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

Thank you Joe.. The personna CC Lab blues are sharp and very smooth blades indeed. I'll be returning and start to use up my vast amount of various Treet carbon blades that I've accumulated through past impulsive buying urges, starting with the durasharp (blue pack) carbon PTFE/ Teflon coated blades, which I will use for quite some time, purely to start using them up...

 

I agree that was an Alabama Awesome shave Danny.

 

Thanks Joe

Good afternoon

Microtouch TTO Razor
Dorco T 300 DE Blade (3)
Stirling Boar Brush
TSD Irish Spring SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Modessa Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 22 hrs



I haven't used this razor since Oct. so it was time to use it. It gave me a 3 pass error-free BBS shave. Mind you, I would not use this razor on my 2 day stubble because I would probably risk irritation or wounds by constantly buffing my skin.
TSD lanolin soap did a nice job for the slickness and that's all I can ask for using it.
Did get some alum feedback and finished with my normal routine. Take care.

 

Stay safe Scott

Thanks Gary

fantastic pic Gary chunky looking razor

Lol, lots of green and gold here downunder

True Scott, time is precious. Looking forward to your next focus

Thanks Joe

 

thank you Chris.

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

Growth = 1 day

Prep = Tap Water Prep and shave
Pre Shave = Proraso cream Cypress and Vetyver while lathering
Cream = Proraso cream Cypress and Vetyver
Brush = Omega EVO
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Rocket HD
Blade = Gillette 7 o’clock Super Platinum Black (1)
Passes = Two, mainly WTG
Post = Usual, Alum, CWR, Thayers, Proraso Pure Barbe
Scent = Proraso Cypress and Vetyver Cologne

Score = 9+
Comments = shortened my shave time today, shaving cream, two passes only, less prep time. The Proraso cream comes up nice and thick and slick even when well hydrated. The scent of the Cream is described as Cypress and Vetyver but only faintly resembles that of the Cologne. Either way Proraso products never fail to impress. Great little razor

Have a great Thursday one and all

Superb shave with a soap that would have been more appropriate yesterday with our snow event. Ginger’s Garden soaps are a solid performer.

Three passes to super smoothness.
Hope you all had a great day.

 

Gillette, Omega, Proraso and Thayer’s make a great traditional combo. You can't miss with those products. Terrific shave Chris.

 

It's still an appropriate soap because we still have the white stuff on the ground. Super snowy shave Joe.
