Oct 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus

Saturday shave:

Shaved a few hours later than usual and that usual leads to a nicer shave, today was no exception. The lather was very very wet and slick. The edge very smooth and still sharp despite have allot of shaves on it. Four passes to an epic shave, have a great weekend everyone.

Beautiful razor and brush Keith.

Safe travels.

 

Just think of it as the gift that keeps on giving, George.

 

One of the best SOTD pics I’ve ever seen, Doug! Nicely done.

 

I appreciate your kind words.

Another day, another shave, another first pass with the straight. No mishaps, and getting better every time. Still have to stop and think about/adjust blade angle from time to time, but It’s starting to get easier knowing when I’m dialed in and when I’m not. Cologne Russe sample is still going strong. I’m not sure it’s a scent I’ll be adding to the stable, but as with all B&M scents, I enjoy and appreciate the complexity.

 

Not a good shave from me this morning. Missed some areas I usually get.

A very good three pass shave this morning. Everything just worked so well together. The Fine L'Orange Noir is one of my favorite Fine scents. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 

Many members appear to like that as their favorite Fine, I've noticed.

 

My three favorite Fine scents in no particular order are L'Orange Noir, Platinum, and Fresh Vetiver. The order of preference seems to change with my mood.

 

I think Tom did a Gunkote, but I'm not sure it's a good comparison since he did a 3pc, not a TTO.

 

I hope the Fine Fresh Vetiver is better than that which is in L&L Grooming Marshlands. But after all, fresh means just that, right?

 

There’s that beautiful brush again, Keith. Phenomenal.
Safe travels!

 

Fine has two vetiver scents, Fresh and Green. The Fresh has a smoky earthy scent to my nose. I have never tried the Green Vetiver so I can't comment on the scent.

I do not mind at all. The razor I did was GunKote. It sprays on as a liquid. It will go everywhere. If you do not want the coating in or on something. It is as simple as masking it off, or plug the hole. The same holds true for Powder Coat.

I'll have to get the Fine Fresh. Sounds interesting. Thanks.
