SEPT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

I have never seen the Dettol before. Thanks for the quick review. I was about to look it up!

 

The Crazy Ivan in SEptember!
September 3

Razor - Gem 1912 Blade - (3)
Brush - Vie-Long 12601
Soap - Proraso
Post - Cold water, Alum, Nivea, Proraso

Final day of the '12 Gem and I'm sorry it's ending. I am seriously impressed with this razor and am happy I finally discovered it. One of those things collecting dust until the whole SEptember thing came up so there you go....another great help from TSD. Used the pony and went to Proraso thanks to @Rufus T. mentioning it yesterday. I kind of forget I have it around when I'm so enamored with Tabac and MWF. Great easy and effective lather today. Great two pass DFS as well with no problems at all. Loved it. Some irritation but nothing major and I finished up with Proraso A/S to keep it going.

The Crazy Ivan hits in the morning when I go to the EJ DE89l with an unknown Chinese blade, the Blendax. Looking forward to it. I think. Can't be as bad as the Wounded Walrus now can it.

Jealous of your Gem shave, mostly because I'd like to get to the first of my 5 GEMs. Perhaps November, December? Nice to hear your positive review of it, gives me more to look forward to.

As for the rest of your review...are you telling me that two people the likes of us are walking through our towns wearing the same AS?!!!

 

Well great minds and classy guys do think and act a lot alike you know.

 

Well as long as you don't start shaving your head...I can't follow you down that path - Lest i be mistaken for the Great Pumpkin with my oversized round noggin!

 

Ummmm.....I already shave my head. Every Sunday, Merkur 23c, VDH Soap and Boar Brush and an Astra SP. I just don't mention it often since it's only a once a week thing.

 

Well ok, but just don't start shaving your...um...pits! Yeah, that's it! That's where I really draw the line!

(Edit - and this was what I had to say on my 1000th TSD post?!!
Sheesh, how profound!)

 

Ummmm.......yeah, me too.

 

Pheew!
Ok I can breathe again.

 

just now getting to the party, and it's already the 3rd (barely) ...

i don't have an SE to use for this focus. however, i was quite fortunate to come across a birthday SS flair tip in the Nationwide Box Tour#2. so, i'm gonna conduct a blade focus with my new razor.

the goods:
pre: dr.bronner's, PSO(diy)
brush: omega 10065 boar
lather: proraso green/red soap
razor: gillette I2 SS flair tip
blades: Top 10 Sampler Plus One
post: alum block, thayer's witch hazel (various flavors)



i'll be going through the blades in alphabetical order. my first two shaves are already in the books ... with the Astra SP.

i'll catch up soon with those details.

 

Welcome to the 30-day crew!
And congrats on the great pull - birthday flair tip!
I've got two more stops before the box gets to me. Hope you left some goodies for me!

 

Be well! I hope you take care of biz and join back up when you can.

 

Welcome aboard! Flare Tips are great shavers! Look forward to your month with us!

 

I forgot to mention I had a shave buddy this evening. My daughter joined me for a couple of passes. She says it's good for her skin. She wouldn't let me take a picture of her all lathered up, but here's one of her doing homework with the dog.

 

Day 3 - SEptember 2015

30 Long Days of Schick G



I used too much pressure for the angles I was holding.



If you do what I did today, use this. It helps. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

Have a fabulous Friday!
​

 

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Better days ahead.

 

Why thanks! I just had one of those days. It was two pass automatic, but definite and visible jawline and mustache and neck irritaion. I am just gonna get back to basics tomorrow. I'll get there.

 

And at least you'll never forget what you posted for your 1000th.

 

Oh my, parallel universe. My daughters' puppy at 2 months, he's 9 months now. Looks pretty similar.
