Barbershop Day shave in a FB group that I belong to. Unfortunately, I got my days mixed up.

I do enjoy both the scent and lather of the WTF Vintage Barbershop. A small pea size scoop of the soap, approximately one gram, produce enough later for 4 - 5 passes. I know this because in my standard three pass shave, I lather my face 4 times. Three for the pass and one post shave to condition the face a little while I clean up my razor and brush. I still had enough for another pass left in the bowl.

The Martens HDW razor deliver an extremely close shave. My face felt smooth and refreshed with a minimal alum report.

I hope we all have great shave this month. It doesn’t matter whether they are OTWE, SDE or JE to use Paul’s coding, @Paul Turner . Let’s enjoy each other’s presentations.
Speaking of Paul, tick tock on the SOTD picture.

Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.
