30 Day Rule/Focus; April 2023. All Are Welcome!

Fine shave, setup and post Danny! Have a terrific day!

 

Closed out(for now)the set of AgadirMen A.S. preceded by Razorock Tuscan Oud-a virtual Oud double-header. Fine shave all around although I'm still trying to get it right at Cactus(the Ingrown Hair area and closeby). Proud to have the Agadir aftershave again. I found I had to go over three times the side of North Porcupine, as the whiskers just failed to come off until I finally got'em. That's happened before, rjus it requires a "focus" on it not happening again. 2 passes. Goose eggs on the Cuts, Knicks, and Polka-dots(should I have said "Easter eggs"?). Great aftershave coverage. Most Outstading. Time for 2 days of Magnificent Goo.

 

awesome shave and pic John.

 

thank you Chris.a few days of practice.

 

awesome gents.

 

SE Shave # 325 - MICROMATIC DECLARATION GROOMING MONDAY

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb
Blade: GEM Stainless
Brush: Shore Shave Creamsicle Swirl 24 mm White Synthetic
Lather: Declaration Grooming Darkfall
Aftershave: Declaration Grooming Darkfall
Additional Care:
Declaration Grooming Aftershave Liniment - Darkfall
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel

Most excellent first shave back in the Northern Den. The MMOC easily cleaned up today’s growth. As many of you know, I enjoy the Declaration Grooming soaps and splashes, both with and without the Chatillon Lux collaboration. Darkfall is the product that I use the most from these artisans.

Now that I am back in the Northern Den, I have to figure out my approach regarding the den reduction of soaps. Each Friday will be designated as a Fougere shave with the OCSC Brocha. Sunday is a sample soap shave day. Monday’s are designated for a DG/CL soap. Tuesday - Thursday are up on the air. Perhaps 2 out of the 3 days will be for the next soap on the Edmund Fitzgerald radar; Lather Brothers Calle Ocho. Finally, Saturday’s are random soap but with a lean towards my shave stick collection.

Well there you have it. I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

awesome Joe.

Alum, witch hazel, USB, Isa Knox aftershave



Hello gentlemen! I'm just dropping by to say hello. I've been on a 3017 kick for the last few months and have used up a few goodies in the shave den. This has been my same setup for awhile, and everything works perfectly together. A noticeable depression in the soap puck has formed after 20 consecutive shaves, but plenty remains. I'm half-way through the Isa Knox aftershave as well. I use it morning and evening, so it will finish up in short order.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

Grace and Peace​

 

Excellent shave, setup and post Charlie! Great to hear from you! I am assuming everything is great on your end.

 

thank you Joe.

Good afternoon.

Gillette Winner DE Blade (?)
JR #290 Cashmere Brush
Stirling Triumph SS
Fine Accoutrements Platinum AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 22.5 hrs



It was a nice and easy shave today. It looks like the Stirling Triumph SS is sinking fast. It looks like it may be used up this week. Did a 2-pass shave with buffing for an error-free and smooth shave. Alum feedback was minimal. Splashed on the aftershave and I am good to go. Take care.

 

Thanks Joe. We are doing well. We spent Easter with some dear friends (more like family) yesterday. I hope all is good for you, my friend.

 

Glad to hear it Charlie! I will be 68 in June and I am grateful that God has blessed me with excellent health. I will be seeing Joe C this Thursday for the Long Island Chapter of the 30DC monthly meeting. May God continue to bless you and Kathy.

 

Thank you, Joe. This is such great news! I hope you and @JACarbone have fun on Thursday.
