30 Day Rule/Focus; Jan 2023. All are Welcome!

Thanks Gary.

 

No shave today figured I’d post the fragrance of the day though. This one has been rumored to be discontinued which is a huge disappointment so I rarely ever break this one out. I absolutely love this Armani Code Flanker. This has been In my collection for a while, hardly put a dent into it. I was back home last weekend looking at the fragrance selection at Ulta while my girlfriend was looking at the girly products. I stumbled across two bottles of Armani Code Profumo, which has been discontinued for probably a year now if not longer. Pretty sure that particular ulta store found some old stock probably lost in the back of the store, of these bottles and was selling them for their original price before Armani decided to discontinue it. Now that I think about it I Wish I had gotten a bottle of it, now a days online you’ll pay triple the price on eBay for a bottle of Profumo. I never owned Profumo before but I’ve sampled it in the past and loved it.

Good afternoon.

Shavette Shave #425
Parker SRB
Gillette Winner 1/2 DE Blade (2nd use)
Hembree/Maggard Timberwolf Brush
Stirling Executive Man SS
Old Spice AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 23 hrs



I usually wait at least 24 hrs, but I just wanted to shave regardless of the window.
I decided to use my Parker shavette once again, but I did change the rest of the setup.
The brush has soft bristles that just feels great while facelathering. It also makes a nice lather as well, but let's be real; Stirling makes a great lather regardless of the brush utilized.
Did a 2 pass plus pickups for a nice, comfortable and error-free BBS shave. The alum gave very little feedback. I could have used the Fine Platinum aftershave, but I went with Old Spice. I splashed on the Old Spice and I was happy with this session. Hope everyone is well. Take care.

 

Shavette Shave # 188 - “First” Razor Shave - Shavette - Ren Ren

Rating: 5 / 5
Razor: RenRen Shavette
Blade: Perma-Sharp
Brush: Epsilon Horse Hair
Lather: Pre de Provence No. 63
Aftershave: Pre de Provence No. 63 Aftershave Balm
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Pre de Provence No. 63 EdT

Wonderful Pre de Provence No. 63 shave this morning. I guess I should use this more often as I now have a replace tub courtesy of my daughter as a Christmas gift. Three passes, error free, with the Ren Ren Shavette have left my face ultra smooth. I finished everything off with the No. 63 EdT. Such a wonderful scent which is still omnipresent 10 hours post shave.

Have a great evening gentlemen.

 

Just as I suspected fro
Previous posts, a budding @Primotenore.

 

Gotta love the Pre De Prevence 63 Joe! I had no idea they had balm !

 

Fabulous shave Joe

 

Thank you Herm, the entire line is quality.

 

Wonderful setup and shave Joe. It's rare that the two of us posted our shaves using a shavette on the same day. As a matter of fact, we are the first two posts that were shave sessions.

 

January 6

1966 Gillette Travel Tech
Gillette Silver Blue DE blade (1)
30 Day Crew LE Poculi handle w/28 mm APShaveCo SynBad flat top knot
Arko
Alum, witch hazel, USB, Fine Executive Man aftershave, and Aramis

30 days on this stick of Arko, with ~60 more to go. I hope you all are having a great month of smooth shaves!

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Thank you Joe. It was a great Shavette shave.

 

Fabulous Arko shave . Happy New Year to you and the missus

 

Nice pick and setup Charlie. I think you can get more than 60 shaves with what's left of your Arko stick. Happy New Year to you and Kathy!

 

Thank you, Joe! Happy New Year!!

 

Thanks Joe. The stick weighs 49 g vs. an initial weight of 73.5 g. I've used about a third of it so far on shaves and occasional face washes. I figure 60 more shaves if I continue loading heavier than normal.

@Primotenore just consumed a stick of Arko in 30ish shaves. This will officially go down as a world record in the Shaving Hall of Fame. In addition to shaving with it, I suspect he fed it to the dog and used it to wash the car.

I hope you are doing well, Joe!

 

fine friday shaves and pics gents.

 

Thanks Charlie. I am doing well. Deep-sixing an Arko stick in 30 shaves is extraordinary! That's incredible!

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Thank you Gary
