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

Well, I made a small "dent" in the Mama Bear Beau Brummel. Good way to close it out until next time. I went much softer in the delicate areas than usual. A note from a gentleman in here steered me towards doing that. Thank you, gentleman(Aaaaahh. you know who you are, thus no need for an introduction). Nice shave all around. Zero cuts, Knicks, Polka-Dots. Finished with Puros A.S.(Razorock). I wonder how Puros compares to Tabac. Anyway, As Outstanding As It Gets.

 

awesome friday affairs gents.

good morning gents
work shave

have a fine friday everyone.

I have a fireplace and a solar generator, but hoping the power is back on by the time I get home…..

 

Thank you Gary-the reason I thought about a Puros-Tabac comparison came from that guy reviewing Stoylin Gentleman, saying he thinks there's more tobacco in Gentleman than in "Tabac" itself.

 

Yes they are. It's another reason why I like Stirling. Many artisan soapmakers don't provide samples so that you're not put a lot of money if you don’t like the soap. I scratch my head as to why most other artisans follow suit.

 

Love the brush, Pierpaolo.

 

Awesome Old Spice shave Gary! Enjoy your day.

Dec 22 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Van der Hagen TTO Razor
Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (7, 8)
Barbury Synthetic Brush
Angora Soaps Midnight Lavender SS and AS Stirling Alum Block
Modessa Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 21 hrs
Dome Turf: 3 days



I decided to pick out another mild razor for today's head and face shave. The Van der Hagen Razor got the nod. I haven't used a Lavender scented soap in awhile, so I picked the Angora Midnight Lavender. It's a wonderful scent and gives a nice, slick lather. Here's my lather:



I only needed 2 passes on my face, but did my usual 3 passes on my dome for an error-free BBS result all around. Didn't get any alum feedback. Finished this fine session with the witch hazel and matching aftershave. Take care.

 

Just outstanding

 

Fabulous Joe

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Shavette Shave # 217 - Fougere Friday - Bonsai

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Dovo Shavette
Blade: Persona Hair Shaper
Brush: JTSpartan Boar 24 mm
Pre-Shave: Pears Transparent Soap
Lather: FuzzyFace Soaps Bonsai
Aftershave: Los Jabones de Joserra Brocha
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Wonderful Fougere Friday shave. Jason’s brush, @jtspartan, whipped up a glorious lather. See below:



This was my third shave with the Dovo shavette , second with the Persona Hair Shaper blade. The razor is probably one of the lightest razor I have ever used. Nonetheless, it was easy to manipulate around the face and neck without any issues. Three passes, as my norm, to super smoothness.

Enjoy your evening gentlemen.

 

Excellent shave and presentation Chris.

 

One of the all time great scents. Fantastic Gary.

 

Really nice shaves everyone! Power finally back on and hope to shave tomorrow!

 

Super Shavette Shave Joe! In skilled hands, the Dovo Shavette flat out dishes great shaves.

 

Thanks and glad you got your power back Scott.

 

Thank you Joe. Enjoying the razor so far.
