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

Wouldn’t know. Did not see it.

 

Very nice Pierpaolo.

 

Great breakfast and shave. The other downside of not have our favorite beauty of a waitress is that Joe’s game was not on display. Well next time.

 

And no ingrown hairs

 

Excellence

 

Thanks Joe. Well, it was difficult because I wasn't inspired.

 

Very nice Gary.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

thank you Joe.

 

I don't get ingrown hairs because I shave only with the grain or across the grain. I never shave against the grain, even if I use a Gillette super speed.
I found I get a smooth shave using a new blade in a MMOC, Yaqi Helmet, Cooper unibuilt etc.... Tom's razor gives me the closest one pass shave out of everything I own with a new feather blade.
I only get a couple hours of smootnness if I do a BBS shave so it's not worth it to me. I despise the bumps.
But everyone needs to figure out what's good for them.

I caught covid and been dealing with it since Friday morning. Basically laying around like a wet towel for now.
I missed Friday shave but gonna see if I feel like getting a shave when I get up this morning. Gotta get this stuff cut off before I got a beard, I hate beards.
Anyway
Good luck and
Enjoy

Thank you Joe.

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend....Another superb performance from the Ach Brito Mogno Shaving Soap Bar which i use like a shave stick rubbing it directly into my stubble then build up a lather with my wet brush adding more water to the tips of the brush continued building the lather until i get it to the consistency i prefer.

My reacquaintance with both the Personna Comfort Coated & Parker 24C open comb razor has been fantastic....This duo really works well together.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth cool and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

 

Thanks Terry, I should do well to heed this advice!

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

~40 hr
Saturday AM shave

Prep = usual
Soap = Cella, loaded from the tub with…
… Brush = Omega 11137 bristle…. Into the ….
… Bowl = Op Shop Microwave proof made in Japan
Razor = Gillette New OC 1930s
Blade = Treet, one and done

2 ½ passes plus touch ups, mainly WTG and XTG both ways within each pass
Revisited my beard map: changing up what I am doing in the lower neck areas, trying to avoid ATG
Post = Cold water rinse, alum, CWR, Thayers’, Brut ASL, Proraso AS balm
Scent = Guerlain pour homme EdP

Much better shave this morning...because? >>> OC razor, more time since last shave, new blade, Cella lathered well with the LatherMeister method, less buffing, less ATG

Super smooth ::: minor weeper lower chin/cleft area ::: self-healing with cold water
Score = super duper 9/10

Have a great Saturday

 

Thanks.
