30 Day Rule/Focus; November 2024. All Are Welcome.

Thank you Danny...I hope all is well for you on your side of the pond.

 

Danny....good to see you(course I was away too for awhile, hence my new screen-name.Don't ask.) I'm the Stoylin, Doc Ezlovan man.

 

It has been a busy summer. We just finished up firewood. Our big project was finishing up a Farmall Super A that my dad started working on probably about 15 years ago. It was the last engine that he built. I lowered the tractor and added a seat for parades and for fun at the tractor shows. We started stripping the tractor down for paint on labor day weekend. It also got new tires and a bathtub for the grandkids to ride in. I've also started to get back into my photography hobby.

What projects have you been working on?




11:51 into the video is my son's tractor.

12:04 into the video is the lowered Super A

 

That brush is a looker and one of the highlights of the den.

Thanks a bunch and take care.

 

It is....just busy and I laid off the shave den for a while and that just made it hard to get back on board. Hopefully I can spend more time hanging out with all of y'all.

 

Is this Paul?

What is Blondblue?

 

I knew you'd ask(lol). I decided to change my screen name due to some difficulties I was having, trying to fix a technical problem on here pertaining to my account(paassword). I have blond hair and blue eyes.

 

Just trying to figure it out. I recognized your avatar but the name was confusing me.

Good to hear from you Paul.

 

that is awesome .cool tractot/trailer.i am building more model kits,a couple of ford truck kits in the works.working lots,usual stuff.

 

Thank Gary.

The model work sounds great...look forward to seeing the end results.

Take care.

 

Yup, will take a few days, the 66 can be done almost blindfolded, this one needs focus!

Thanks for the encouragement Joe!

Thanks Gary

Thanks Danny

Some parade!

 

20 Nov 2024

1 Days growth

Usual Prep and Preshave = Faulding’s shave cream, nearing the end
Cream/Soap = Cyril R Salter
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = White plastic
Razor = No 77
Blade = Vintage Schick (1) I thought I would try a fresh Schick blade >>> made no real difference
Passes = 2 +
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal, Nivea balm
ASL = Imperial Leather
Scent = Guerlain Pour Homme
Score = 9/10 for end result
Damage = none, but the Alum made its presence known in no uncertain way

Fresh Schick blade made no real difference. Still an aggressive shave. Not the best blade for this razor I guess. Got the lather a bit thicker. Got to really focus on sliding along the cap/riding the cap, real light pressure, that seems to be the trick with this razor. Will stick with this little razor a while longer, swapping out blades and see how it turns out.

Have a great Wednesday one and all

Very nice shave Chris. I am confident you will eventually get this razor dialed in.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Truth! Thank you Joe.

 

Nice setup and shave Chris.

 

I had an e-mail from Maggard about a 24-hr. deal. They don't sell from Strike Gold....shux. Ahhh, that's all right-I'm on with the SG group anyway, and it isn't like I have no soaps left.

 

My cleaning lady just found my TSD Russian Leather A.S.. Life is good.
