April 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

So we're going there are we?

 

Well this is the un-hijackable thread.

 

Wow. Thanks for making me feel better about my handle question, guys!

 

Glad you've got your travel kit squared up Charlie...even if you drive a Toyota.

 

I hadn't had a chance to jump in on this yet but I'm definitely in! I'll have to remember to always speak of the Feather SS as being the finest pain stick made - no mention of the lip on it. Although I am man enough to handle a pink razor.

 

Why yes, yes they do.

 

I totaled the only Camry I've owned. Darn shame.

 

Where is your sense of adventure....you longing for wide open..errr..veins or some such poetic...stuff?

 

My older (2003) Ram Hemi got totalled in December. I drive a older expedition now. Go me.

 

Stick around. It goes way farther off base than that.

 

Too funny.

 

Yes, but only in Spanish.

 

Thank you!

 

Thanks amigo!

Yesterday I received this minty Soviet era straight in the mail. It is probably lucky for the free world that not everything they produced was as good a quality as this razor, or we would all be wearing drab brown right now.

The razor was advertised as shave ready, and I was skeptical of course, but the edge looked good, so I hit it with a few strokes of CrOx and went for it. This razor had the best edge of any straight sent to me yet, and gave me one of the best straight shaves I have had to date. The 11/16 hardened (stainless?) blade doesn't have a ton of flex to it, and the super sharp edge reminded me a ton of using a Feather. It also reminded me that I have already grown complacent in my technique and rewarded me with a couple of weepers from going hurriedly.

Ultimately I am kind of amazed that with a little patience a guy can still find such minty examples of these, and buy them for the same price as picking up an EJ on Amazon.

My son has a recital today, so we are about to hit the road. Will catch up later, hope you guys all have a fantastic day.
