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

Fine shaves, gents!

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Today is a non-shave day for me.

 

Same here. More to shave for tomorrow!

 

I see that even Geofatboy recommends switching hands in this manner so, I am working on it. I am right handed but, I didn't do bad using my left today. This type of razor felt easier to control than the japanese style but, I will continue to work with both. Maybe once I get better with the DX, I will give the clone Jeff sent me a try again. It's all about the angle. When it's correct, the razor glides nicely. I took more than twice as long this morning and it paid off. I got cheeks and neck exceptionally close with the DX. I finished with the Flatboy. It shaves close as well. I will do the complete shave next shave day with the Flatboy. If you like really feeling the blade, the Flatboy is worth looking at IMHO. YMMV.

 

Nothing like a great Genco shave! Enjoy your day!

 

I’m a retired engineer, so I know just enough to really break things!

 

Good shave, Paul!

 

Still say, despite the brassing, it’s a great-looking shave kit, Gary! Enjoy your day!

 

Thanks, Joe! Paid my toll to the shave gods this morning!

 

Thanks, Joe! Love my Copperhead! I’m sure you got a great edge! You’re using a Naniwa 12k and the 9 Ball, if my memory serves! If I got it wrong, no surprise! Both great finishers. My son has my 9 Ball! Bought the 20k awhile ago! It’s the only stone I don’t really have to strop afterwards! Shaved twice without stropping, although I prefer the edge the Constroption delivers after honing.

 

Your DX shaves almost exactly like a traditional straight! The only thing you’re missing is maintenance. If you want great open edge shaves without maintenance you’ve got the ideal tool!

 

Hey, Joe, every now and then it’s time to pay the toll to the shave gods!

 

Thanks, Daniel!

 

I was going to list all of my razors but, could not find where to create my list! So, I created a signature.

 

I created a list of razors. I have more than I thought!!!

 

Outstanding shave Gary.

 

An honourable shave Joe...Max is a shaving tool of extreme heft & beauty...Have a great weekend my friend.

 

Thanks Barry! Have a great weekend as well.

 

“JAWS” is finally in the house or should I say den.

Debut shave this Sunday as part of this month’s DE Weekend focus.
