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

Grazie Joe

super set up, I reckon the Satsuma ASL would really add a fine ending to the shave

 

September 4 SOTM

Good morning.

GEM MMOC
GEM SE Blade (fresh)
Rockwell Synthetic Brush
Tabac SK
Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 35 hrs



Decided to do an easy shave so I picked out this setup to tackle my 1.5 days worth of growth. I placed a new GEM Blade in my GEM MMOC to make quick work of my stubble. Tbh, I could have stopped after one pass because it was in between a DFS and a BBS result. However on the second pass I got the result that met my standard and it didn't cost me any blood.

I chose Tabac because it's ridiculously easy to produce a nice, slick and creamy lather on my face. Tabac is such a great product. I never had a bad shave with it. I would be fine with Tabac if I was told that it would be the only thing that I can use to prep my beard.

Understandably, did get a decent amount of alum feedback, but nothing earth-shattering.
Splashed on the witch hazel to tone down my skin and applied the Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave to finish this shave. I will be leaving shortly to go to a picnic with my Senior Center group. Hey, free hamburger, hot dog, chips and a drink for free is ok with me. Lol! Take care.

 

fine mid week shave and pic Joe.

Thanks Gary.

 

Terrific T&H shave Gary.

 

thank you Joe.

 

Mostly happy with my shave this morning, but I came to the conclusion that it's going to be a struggle for me to go 3 days with the same shave items. Maybe on occasion I will, but it'll be tough. Clean and clear oust everywhere but for a mark of redness in the shape of a line down the middle of Cactus Nation(neck). No pain, it just showed up. Thankfully, the skin-loving aftershave(Stephan Bay Rum)helped clear it off. It wasn't "blood red". 2 passes. Very Outstanding.

 

Thank you Joe

Another excellent Stirling shave this morning. Off to another breakfast today with my fellow retired teachers.

The SDM is a refreshing cologne scent as dupe of the Green Irish Tweed. Three passes without any PTisms for the win. This would realistically fall into the Super Duper Most Excellent category. Unlike, just saying!!!

Hope you all have a great day.

 

“Smooth and velveteen.”, to quote our dear friend Jeff, @jgreenepa . We’ll done Barry.

 

Very nice injector shave Joe.

 

Very nice looking shave Gary.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Thank you Joe. She is a gem.

 

Thank you Chris. Satsuma is a fine scent and the aftershave leaves the face feeling outstanding.

 

Spot on shave Gary.

 

Hanging out with the Geriatric ward huh.
Fabulous shave Joe. Just wondering the reason for the following term, “Understandably”, in relation to the alum feedback.
Did you sense something during the course of the shave?
Lack of confidence in your ability?


Concerns regarding the use of a new blade?

 

Awesome shave Joe.

 

Thanks Joe.
