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

Excellent start to the month Joe.

 

awesome sunday shave and pic Joe. congrats on your 3rd 200th..

 

Thanks John. Hey, glad you're OK and that's the most important thing. I forgot about Decadent December. Lol! Looking forward to your decadent shave setups.

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Congrats on reaching 200 straight razor shaves in a year once again Joe. I won't blame you if you sneak in a straight razor shave now and again. You can always use your Dovo shavette (Dovo December) so you won't have to worry. Lol! Btw, great setup and shave to start the month.

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Great setup and shave, Joe! Congrats on attaining 200 straight shaves during the year again!

And doesn't a slant razor count as "nearly a straight" when it comes to aggressiveness and care needed to shave with it?

 

A much better shave today than Sunday. Was it the Boar? Maybe it was a contributing persuasion, who is to say?Clean clear shave all around. No damage. 2 passes. I had the presence of mind to go after my original misses and correct them. Nice work from the Stephan Bay Rum A.S.I used a little more today than yesterday. Thankfully, the pour spout helps you avoid a Niagra Fallas persuasion, while still allowing a good amount to come out. Closed out with a cologne I should be using more often--A&E Chasing the Dragon. Lovely scent. As Outstanding As It Gets.

 

December 2 SOTM Headshave.

Good morning.

MicroTouch TTO
Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (2)
Parker Synthetic Brush
Barbus Sport SC
Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Dome Turf: 4 days



After my shower, I went straight to my badly needed headshave. I decided to use my upper mild to low medium aggressive MicroTouch razor and was quite surprised as to how efficient it was. I did 3 passes with touchups for a BBS result. Did see a little blood on my lather so when I finished the shave I checked the back of my head and saw some slight irritation. Otherwise, it was a perfect headshave. I attribute this to the blade because it's not a branded Gillette blade and is a little rougher.

I picked the Barbus Sport because I wanted an easy, quick and slick lather and it did just that. Of course, there's no lather pic because I just smashed the cream on my head and headlathered with my Parker Brush.

The alum feedback was there, but it was just above minimal in my opinion. Splashed on the witch hazel and the Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave to top off this shave. Take care.

PS. No picture because there was a glitch
Ok. I fixed the glitch. Here is the picture of this morning’s setup for my headshave:

 

Yaqi Sentinel OC stainless steel razor head.
Homelike Shaving Voevoda stainless steel handle.
Astra SP blade.
Shore Shave Cool Water Mint Ribbon synthetic brush.
Fine Accoutrements Fresh Vetiver shave soap.
Timeless razor shave bowl.
American Tobacco by Andy Hilfiger cologne.

Marvelous Monday shave. After being off work for four days it was hard to get moving but a great shave helped me get out the door.

Take care everyone!
