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

Thanks Joe.

 

fine sea spice shave Joe.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Better shave this morning than previous mornings, as I just had a Knick on S. Porcupine, whereas there were cuts before. I put my plan into action and went a little easier there. I hope and expect to make this habit forming. With this "Dynamic Duo" of Proraso, what I want is no problems there at all, or ANWHERE(non, nein, rien, nada, nyet). The Knick was the only problem in an overall very nice shave. One pass. With this Proraso Foam I now have 2 canned shave products. Course before I joined here, as well as my early days as a member, it ws ALL lovely goo. Then I tried that Stephan soap/.cream and experienced that great feeling on my face and neck I asked, "Gee, what ELSE can I try?" The rest has been history.(Course as we know I still use lovely goo on occasion). Most Outstanding.

SRS # 1134 - Just One Soap July Weekdays - Cella

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: JR Torrey Celebrated Hollow Ground
Brush: Shore Shave Player 26 mm
Pre-Shave: Pears Transparent Soap
Lather: Cella Crema da Barba
Aftershave: PAA Sangre de Drago
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

An overcast, muggy day but that did not stop me from adding the PAA splash to finish out this shave. Cella continues to perform well. This soap is one of the few in my den that I load the brush directly from the pick (the others are the soaps that I have stored I have in a mug).

The JR Torrey straight delivered a flawless shave. No PTisms! In the words of our dear friend, Jeff, @jgreenepa; “My face is smooth and velveteen.”

Tomorrow will be our monthly chapter meeting between Joe, @Trigger, and myself. È ora di mangiare.
Hopefully our favorite waitress will be working.

 

Excellent B & M shave Gary.

 

How this for habit forming?

No mention of any crimson even if there is an occurrence. Perhaps if you don’t mention it, it will become habit forming and will eventually lead to non occurrence in your shaves.

Sometimes you do what your mind expects when you have no intention of doing it.

One can only hope.

 

Wonderful Wednesday shave Joe. Hoping she will be in tomorrow.

 

Awesome barbershop shave Gary.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

thank you Joe.

 

Good points John. 'might' still look at a Henson later on but I have enough for now. The Hydromagic is even easier to clean due to its opening mechanism

I think I would hate to drop a rare treasured razor, hard to find another one, unless its a common one or course, but these things do happen

Thanks Gary

Very nice. The more Tabac the Better! I don't have the cologne, might put this on my Xmas wishlist

Cool setup, and gritty determination Joe.

Thanks Joe

 

thank you Joe.love this old spice.once the bottle is gone though i won't look for another.

 

24 Jul 2024

Decided to shave after all, couldn’t resist

Days growth = 1

Prep = HOT water prep
Preshave = PR preshave
Cream/Soap = Tabac in a tub
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Schick type M adjustable @3
Blade = Schick SE (3) still going well
Passes = 2++
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, Cold Water Rinse, pat dry, Thayers,
ASL = Tabac AS balm and Lotion

Score = 9.8 / 10 ----------Minimal stubble left lower neck muscle, so can’t call this a 10

Damage = None, alum was mild

Thoughts = another super smooooth shave, liking this very manoeuvrable razor more and more

A late post from Yesterday, but hope you all had a Great Wednesday

 

thank you Chris.

 

just arrived..aftershave has little scent,just alcohol,cologne is ok..now i have glass bottles to decant the good stuff into..

 

fine mid week affairs gents.

 

Got my second shave in today since starting this focus on the same Derby Extra. I almost switched blade because it is already tugging.

Read the marketing and it is Chromium, Ceramic, Polymer, Tungsten coated. To me it sounds like marketing buzz. I cannot imagine 4m coatings.

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

My focus this month with my Gillette & Wilkinson Sword razors has been a joy. The 1970's Gillette Aluminium Handle Tech S4 / Feather Hi Stainless blade is the best I've tried to date. A close comfortable shave to finish my shaving week off superbly.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
