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

that's a fine shave set up.i forgot i had tobs #74 lime .having a citrus shave on sunday

 

Feb 10 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Schick I-1 Injector
Pella Blade (9)
Omega Pro 49 Boar Brush
Cella SS
Stirling Spice AS
Stirling Alum Block
Modessa Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 23 hrs



Had a nice error-free 3 passer that resulted in a BBS shave. It looks like the Cella will be fitzzed in the next two to three days. It was a great soap with awesome slickness, but I am ready to move on to other soaps. I am sure that I will purchase it again down the road. The alum feedback was negligible. Finished with the witch hazel and the Stirling Spice aftershave. I didn't use the matching EdT because I figured to give it a rest. Take care.

 

Probably the top 3 in men's vintage aftershaves.

Nice basic shave Joe, good for travelling

thanks Joe, 1/4 Teaspoon or 1.25 mls scoop. I guess I could by with only one quarter of that with this soap, which means it will go a looooong way.

Very classic. Possibly for the aristocracy or the top brass that seldom got to the front lines. I don't see this being packed in any of the services dop-kit. Nice to see it in action though Gary

Flexible, Favourite, Feather, Fatip, Fine, Felce, whatever grabs my Fancy



Growth = 1 day
Fancied an Italian themed day today, hence the Proraso/Omega/Fatip

I don't have any Italian made blades to the Made in India one will have to do

Prep = Tap Water face rinse (34 Celsius coming out the cold tap!)
Pre shave = Proraso con Aloe e Vitamina E (tube)
Soap = Proraso Green Menthol (huh? what menthol?). Just lathered straight over the pre-shave
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = Timeless
Blade = Gillette 7 o’clock super platinum Black (2)
Passes = 2 + only needed
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, CWR, Thayers, Proraso Rinfrescante
Scent = Proraso Cypress and Vetyver cologne. Love this stuff

Score = 9.5
Another great result with the Fatip. I normally remove the blade each day to clean everything, but I left the blade in the razor yesterday, it’s a bit fiddly to align the blade in the razor each time. Gillette SP black performed well on day 2. Still no damage for February. Strangely enough, Zone 8 which is usually my nemesis area is smoother than the rest of the shave. C’est la vie. Do I need the Slant? Not really, I am still slip-sliding anyway, even with the slant, but it is fun to use

Super Sunday Shaves to one and all

 

awesome Chris.love that brush..

 

thank you Chris.that makes sense.for all the shave gear i have seen,scuttles are not seen often during this era, new or otherwise.more like a 1910-3o's option maybe?..

 

Thank you Gary.

 

DE Shave # 515 - The Shave Bowl SUPER BOWL SOTD Event
Chatillon Lux (Missouri) vs Mickey Lee Soapworks (California)

Rating: 5 / 5
Razor: Yaqi Traveler
Blade: Personna Lab Blues
Brush: Ever Ready 200T
Lather: MLS The Drunken Goat
Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Unconditional Surrender Toner

Wonderful efficient travel shave this morning. The sparingly uses MLS soap, no longer in production, pairs well with the CL UCS toner.

Once again the three pass routine did the trick. Super close end result without any incidents.

Traveling back home by noon today to be home in plenty of time for the game. Hope you all have an enjoyable Sunday.

 

Double thanks Joe

 

Outstanding Proraso shave Chris.

 

Love Oud. Very nice shave Pierpaolo

 

Very nice Barry

 

Very nice Cella shave Joe.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

I should try Stetson sometime, so I can compare it to Clubman Specnial Reserve(Pinaud Goes West).

 

I think my next Proraso will be that shaving soap in a bowl.
