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

Thanks Joe.

 

You're welcome Joe....As you may know, he's been making additions here and there....I recently bought his new Bay Rum, and may do so again.

 

thank you Joe

 

cool blue tip shave and pic Joe..

 

I would have to say that that is one of the more unusual brush handles making an appearance on the 30DC...

 

Thanks Joe.

 

December 6 SOTM

Good morning.

Shavette Shave # 592
Magic by Master Barber
Derby 1/2 DE Blade (4)
Hembree Delrin/Maggard Timberwolf Brush
PAA/King R Emporium SS
TSD Irish Spring AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 47 hrs



Had a 3 pass error-free smooth and comfortable shave this morning. I picked out the PAA/King R Emporium because I like the lather it provides. I decided to face lather than bowl lather so there isn't a lather pic. The alum was mostly silent. Splashed on the witch hazel and the TSD Irish Spring aftershave so I am ready to venture outside and head out to the Senior Center later this morning for lunch and Pinochle. Afterwards, it's hitting the gym at 4:15pm. Take care.

 

Back 9 of the Proraso this morning. Clean and clear all around. One pass. No damage. It usually is that way with my cans, but I'm glad I do a lot more with shave soaps these days. Good close with. the Pro A.S. As Outstanding As It Gets.

Very nice barbershop shave Gary.

 

Thank you Joe. We will get through it. I am sure Mother Nature would tell us we are due.

I will eventually pick up another one of his soaps since I have finished the WTF Vintage Barbershop.

 

Awesome shave. You have not finished that soap yet. Going Beastmode later today I see.

 

It is an interesting brush. Thank you John.
