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

Have not seen Royal Copenhagen in decades. Great photo!

 

thank you.

 

Is that the same bird you had before?

 

I beg to differ.

 

I went back into the thread to look up your posted SOTDs. While it appears at times you may mention the software, soap, goop and aftershave you fail to mention the type of razor and brush.
It is not to much to ask for you to be a bit more specific. Especially with the razor as I can not fathom how you manage to cut yourself so much. Cartridges tend to be fool proof.

 

yes,,but he's just looking right at you now..

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Hi Joe, thanks for the link. That's quite a few brushes Jim has made.

Rating: 5/5

Prep- Hot water rinse
Razor: 1967 Gillette Super Speed
Blade- Feather Hi Stainless. Second shave on new blade
Two Pass Shave- One WTG, one XTG/ATG
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Lather: TOBS Grapefruit Shaving Cream
Aftershave: Clubman Lime Sec
Post: Quinns Grapefruit Witch Hazel
Soundtrack- Assorted Rolling Stones



Another great shave this morning! I was a bit rushed, so decided to skip the pre shave shower. That is usually a problem for me, but not this time.

The combo of the Feather blade in my SS and the TOBS soap was more than up to the challenge. Smooth shave with zero irritation.

I was so exited about this soap when it arrived last night. I had previously tried the TOBS Jermyn Street years ago. Loved the lather, but the scent was too strong. Like getting hit with a fougere sledge hammer! I still have the aftershave and use it very sparingly, and very occasionally. The grapefruit was nothing short of wonderful, and the Quinns WH was the perfect finish.


Since I’m not shaving again until Friday, this shave closes out my November Focus. It was very fun and successful, so thanks to all of you for the comments and encouragement!

I’m going to order 100 Feather blades this week.

Next month I will be trying an assortment of new blades that I did not get around to in my beginner phase years ago. Will also do my best to stay within the theme, whatever it happens to be.

Have a great day everyone!

 

Can't go wrong with Proraso Pierpaolo.

 

Wonderful Wednesday shave Scott.

 

I like that he does .

 

Thank you Joe! Great start to a frigid Wednesday up here in New England…

 

Watch for my next shave description. You'll see my razor type and name of brush, as I've always done.

 

Last night I brought out the Russian Leather(TSD Store) aftershave to replace Yardley. Quite warmer in feel, that's a fsct. Fine shave all around-No cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. One pass. Back to more soaps, beginning tomorrow.

VERY nice Gary!

Are you a shave stick aficionado? If so, would love to hear your thoughts (or anybody else's) on them. I currently use an Arko stick for travel, but it dries my face a bit in the wintertime. I'm pondering trying a few of the other available ones...

 

thank you Scott.not a stick soap fan really,hence 3 sticks grated/pressed into the bowl.i also did it to use them up.the 3 combined do make a great lather,very slick.no post shave benefits really as that wasn't in their design originally.there were post shave products for that..

 

Beautiful setup and pic Gary.
