30 Day Rule/Focus; August 2022

I'll be doing it this fall.

 

We shall see what we shall see.

 

Not unlike Jeff from Montreal.

 

Aug 25 SOTD

Good afternoon.

Shavette Shave # 389
Parker SRB
Gillette Winner 1/2 DE Blade (2)
JR #290 Cashmere Brush
Arko SS
Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
Maggard's Alum Block
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 28.5 hrs



I picked out Arko today because I haven't used it in awhile and quite honestly it's slicker than most soaps and so easy to lather. I made the lather wetter than usual, but this soap can handle it.
Did a 2 pass shave without pickups for a nice, smooth and comfortable shave, but did get a weep on my neck. Styptic took care of it. I didn't get hardly any alum feedback. Finished with my usual postshave finish. I just love the Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave. I have the option of shaving tomorrow evening or Saturday morning. I probably will shave tomorrow night and let Saturday be my no shave day. Have a great rest of the day.

 

That is a fine classic shave Gary! Enjoy your afternoon!

 

.

 

thank you Joe,you as well.

 

up for tomorrow..

 

Lovely setup Gary.

 

thank you Joe.figured i 'd better get an adjustable shave in for August..

 

I always said you were a team player.

 

I went for my ride to the Italian restaurant since it was such a nice day and tomorrow will be crappy. I never got there...one of the belt tensioners broke off and allowed the wheel to cock and the belt jumped off the drive pulley. It got chewed up in the process. I am lucky the wheel did not lock up. I was rolling at 50-55mph. I called a friend and got it trailered home. When I got it home, I started tearing it apart and discovered that the axle nut had loosened. I did not get it tight enuff! I have worked on my bikes since I was 20 and never had this happen! The nut cannot come off due to a clip at the end of the axle threads. But, it can allow the axle to move under torque. The loose nut allowed the axle to move and it hammered on that adjuster til it broke! I had the bike on a jack so, I must have forgotten to give the nut an extra twist once it was on the floor. I couldn't while it was on lift or the bike could fall off (cheep jack)

$300 later.....I have to wait 10 days for parts! Drive belt is pricey! It's also a pain in the butt to remove!

Bike on the lift now. I would LOVE to have a lift table but.....PRICEY!

 

Glad to see all is well James. The Turkish shave sounds really nice.

 

Very fortunate Hogie. Raspberries at 50 mph would not have been pretty. Glad you were able to come to a stop safely.

I guess you will have to hop in the 4 wheeler to get to your Italian restaurant.

 

Fabulous shave Danny. I like the color of that brush.

 

It is for this very reason I always wear my leathers. The jacket has vents so it is not too hot until I get stopped in traffic at a light or road construction. I wear chaps this time of year and when it's cold I wear leather pants. I shudder when I see someone riding with cutoffs, t shirt and flip flops!

 

Super 27 Duper Paul.

 

Aaaaaaaahhhh didja HAVE TA say it that wayyyy????

 

Excellent shave Hogie. I am looking forward to the Micromatic shave tomorrow. Is it the MMOC or the MMBT?

 

Those folk just think they are Macho.
