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

Super Schick Shave Barry.

 

Good Saturday morning. Again, I changed the shave plan at the sink of scrimmage. I decided to switch the aftershave to:

Clubman-Pinaud Reserve(Gent's Gin).
after hearing reports that humidity may be added to today's warmth. And again, the Rise SuperFoam struggled to leave the can, even after a lot of shaking. But once it DID leave, it felt good like ol'Rise from years past. Clean and clear all over. No cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. One pass(as I do for canned shaving). After finishing the Rise, I may try for a Colgate(on eBay), but I won't do it if I have to pay a huge price for it. Course it would have tp say "Brand New". Course there's always good ol' Barbasol from stores. Such a shame-it's all about the slow exit thingy. Anyway- Most Outstanding overall-fine shave, but the struggle to get going is frustrating.

Spring has arrived in Perth

Saturday Switch up, to avoid getting stale, I felt the need to swap a few things around…

1 Days growth

Usual Prep and Preshave = Shave Faulding’s shave cream
Cream/Soap =Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood
Brush = Razorock 400 Plissoft Synthetic
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Gillette Slim K3 today, @5
Blade = Shark Super Stainless (1)
Passes = 3 plus some touch ups
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal
ASL = Pinaud Lime Sec
Scent = Santal Spirit Sandalwood
Score = 9.5 / 10 = Super Smooooooth
Damage = 0

A blade is a blade is a blade, right?

Not...

Am beginning to appreciate the differences. This Shark is a bit rough, sharp yes, but not smooth on Day 1 anyway. Due care was needed, hence 3 passes had to be done. The Alum told me I had done a good job anyway.

Super Saturday to all TSD Shavers…

Enough with the S’s already

 

THAT was the other Ariana I liked-forgot until just now. Thanks for the reminder, Gary/ . Nice shave.

 

hard to get up here,had to order direct and eat crap sshipping costs.should be alright for yourself though.great product..

 

thank you Paul.

 

Thanks Gary

Another fine 2 passer, lovely coppery co-ordinated colours Gary

Wow, 10 shaves, you have to be pleased with that

Have tried that a few times, just one pass and I will be done. Haven't manage that yet, always tempted to keep going

Cool gear and set up Gary

 

fine weekend slim lime sec shave Chris.

 

I'm surprised their company title isn't "Coopais et Francais"!

 

thank you for all Chris.yes,10+ shaves is cool for a "chinese made modern blade to replace all others when they are gone" blade...i bought a 100 pack,it should last when i use them.

 

they are from minneapolis minnesota..

 

I have family there-two cousins.

 

Right, I was too corny with that one! lol.

 

Nice setup and shave Gary.

 

Great shave Chris. I have a tuck or two of Shark blades and haven't tried them out yet. They do have a rep of being a little rough so I am not ready to try them at this time.

 

Sept 14 SOTM
Good morning.

Straight Razor Shave #574
10/8 Max Sprecher (90)
Catie’s Bubbles Tuxedo Brush
Pedro Fiasco's Limencello SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block Personal
Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 43.5 hrs



As promised earlier in the week, I brought out Max and Pedro Fiasco's Limoncello SS and AS. Before I shaved, I decided to refresh Max on my strop pasted with Crox (chromium oxide). It's my second refresh in 90 shaves. All I can say is viva la difference! Max mowed my beard growth very easily. Three passes for an error-free BBS result. The craftsmanship of this razor is unbelievable because I will eventually have over 100 shaves without doing a serious honing.
Anyway, I just love the scent of Limoncello. It still is present after the shave and the lather is creamy and slick Here is my lather:




I had very little alum feedback. Splashed on the witch hazel and the matching aftershave and I am smelling clean and refreshed. Take care.

 

Thank you, Joe.

 

Thank you Chris. For me my favorites are Trismegistus, Darkfall and Gratiot League Square. Maggard should have some samples.
