30 Day Rule/Focus; February 2025. All Are Welcome.

Excellent shave Barry. I like your shaving plans for next month.

 

Nicely done Neal.

 

Fine shave Danny. The razor looks like a Gillette Superspeed.

 

Thanks Joe...yes it does but it is solid stainless steel and the flare tip unscrews. It is very grippy.

Take care.

 

Awesome!

I have not been very active but it always feels like home here.

Take care.

Tuesday February 25 (evening) - Fine-tuning Favourites February

Prep: Hot shower with Aleppo olive oil soap w/ 20% bay laurel oil (traditional anti-acne)

Razor: Matte black stainless steel Supply 2.0 injector with "nick-proof" SE comb plate / Personna blade (4)

Soap: TOBS Lavender Shave Cream (croap)

Brush: Semogue SOC cherrywood reknotted by Jason @jtspartan w/ APShaveCo 24mm Tuxedo synthetic knot

Lather Bowl: None

Post: rinse, alum, rinse, TSD Lavender Aftershave Milk

Last shave: Friday February 21 - 4 days ago

Today's setup:



The weather here has now risen to between 0 and 5 C - very nice. But I still have the full goatee and moustache set - for the moment.

I used the same setup today as I had on Friday. This time, though, I managed to shave within the lines...

Since I no longer have a line of beard along my jaw to separate my neck and cheek regions, I just shaved everything together rather than splitting my shave into neck and then cheek regions. I did two passes -- WTG and then XTG. That removed the stubble and brought me back to DFS with silent alum.

Hope everyone is keeping well and is having a good week.
