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

similar to these? T1, T2, and T3

 

Right-o.

 

@Trigger, I patted down the remainder of my Central Texas Soaps' Down At The River", as it was getting pretty small along the perimeter. I recall you saying you do that too, when similar situations call for action.

 

Volvo is now owned by Geely in China.was owned by Ford also.it still retains it's headquarters and design in Sweden.Everyone owns everyone these days.,though Ford still remains owned by Ford.,unlike Chrysler and others..

 

i haven't personally tried the t series,but many past members here bought them ,said they were very nice,great value for $,but felt different to the chubby version.

 

One thing odd about the Trafalgar series is that they don't put what brush it is on the brush label. All 3 are exactly the same just different size knot and handle size. Labeling is the same on all three unlike my badger brushes. They are exceptionally soft tho. Softer than my badger. Soft yet good backbone.

 

i suspect they are part of the rebranded Vulfix line up,as they acquired the Simpson brush co. some time back.

 

This morning's shave.

 

Happy belated birthday!

 

Colibri (Hummingbird) Razor with 1.10mm base plate.
Astra SP blade.
Yaqi Silvertip brush.
Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite soap (original formula).
Timeless Razor shave bowl.
Irish Chestnut by Andy Hilfiger.

I had to lay the Ikons down for a while and brought out the Colibri. The Colibri is definitely one of my favorites in the den. Three very nice smooth passes this morning.

I hope everyone is doing great. Life has been real busy for me but I'm doing good and hanging in there.

Take care everyone!

 

It's cashing in on a known marketing strategy. Companies do it all the time.

 

We are civilized bunch so we generally scoop soap with some sort of implement instead of our fingers. Lol!

 

Yes, I do Paul. I go around the perimeter to loosen the soap and bring it all to the center shaped like a little hill. Afterwards, I press down and spread the soap out into a pancake. This makes loading the soap on the brush much more efficient.

 

Great pic and setup Ken! The lathercatcher looks great!

 

Thanks Danny! I feel great at 67!

Another wonderful MMOC & Darkfall shave. A fantastic way to start the week. The tub of soap will be meeting up with the Edmund Fitzgerald in the near future. Yes, this will be repurchased once if becomes available as a Fall seasonal release probably in late August on the Declaration Grooming website.

Three passes with a blade that does not seem to want to give up the ghost.. I am in double digits with this blade. The results are super smooth. I really can not tell the difference between this blade and a fresh one.

I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

Wonderful shave Tolga. Hope all is well.

 

Classic

 

Awesome shave Danny! I know you have been busy and that's a good thing. I appreciate when you can post. I know you are still with us in spirit. Thanks again for the birthday wishes. Have great week my friend.

 

Now Paul……….I mean a very nice shave Joe.
