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

Thanks Gary. OK, but I still find the whole Gillette thing confusing. I guess the biggest variations are in the handles, and the boxes/set they come in and there is less variation in the heads, would that be an oversimplification?
Sounds to me like Mr K Gillette was good at marketing and staying ahead of the competition. One day I will have the time to look into the history of this all.
Either way, the few Gillette razors that I do have suit my face well, and always perform well, which would mean he got things right and why there are so many out there.

 

Terrific Thursday shave Barry! Enjoy your afternoon!

 

Great shave and post Chris! I rinse my face between passes and never have had a problem with thinning lather. The lather naturally thins because I am using up more soap as my shave progresses. I still add water to the loaded brush despite having a wet face and find that the lather is still creamy. Is it voluminous? Not really, but the lather is super slick and that's what I aim for while shaving. Santa Claus beards look nice, but they aren't necessary. I believe a good lather is one that gives you a great shave regardless of its thickness. Have a great evening!

 

Am I mistaken or does that look a bit like Matt himself?

 

Yes, it is Matt P.

 

"Yes, it is Matt P."
Cool!

 

Wonderful Throwback Thursday shave. I think the Razorock soap(Tuscan Oud)gets the MVP. Great setup for the AgadirMen A.S. Course the Agadir bodywash(Sport)was a nice setup for the T.O. soap. For the shave itself, I might have had a top-grade performance, but one glitch got in the way. That was a Knick at the left side of my mouth, Right at the border between North and South Porcupine Alley. Nice job elsewhere. 2 passes. Super Duper Outstanding.

 

Are you anaswering your own question?(Then"Matt" persuasion).

 

Kinda like me at the supermarket.

 

Nope, replying to Joe, edited accordingly.

 

Oh OK. We're straight.

 

2 passes is good going, I rarely get that.

 

I'll have to admit, more times than not I do have enough for 3.

 

1. Comment came belatedly, I am a bit slow on the mobile!
2. I always make sure I have enough lather for 3 or more passes but rarely succeed in getting a good shave in just 2 passes, 2 passes is good going in my book.

 

I suppose I could do a third, but I end up thinking "Aaaaahh, this is enough(at 2).

My final shave with this PAA soap as I have PIF’d to Joe, @Trigger, as he was the winner of my contest to identify which razor would get the honors for my 900th straight razor. The correct answer to the question was my Theirs-Issard Super Gnome. Enjoy the soap even if you are not a big fan of the PAA.

I had another superb three pass shave with this software and hardware combination. The soap easily whipped up into a luxurious lather with the assistance of a custom made brush by Leo Frilot and the C-MON did the rest.

Another dreary day here on LI with the weather feeling more like early fall with rain in the forecast.

I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Most excellent shave Barry.

 

Who IS that mustached man????

 

Fabulous citrus shave Gary.
