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

Thanks Joe, time to get stuck in to my To Do List!

Thank you Scott.

What is CK-6 Joe?

Thanks for the suggestion Paul, will see if I can find this somewhere down here

Super looking shave and quite a step up in razors. Glad it worked out for you!

 

It stands for Crown King - 6 Formula. Douglas Smythe who owns PAA also had the CK-1 formula. He had both for a few years, but decided to discontinued the CK-1 original iteration. I believe the CK-6 has a better quality of ingredients and thus it's more expensive. To my knowledge, there wasn't a CK-2, CK-3, etc. because I have never seen it on the market. They may have existed, but failed to meet Douglas' specs or he just decided to name the new version CK-6 without previous versions other than CK-1

A new shave set up to start the weekend....

I really like Proraso Sandalwood & Shea oil soap it never fails to provide an acceptable lather with aa excellent sandalwood scent which is my favourite of all the sandalwood soaps & creams I have tried.

An acceptable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

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

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

Thank you Joe. I certainly feel like I’m getting a full handle on things now….

 

I’ve never even looked at PAA soaps so good to know. Generally speaking, I’ve found brands that go over the top with label art probably need to focus more on what’s in the container as far as quality

 

Thank you Chris!

 

Another great lookin eclectic mix Barry….

 

Thank you Scott.

Prep = usual CWR and Preshave with Tabac in a tube
Soap = Tabac
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Merkur Progress set at #3
Blade = Nacet (1)
Passes = 2 ++
Post = CWR (already stinging), Brush washings, CWR, towel dry, Alum (more stinging), CWR, Thayers, Tabac ASL, Tabac AS balm.
Damage = None

Score = 9.8

After yesterday’s shave I was still smoother in the evening than is normally the case. I blame it on the Nacet at this stage

Another great shave from the Nacet today. The skin was tingling even with the Cold Water Rinse, never mind the Alum. I don’t remember the Progress getting me this smooth with any other blade. Super smooth start to the day. I don’t normally use balms because I find they block the pores but today I felt the skin needed it. The Nacet should be a bit smoother tomorrow

Super Saturday to one and all

 

Fine Latigo is on the way, thanks Paul

Thanks

 

Super Saturday Shave Barry. I have never tried TOBS Sandalwood and have heard that it was very good. Have you tried it?

 

Sounds like your shave was super close Chris. Love Tabac and heard that Nacets are very good blades.

 

Thank you Joe..No i haven't tried the TOBS Sandalwood, by all accounts it has a more sweeter Sandalwood fragrance. I will eventually get round to giving it a try, sandalwood is a firm favourite of mine.

 

Fine looking shave Chris!

 

Thank you Gary.
