[quote="Douglas Carey, post: 914147, member: 13849"...

Had a few Wild Turkeys in the back yard this afternoon. Looked out front and there where another 14 I counted. Usually happens this time of year.

So, don't keep us in suspense. How did they taste?

 

Don't worry Herm....I think I found your Mongoose by my mailbox today....When will you be by to pick her up.?

 

I'm back; after a one shave stray (for scientific comparisons); to my 30 Day Focus with my Schick Simplified Automatic Razor.....gotta love that name...}8^D

Hot Whisker Rinse
Arko Shave Stick-Da Lather Bomb
Omega 10029 Huge lather from a small package
1933 Schick Simplified Automatic Razor-who woulda thought my coolest razor would also turn out to be my best !
EMS/Personna

This Schick C3 repeater is this Shave Cave's new Home Run King....How many times at bat, and this Slugger has put it over the fence everytime....Crowd goes wild....Film and Story at 11:00

 

Super busy day for me, will get caught up tomorrow! Have a great Saturday!

 

Nice baseball metaphors Mr.B, the hits just keep on coming!

 

Like Bill, the swedes surprised me too.

Apparently, it's Myrsol time. La Toja too, Kerry says it's almost free, he's right.

MdC is a good value at 1/3 gram per day. And FB on nine...now with less bleeding and irritation. I am on 8, will try nine soon.

@Joef - hang in there my brother! Make killer lather then just shave. Don't try to integrate everything all at once, just shave. It won't be long until it gets way better!

Rufus has worked out a dopp kit blade schedule, and has some cool baseball cards.

I thought Clint was drinking Wild Turkey in his yard at first...

Herm has been under duress.

Neal, well, you know the drill. I used a Treet today in solidarity.

John is cruising the old type.

@wmbjr - welcome to the Petrograd faction. I'll show you the handshake sometime soon.

Mark living the dream in paradise. Ikon is a cool razor head.

What's up Paul? ... Clubman Tonic today.

@Bird Lives has a new flame.

(I know this is an odd one-off posting, please know if I didn't write about you, it doesn't mean I didn't read it, it probably means I've been awake too long and didn't insert the reply correctly on my phone. Normally I post from Mac or IPad, so android phone tapatalk is a bit unfamiliar. Puppy is keeping me awake all night. Apologies)

I shaved too! Here's the short version...



(This is in no way an official summary, please contact Rufus or Drygulch for the most up to date summary info. But see, I got caught up.)

Back to normal shenanigans, with any luck, tomorrow.

Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

 

Clint nailed it Joef, as he always does!

The quiet room, "ride the cap" (doors), drop the handle ever so slightly - til you hear the whiskers being sliced, and then no pressure - don't press into the skin, let the weight of the razor pull itself through.

And remember, it's a shave man! Relax and practice. Rome wasn't built in a day. Don't rush it, just build your technique one day at a time over the course of 6 - 8 weeks and and before you know it you'll be amazed at how far you've come!

Oh yeah, one more thing, if you're coming off a long time with carts...skip a day from time to time to give your skin a break. When I first started this wetshaving routine, after a lifetime of carts, I was so keen that I shaved for about 15 days straight! Something I NEVER did with carts. My skin wasn't used to it and I was getting irritation and razor bumps. Now I stick to shaving every day for work but take at least 1 day off on the weekend.

Hang in there!

 

Yeowzer!

@Drygulch i think you and I have officially been replaced as official 30DC Secretary and Post Summarizers (if there is such a word)

The Grand Poohbah of the 30-Day thread just showed us yet another of his top notch skills - with a summary that would have dropped the jaws on any Readers Digest editor.

The whole time I thought I was watching the scene from Bull Durham...
("Well, candlesticks always make a nice gift.")

 

I loved those readers digest books, my favorites were A Tale of a City, and The Two Musketeers.

 

Mine was "An Arabian Night."

 

And don't forget Around the World in Twenty Days.

 

And, readers digest books are so verbose and full of bloated prose, I usually just read the summary.

 

And who'll ever forget that sci-fi classic 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea!

 

Or "Catch - 1 or 2"

 

Slaughterhouse 3

 

I wonder just how many high school boys walked into bookstores the night before a book report was due, hoping and praying they had a copy of Cliff's Notes for War and Peace.

 

The Raisins of Wrath.

 

Cliff's Notes.

Hey wait, summary of Reader's Digest version of the 30-Day Thread - Chris Notes

 

Oh... And Charlie is having a good focus, but can't really say he's gaining new techniques... But, still a trooper.

 

Wait, what?!!!

You're going the other way! That's an expansion.

How about - One Day Morning in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
