April 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

The skin stretching is one tip I picked up from our brothers on the Dark Side. I usually take advantage of it on my first pass to try and get a good shot at my jawline. Works great.

 

Very funny rabbit.

 

Whoo hoo! I finally got a unicorn!

Do you have an Alum bar? If so, run wet fingers on it to give them grip on wet, soapy skin. This was a game changer for the quality of my shaves.

 

Well, unlike everyone else here, I will give you an honest and unbiased opinion of those handles -- they're dreadful. In fact, they're so awful that you need to get rid of them immediately - by mailing them to me.

Now, while you are thinking about that, just imagine I am holding a pocket watch in front of your eyes and swinging it back and forth, back and forth on its chain. Follow the imaginary pocket watch with your eyes -- back and forth, back and forth. You are getting veery sleeepy... You are getting an irresistible urge to get rid of your awful brush handles by mailing them to Screwtape because he's such a nice, friendly, trustworthy guy....

So, can I expect to get those horribly dreadful handles soon, , or do I need to demand my $50 back from my course on How To Hypnotize People Over The Internet Into Giving You Their Stuff?

Serously, your dad does excellent woodwork and the figuring on that piece of wood he used is gorgeous.

 

Thanks...I think. I looked it up and apparently Sayuri means either 'small lily' or is a term of endearment for a girl in Japanese. That is somewhat comforting, as I was worried it might be a direct translation to 'stupid barbarian' or 'cuban necktie'.
Is this a good time to acknowledge that I have never used an open blade of any kind? Peer pressure is a nasty thing...

 

I hope this isn't some sort of reference that we will be squealing like a little Japanese girls after attempting to use them!

 

Happy Easter!

 

Peer pressure can also lead to fun new experiences.
On the positive side, it's a small blade that won't leave as big a scar as a full size straight
Glad you stepped up. It will be fun.

 

Any words of samurai wisdom and instruction would certainly be appreciated prior to undergoing this foolishness!

 

Looking forward to it...I mean, what's the worst that can happen anyway?

 

You'll have a good time.

What's the worst that could happen with a pink razor?

My words of wisdom:

Don't let the blade penetrate your skin.
Don't get nuts with Osage.

Carry on.

 

You're a brave dude.

Your best hope is to go watch the shave test video by @gssixgun

It's pretty much what I did.

 

Remember these words. " Hold my beer and watch this"

 

You do know a good plastic surgeon right?

 

Put him on speed dial

After reciting the final poem, maintain an iron face, thrust in deep and low with unhesitating strength, then immediately rip the blade upward as far and fast as your failing strength will allow....

Oh, sorry. Those are the classic instructions for committing seppuku (aka hari-kari) like a true samurai. My mistake. For advice on shaving safely with "little lilies" I got nothing...

 

I'm Alabama, it's "Hey Y'all! Watch this..." followed shortly by the announcement for the memorial.

No good southern story ever started with "Once upon a time..."
