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

Marvelous Ming Shi shave Barry.

 

Excellent shave as always Joe.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Thank you Joe. The ABM soap never fails to perform superbly.

 

Very well-done shave this morning. There's a little bit more of the WTX soap left than of the Fine Latigo. The former should last until next fall. Good work at the Loading Dock for a soap that was quite thirsty. Clean and clear shave at the cheeks&sideburns-N. Porcupine, too. Could have done better on S. Porcupine(chin). Cactus Nation(neck)was fine. 2 passes. No cuts, Knicks, 2 Polka-dots. Hub City Soaps is based in Lubbock, TX, and is family-owned. Course we now see many family-owned artisan groups out there. The first one I knew about was Doc and Nurse Ezlovan and Stoylin. And speaking of Stoylin, their Unscented A.S. was a nice addition to the shave. I closed out with Millionaire cologne. Super Duper Outstanding.

April 27 SOTA

Good afternoon

Rockwell 6C (plate #6)
Zorrik DE Blade (8,9)
Parker Synthetic Brush
Stirling Tsuka SS, AS and EdT
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 23 hrs
Dome Turf: 3 days



It was a combination face and headshave for me. I only needed 2 passes for my face for a near BBS shave without any errors. I could have gone for my usual 3rd pass, but I decided it was close enough. However, I did my usual 3 pass head shave with minor pickups for a bloodless cueball smooth shave. I didn't realize that I had that many uses on that blade before I shaved, but it was fine. I don’t want to push it so it is getting binned.

The Parker brush did a great job whipping up the lather, but in all fairness; Stirling soaps will provide a great lather regardless of the brush that is used. I must say it does have plenty of backbone. Usually, synthetic brushes don't, but I am not complaining. Here's my lather:



I didn't get any alum feedback from the face, neck or dome. Splashed on the witch hazel to treat the skin for any redness that may occur. I usually don't get any. Applied the matching aftershave and a few spritzes of the matching EdT and I smell clean and refreshed. Take care.
