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

Very nice shave Joe. Must be a slow phone.

 

Cool setup and shaves Barry.

 

Thanks Joe. It's 5G. I think that I have too many apps that cause the phone to slow down.

 

Interesting brush Joe, I like long handles on my brushes, yours looks to be something from a space age chess set.

Don't worry Scott there is a never ending amount of stuff out there!

Thanks Joe

 

Gravity defying. It's an interesting picture because the pivot point on the handle can work in my favour when I navigate around the jawline.

As you said: Equilibrium, Balance, Harmony.

 

28 Nov 2023 (No Repeat November = TABAC TUESDAY)

24 hours



Prep = Tepid tap Water Prep and shave
Preshave = Tabac in a tube Pre shave
Soap = Tabac
Brush = Omega Pura Setola 11137
Bowl = Cheap deep white plastic bowl
Razor = Gillette Aristocrat ~ ‘ 47 fells less solid than the Rocket/Muhle R89 etc, somehow feels more tinny, don't know why
Blade = Feather (1)
Passes = 3 + including ATG top and lower lip, cheeks and sideburn areas
Post = CWR, Alum (it reminded me of where I overdid things a bit, Zone 8 right lower neck) CWR, Thayers. Tabac ASL and Tabac AS balm. Not usually a fan of balms and lotions, but I just had to have a full house Tabac Tuesday, right? It did provide lasting skin care throughout the day
Damage = Minor redness right side of lower neck

Score = 9.5 / 10. Highly enjoyable shave. Super smooth DFS and some BBS

Comments = The Aristocrat somehow feels less robust than I remember. The Feather performed well. Trying my hand at J-hooking the Zone 8 area but is proving tricky, I might try some dry runs with left hand at some stage

 

Thank you Chris. Jim, @Jayaruh, did a phenomenal job on all of the 5 brushes I have in my den. You should check out his inventory.

Not sure what that is, Joe.

 

SRS # 1002

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Tuckmarr 5/8” Maccassar scales
Brush: Jayaruh 329 Boar
Lather: Cella Crema da Barba
Aftershave: PAA Chella Cool
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Outstanding Cella shave this morning. I am making it a point to use my Jayaruh brushes this week. Model # 329, Boar, is one of my favorite brushes as it always produces a consistently thick lather. The brush spent about three hours soaking in water. In the meantime I was able to get my son off to school for extra help in math and complete my X3 Bar Pull workout.

Following the soaking, I shook out the excess water and towel dried the brush prior to loading directly off of the puck of soap. With barely any moisture on the brush, I loaded the brush for about 30 seconds. Finally, I took the brush to the lather bowl, periodically adding a few drops of water to eventually build the lather the way I like it.

Theee passes with the Tuckmarr straight has my face feeling divine. I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

Really? Polka dots.

 

I should mention first that I shaved off the beard I was growing at South Porcupine Alley(chin)and ended up NOT bothering the nasty cut. I guess the thing has calmed down by now. Anyway, nice shave today-going easy with Lovely Goo(Barbasol) and Yardley A.S. Clean and clear along the cheeks&sideburns.Same with MOST of North Porcupine(the right side still haunts me). South was good. Well done down at Cactus Nation(neck). One pass. I like the Yardley A.S., but may put it aside until next spring, as it comes out on the cool side. Most Outstanding.

 

Terrific Tabac Tuesday shave Chris!

 

I mean, I KNOW it''s polka-dots, but....oh, perhaps a reference to me getting them a lot with my shaves????

 

Awesome shave Joe.

 

Outstanding Tabac shave Chris

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Bingo!

 

Looks great Chris. I can't have anything tobacco touch my skin, but will live vicariously through you today!

 

Hardware?

 

Beautiful Joe!

Had to do a double take with the Cella/Chella thing. I know Cella makes and aftershave but have never seen it here or noticed any reviews on it
