April 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

How big of one do you need? Is 4 holes big enough?

 

Awesome April

Day Eleven - The Arko Challenge



It's Monday! That means Osage, which is to be applied briskly for that all over tingly feeling, though I didn't get nuts with it. Parker SRX, Voskhod 10/30, this is how I do it:

Cold water mild soap wash
Arko application
Damp brush
Kung fu
BBS

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

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

Too funny!

Yeaaaaaaa....... That might have been a poor choice of words. But it's 0045 I am at work and I did not get much sleep yestetday. Best excuse I got.

 

Works for me.

 

Thanks very much Charlie. The brush is excellent. Great fit and very easy to load. I like the Red, White & Blue. Probably no surprise.

 

Thanks very much. Mark has one also.

 

And I thought I had a rough day but at least the shave went well. Hope Tuesday is better for you.

 

More and more I'm beginning to buy into the theory of De-evolution every time I turn on the news.

Colonial Razors “The General”
Feather Pro (4)
WDC-8 with Druida Manchurian
Reef Point Dragon’s Blood

​

The WDC-8 destroyed the last of the Dragon's Blood soap this morning. I have enjoyed the soap but can't say I am said to see it gone. I'll finish off the week with another Reef Point soap. With a nice slick lather, I decided to mix things up a little and go with a two pass shave. In order to get my normal results, I had to spend more time on clean ups. While the General is efficient it is not as efficient as the AlumiGoose V1. I will give the Feather Super Pro/General combo a try in the future. I finished off the shave with a splash of Fine Platinum. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

 

Very good picture and setup Clint. I find Dragon's Blood soap to be a bit of a contradiction. There are times when I am very pleased with the soap and other times not so much.

 

Thank you Doug. While Dragon's Blood always provides a wonderful slick lather, the scent causes me to feel just like you. Some days I enjoy it and other days not at all.

 

Beautiful picture, Clint!

Stirling Synthetic Brush
CB Rowan's Citrus Spice SS
Gem 1912
Stirling Unscented PSB
Two Girls Florida Water AS

It was a very nice shave this morning, almost effortless. The soap was slick, and the razor was smooth. Not much else to say about it. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

All depends on the number of razors you have. Mine holds 8 and the humidor holds quite a few blades. The rest are in a test tube rack.

Nice and efficient shave again this morning with the 1912. Couple of weepers on my chin but nothing too bad. They went away with the cold rinse. Otherwise a smooth and enjoyable shave.

Have a great day!

 

OOORAH!
