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

Great shave, Jeff!

Let's hope that you will get to drive your TR6 sooner, and that there would be no more unpleasant surprises with the project.

 

Nice shave! I really like the Nivea after shave balm. I need to get more of that. I am down to the bottom of the bottle now.

 

Real nice, sophisticated goo shave. I might have done a little better at N.Porcupine Alley, but it was OK. I'll do better tomorrow. No trouble anywhere else. No cuts, New Yorkers, or Polka dots. The aftershave(Agua Lavenda de Puig)is getting low. Nice scent. Finished with Mutamayez(Swiss Arabian)again. Outta This World Excellent

Another phenomenal Declaration Grooming shave this morning. I just love this soap, toner and EdT. This scent features “tobacco, leather, rose, clove, nutmeg, sandalwood, vetiver, vanilla, musk, bergamot, and amber.”

The Kamosori, artfully crafted by Andrey Shpakovskiy, is a beautiful razor. With each shave, I am beginning to get it dialed in and reaping the benefit of a super shave. My face is smooth and irritation free following my customary three passes. The alum report was almost nonexistent.

I will be smelling good throughout the day as the EdT scent will linger for hours. Most likely I may still get a whiff upon rising tomorrow morning.

I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

Superb Paul.

 

Thank you Joe...I was hedging on the grade, but decided to be nice to myself and go with #1. I figured N. Porcupine was good enough.

 

GORGEOUS Razor!

 

Absolutely phenomenal shave Barry.

 

Another great shave kit, photo and commentary! Belated congrats on the new CT, Barry. Can’t beat a Merkur Shave! Enjoy your day!

 

Wonderful shave today Jeff. I notice the pool is open, when is the BBQ?
Regarding the car parts, it seems it is another way to extract you hard earned dollars, no matter how inexpensive the kit may be.

 

Fantastic shaves, gents!

 

Thank you Hogie.

 

Wow! It’ slowly moving into the high 60’s here in Philly. It’s been unseasonably cool this year!

 

Thank you Daniel.

 

Thanks, Joe! Once the hydraulic clutch kit arrives today I should be good.
Three stinkin’ parts that used to be included. I won’t even mention what they charged! Lucky me!

 

. That’s my hope. I bought this new little Escooter to ride over to my son’s today. My daughter-in-law in cahoots with SWMBO locked me out of the garage until my son and grandson return from work! I decided to help myself to my son’s 25 yr old Macallan while I wait! He also has some nice Pappy and Blanton’s sitting around. He’ll learn it’s not nice to mess with Father’s nature! I tried to explain to the daughter-in-law that I wouldn’t be heftin’ and totin’, but she wasn’t having it! There’s definitely a female conspiracy to infantilize men as they age! Dang women!

 

Another awesome OTWE shave, Paul!

 

Thank you Jeff

 

There used to be a bunch of smaller British part mfrs but this one big outfit bought them all out, and the greedy little MBA’s running the show figured out how to reorganize the inventory to leverage the most they can get out of us! We all used to be British sports car enthusiasts, both buyers and sellers! Now it’s just accountants and chumps who used to be customers! Do I sound bitter? The barbecue goes all year long!

Sweet three passer this morning.

Take care everyone!
