30 Day Rule/Focus; Sept 2022

Say hello to Mustafa.

 

Thanks Joe. As far as Paul completing the challenge, we shall see, but I do believe in miracles.

 

Thanks David. Max is my superstar in my collection and is my favorite straight razor. It is a custom razor by well known razor maker Max Sprecher. The scales are made of abalone and sealed with polyurethane or similar material.

 

I'll have to crank up that advice....hopefully for good. Thanks.

 

About C-Mons....soon after I became a member(2015), I kept reading about Mongoose razors. Name sounds funny, but it must be a great razor.

 

The Mongoose is an SE razor that is no longer made. C-Mons is the shortened form of the name Carl Monkhouse.

 

No wonder I don't hear about Mongeese any more.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

I am changing my setup photos to where there will be no clutter in the photo. Up for tomorrow. It is entirely possible I will exchange the razor for a Micromatic tho....have not decided yet...

 

Menthol Monday at its best!

 

I have seen these and wonder, what are they like to shave with? I seem to be caught up in collecting variations on the SE razor. I think Jeff has one and has posted for one of his shaves. I don't know anything about them. I have not bought but, I am curious.

Enders

 

Guess which day tomorrow is?

 

I pick up one earlier this year. It is a fantastic razor. Here is a picture of one of my shave set up with the Enders Speed Razor.

The blades that I use with it are the Schick Proline B-20. Additionally, I had to pick up an adapter which is magnetic from Hendricks which holds the blade in place.

Glad the Parker SRX arrived arrived safely and good to see your first outing with it went well. It is a solid, well-built piece of kit. Just not one I used much. I found I could shave with it or with a straight razor, but I didn't enjoy doing so, so what's the point? I will leave that for the people who do enjoy it and stick with my injectors and the occasional DE for variety.

 

Gotta go with the MMBT or MMOC as it is Micromatic Monday.

 

Add the Micromatic and your golden.

 

They are supposed to be fine razors, but you need an adapter to secure the blade.

 

That's a possibility, but I am not planning on shaving until tomorrow night. I just may make it a Micromatic Menthol Monday. I may use Cryogen once again or the TSD Menthol Bomb in another soap. However, it's not written in stone because I could do an entirely different setup altogether.

 

I suppose my Menthol Monday offering will be the Mentha-Scrub body wash in the shower(from Stoylin).
