Do we see a pattern here for today????

 

Good advice-after all, can you imagine getting into a good shave and suddenly letting out a "OMG I FORGOT TO (fill in the blank)"?

 

Yesterday was the first day that I did not shave since last Christmas so I woke up this morning with some substantial whiskers. I lathered up and went to work with my Feather AC SS and a Feather Professional blade. I was blown away with how this thing just wiped my face clean. I had a one pass CCS + with some areas DFS. All it took was a second cleanup pass to get a DFS. I really am starting to like this razor and I intend to keep it in the rotation.
Thank you to all of up you that encouraged and helped me this month!

On a side note. I just realized how much these 30 day threads did for my participation in this forum and how much it helped my technique. I have now done five monthly focuses and have increased the quality of my shaves tenfold. I'm starting to think I could shave with a rusty can lid. Just have to keep the correct angle and pressure
I just realized that I now have 2000 posts, much to my wife's dismay. I don't hardly post elsewhere anymore because you guys and gals are the most helpful friendly group up there. Thank you!
If you haven't done a focus yet, join us for December.

 

Well said! As for the tin can lid just name the brand of can and I'm sure we can put a brotherhood together. Congrats on the 2000 post mark! You're averaging 6.79 posts per day since you joined up and that's not a bad number at all. Like you, I tend to stay on here all the time. I don't know if I've even made 50 posts on B&B and I've been a member there a little over a year. Just can't find the quality of people, conversation, and topics anywhere else.

 

Since I have become such a fan of Feather, I suggest we stay with Japanese products for our can lid brotherhood. I like this can because the lid has a substantial straight edge and I anticipate nice two pass shaves. Join me brothers!

 

Nice choice. Plus who doesn't like roasted eel as a pre-shave treat?

 

These 30 day focus threads are fantastic. Like you my technique has improved greatly from participating. I also, think that the regular participants get to know each other better making the thread more entertaining. Looking forward to December.

 

You are correct. I actually like you guys now

 

Well let's not get crazy about it. "Like" is a strong word.

 

The 30-Day Focus Thread is my favorite. I find my technique has improved with both SE and DE razors. I enjoyed the antics, winced at the fails, and have become a big fan of the 30-Day Crew. I'm ready for December.

 

It's a little more than like

 

Fails? What fails? I don't see any fails. Always perfect shaves, 100% of the time.

 

Cuts=fails. So sorry you misunderstood comrad.

 

Then you really should try the Tiger 3H blade. When I tried one, I really felt I was living in a post-apocalyptic world where I had to shave with the lid of a ration tin honed on a bit of rubble.

That said, I have to agree with you about the focuses. I did one back in October and it really improved my technique and understanding of my face.

Cuts? What cuts? I don't recall any cuts. Never here. Nope, denying they even exist.

 

The only thing worse would be doing a clean up pass after the Tiger with a Flying Eagle.

 

No thank you

 

Congrats on 2000! Sounds like your wife and my wife have much in common.

 

I'll take his word for it, since he sent them to me. Which ever one, I do like it. I am in danger of not needing a shave tomorrow, except one or two little, tiny patches. This was probably more of a DFS + shave, minus the two patches.
