30 Day Rule/Focus; Feb 2023. All are welcome!

Excellent dual shave Barry.

 

Lol! Thanks Herm.

 

Super pic, lineup and shave Joe.

 

Thanks Joe. Looking forward to having them in my den.

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Warning-The Soap Exchange has joined with Bill Neumann in hiking prices for products. A $5 hike in soaps. Guess that's the way it is, these days. By the way, The Soap Exchange is not in any way associated with Bill Neumann. Maybe more companies are hiking prices(??).

This week, I will be shaving with just my Fatboy in keeping with the Fatboy February theme. I have shaved with this razor on setting 6 in the past so attacking my 1 day growth with it poses no problem for me.
Did a 2.5 pass shave without errors for a nice, comfortable BBS shave. Didn't get any feedback from the alum or aftershave. It definitely was a Super Shave. Take care.

 

I held off on my shave until before bed. I changed my sheets and will shower and shave before bed. I change bed sheets every 3-4 days. Nothing like sleeping on fresh bedding!

Vintage Gillete short comb

Classic setup Hogie.

 

Thank you, Joe.

 

Thank you Joe

 

Superb set up and shave Hogie.

 

Wonderful Fatboy shave. Now you just need pick up The MWF so you can have double the Fat shave.

 

Lol! Thanks Joe. Mitchell’s Wool Fat isn't in my sights.

 

Thanks Joe. It was a nice shave with no irritation. I find that if I want a really close shave, I do a 3-pass. WTG, ATG, and across the grain on my neck from ear to chin. My beard grows in 3 directions, I guess.
That short comb was really nice. I may do a repeat shave with it.

 

A fine overall shave this morning. Problems once again at S. Porcupine, in the form of a Knick and a Polka-Dot, but well done everywhere else. Razorock sure does produce great soaps, and the American Barber was the choice today. Pinaud Clubman A.S. is a nice match for this soap.. 2 passes. Tomorrow, I need to attack the Ingrown Swamp area-it's time I give it a go. Why can't ingrown hairs just kinda leave? They always hang around.. Pretty Outstanding today, which means I know I can do better tomorrow.

 

Mitchells Wool Fat is nice!

I am almost done with my first puck and will soon break out my second!

 

Today is a no-shave day for me. I got REALLY close last night with the Gillette short comb open comb. I think I will use it again for my next shave. I have one more shave with that Treet blade.
I am using most of the DE blades only twice since I have SO many of them. Feathers will go 4 or more.

I did a 3 pass shave because I made plenty of lather. Achieved a BBS shave without incidents. Alum was silent. Splashed on the AQ aftershave to end this great session. Take care.

 

Setup for tomorrow morning.
