30 Day Rule/Focus; January 2024. All Are Welcome!

Great setup and pic, Pierpaolo.

 

Thanks, Joe.

 

Great looking shave and details, and you compliment me for being detail oriented. I am 99% sure that my shaving will never involve taking notes, so good on you!

 

Happy birthday Joe!

 

Beautiful razor Joe. Wonder what it's history is.....

 

Thanks Scott. I bought it a few years ago from a guy out West. I don't remember where he resided. He restored it and I had always wanted a wedge razor for my collection. It looked very good am the rest is history.

This is a "better late than never" post. My last shave was a couple days ago, knocking off almost a week of stubble.

DE Shave # 511 - Birthday Shave

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Gillette Flare Tip SS (1959 E-1)
Blade: Personna Lab Blues (2)
Brush: Sawdust Creation Studio Old Cahaba
Pre-Shave: Pears Transparent Soap
Lather: Stirling Spice
Aftershave: B & M Reserve Spice
Additional Care:
Omega Alum

Excellent three pass shave with the birth year/quarter DE razor. Extremely close and comfortable three pass shave which resulted in a dolphin-like skin smoothness. Yes smooth and velveteen. Of course, the scent of the soap and splash bring me back to an earlier time. Just love the all around feeling this combination presents.

The plan for the day go to lunch my mother and sister. This evening I will be heading out to dinner with the missus and my little man.

 

Super Stirling Spice Shave Joe. I wished you a Happy Birthday in an earlier post. Enjoy your day with your family.

 

Joe.

Full Disclosure- We had a water main break down the street from me yesterday morning, and I had to drive both kids to school at different times. Then it was my son’s late martial arts night, so I did not get a shave in. I do not want to be another internet phony with no integrity, so putting it right out there...

The streak ends at 24 consecutive days, but I'm still nothing but happy. I proved to myself that my face issues are in the rearview mirror, so moving on to continue testing razors.

Had a nice old school shave today. The Fatip experiment has been a success, and I will move on to the last new razor of the month on Saturday…


Days shaving in January - 25
Current skin issues or irritation- None so far

Have a great day everyone!

That razor is absolutely stunning Gary

 

I hope the rest of your birthday went as well as the Shave! I slapped on some Old Spice yesterday as well…

 

Looks great Gary. Old Spice seems to be on everyone’s radar the last few days.

 

You can't go wrong with a splash of the "Old Spice" It'll always have a place in my post shave application. Superb stuff!
