30 Day Rule/Focus; Oct 2022. All are Welcome!

I thought by now Clubman would have sent me a tracking info thingy, but perhaps they're busy with orders. They already "thanked me" for my order.

 

You have some really nice straights, Joe. I am tempted to pull out my Kamasori or the Feather DX. It's been a while.

 

Thanks Hogie. This month is my 4th year anniversary shaving with straights and that's only true if you consider shavettes as straight razors. During my first 2 yrs, I acquired all of my straights except my 13/8 Art Razor and I purchased that razor the following year (May 2021). I really am satisfied with my collection of new and vintage straights. The only straight that I would want is a 6/8 Filarmonica Novodur and that's not happening because the asking prices are ridiculous. I may decide to get another Max Sprecher, but that might be a long time coming. Lol!

 

I got the grass mowed so, I hadta take the bike out. Pizza time! Excellent day and ride! I even got my "Reserved" parking spot!
I had to wear my high top tennis shoes cause I could not get my wrapped foot into my boots! Still VERY nice ride. 80 miles!

 

Hope you had an extra slice.

 

two slices filled me up! Two slices go off the edges of the dinner plate. And this time, she brought out a dish of chilled parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top! Excellent!
Thin crust pizza. I would have the clam linguini but, there is always leftover and that is impossible to get home without it getting all over the saddlebags. LOL
I did get a half dozen garlic knots to go tho!

 

you need a side gig,you've got land..could a bit of hobby farming help with tax write offs?

 

awesome shaves and pics gents.

 

Too much work! I see it as free firewood! I have 20 acres and only cleared about one acre for the house. ALL paid for...just the taxes every year!

it's a beauty.storybook...was thinking a few chickens,free eggs,sell a few.to your friends.

 

up for tomorrow..

 

I would have a hard time raising chickens here....too many things that would kill and eat them! Unless I were to get a dog (another can of worms to open!) and maybe even run the risk of the things eating the dog too!
Wild country here! It's a wonder the wild turkeys are thriving.

 

fair enough.just a thought..a still maybe..

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Awesome shave and setup Gary.

 

thank you Joe..nice leisurely shave..

Wonderful Lakewood Soap Company shave this morning. I decided to pick up the Declaration Grooming La Petite Prarie aftershave to pair with the Prarie Song soap and balm.
The decent profile of the soap is as follows: “Fresh, warm notes of tobacco and old leather, herbaceous sage, crisp lemongrass, and darker undertones of patchouli, vetiver and whiskey make this scent unique.”
The DG/CL aftershave collaboration scent is as follows: “This has a timeless composition of tea-like citrus, springtime florals, well-behaved herbal notes and vetiver from Haiti and Java. It is perfect for any occasion in any era.”

Both of these product paired extremely well with each other. The Martens straight razor easily removed this morning gs growth. No issues today as my face felt smooth and irritation free.

Hope you all had a great day gentlemen.

 

Wow that brush just pos right out of the picture. Great shave Danny.

 

Sound good to me. OMAD (One Meal a Day), a version of intermittent fasting is my predominantly approach to food. When I have it dialed in eating strictly carnivore the weight tends to just fall off of me while still putting on some muscle. I need to be more consistent with it.
As long as you blood work up come back fine I would not worry about the weight loss. I am sure once the winter settles in the the Catskills you and Theo can hunker done and knobs on some very rewarding snacks.
