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

Thanks Joe. Yes, it was a nice, down-to-earth event. It's a biker church. I know the pastor and although I am not a biker, I am accepted there. I guess my bald head and lack of dentition gives me the look. Lol! It was open to all bikers and not necessarily those that attend that church. Funny, toward the end of the evening, my former boss showed up. I haven't seen him in a few years. I worked for him when I drove a cab. It was nice to see him. Of course, he said I could work for him. Yeah, they are always looking for drivers. Take care.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Thank you, Joe.

Good afternoon.

Shavette Shave #417
Dovo
Personna Hairshaper Blade (18)
Heritage Collection C-Mon Replica Super HD Badger Brush
Arko SS
Old Spice AS
Beard Growth: 26 hrs



The C-Mon Brush produced a nice, slick lather. Arko is really easy to lather and that's one of the reasons why I like it. Did a 2 passer for a near BBS shave, but on my first pass, I nicked my left corner of my mouth. I knew it as soon as I felt it. The good thing was that it was very small and my alum closed it without a problem. It is barely noticeable.
Didn't get any alum feedback so I an happy with it. Splashed on the aftershave to end the session. I am at 18 shaves with this blade so I want to try for 20. I think that I have a good shot to make it. Take care.

 

Very nice shave and setup Gary.

 

fine arko shave Joe.back to those tomorrow..

 

thank you Joe.

 

So I decided to go pick up a new fragrance for the collection, I’ve noticed through the years the older I’ve gotten the more my fragrance taste has matured over time. Lately I’ve been enjoying the Tom Ford line and other niche brands. I’ve been enjoying Ombre leather a lot lately and have gotten a number of positive remarks from it from other people. My girlfriend honestly isn’t the biggest fan of ombre leather which I don’t really understand, it has a very nice Leather note backed up with some earthy, sweet Cardamon in the background with some amber notes in the background as well. Along with a little bit of floral notes in the opening. Today I picked up the Parfum. This one is a little bit lighter with more floral notes and is slightly less spicy compared to the edp which will be a lot more well rounded for all seasons. I did find however my girlfriend prefers the Parfum on me compared to the edp. For whatever reason the EDP burns her nose. My personal opinion I think she’s crazy but we won’t tell her that LOL.

Razor: Wade & Butcher No. 1 Hollow Ground
Brush: Sawdust Creation Studio Old Cahaba
Lather: Stirling Spice
Aftershave: B & M Reserve Spice
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Wonderful Stirling Spice shave this morning. I had a very comfortable three pass shave with the W & B No. 1 razor. I constantly marvel at the craftsmanship of the scales.

Post shave report was fabulous with a quiet alum, soothing balm and the refreshing scent of the B & M aftershave.

By the way, how about those Minnesota Vikings yesterday?

 

You’re becoming a budding Joe, @Primotenore. Very nice Myles.

 

Oh yeah he knows his stuff, probably better then me.
