30 Day Rule/Focus; June 2025. All Are Welcome!

Paul, I find your last line amusing somehow. It seems like you're joking, but maybe you're not? No offense meant if you're not, of course.

Nice shaves, Joe.

Purdy pics and nice shave, Gary.

Great shave, Joe!

 

...hope I haven't missed anyone...

 

Thanks Eoin!

 

I also agree that it's a great travel razor.

 

Thank you Joe. Yes, the Omega soap performs really well, it has a nice menthol kick to it as well.

 

Thank you Joe.

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave,

I have said this in many of my posting that the Haslinger Schafmilch & Lanolin soap is an incredible shaving soap. Like all of the Haslinger soaps I've tried it doesn't get top marks for it's fragrance but My skin type really likes shaving soaps with lanolin added to the ingredients, the post shave feeling from it is absolutely superb.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut Oceans ASL.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

 

thank you so much

Yes sir.while the gamechanger is very affordable compared to other higher priced stainless steel razors,it's also readily replaceable should it get lost or stolen.not so easy with a prized gillette.gillette's prices have quickly gone upward in recent times as well.i will say that if i sold my gillettes tomorrow,the gamechanger would easily take top spot as my daily driver..

June 22 SOTA Headshave

Good afternoon.

Van der Hagen TTO Razor
Voskhod DE Blade (3)
Rockwell Synthetic Brush
TSD Orange SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Lucky Witch Hazel
Dome Turf : 4 Days



I decided to use yesterday's setup because I didn't post a pic. The only difference is that I changed the brush. Three passes gave me a bloodless BBS shave.
Alum feedback was enough to let me know that I was ultra close. Witch hazel and the matching aftershave was applied to top the shave. Take care.

 

Awesome shaves and setup guys!

 

Thank you Joe.

 

thank you Joe.

 

Summertime for this teacher, so I'm only shaving every 4 to 5 days. I've only used my Gillette NEW LC and Astra blades, a synthetic brush and ARKO. Dependable clean 2 pass shaves every time.
