January 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Good evening guys. I spent the entire day supervising the loading of all of my worldly possessions into a Semi. I am too whooped to catch up on the posts. I’ll try tomorrow.
This was surreal

On a separate note, my grandson just gets cuter

He is off the scale for cuteness. Good luck with them move.

 

So they got all the straights loaded in a truck. Where is the one with all the other stuff?

@mrchick - no one is buying the "one truck theory"

Finally Saturday at last but no rest for the weary. I have a client appointment today near my Mom's house so I will go by and visit her. As usual we will go out to eat but with my dryer's demise, I will be doing a couple of loads of laundry there as well. At least I was able to start the day off with a relaxing shave. The Oleo was easy to lather and three passes with touch ups ended just short of a BBS. A splash of CC Bay Rum and I think I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 

Congrats on the move, Brian! I'm sure you're thankful to have so many great memories, and you'll soon be building new memories.

 

Hey, what happened to his smile? Well,. it's equally healthy for kids to experience THOUGHT.

 

I've thought about Atlas for my move(whenever it happens).

 

Hey Fuzzy, nice job on the videos. I enjoyed watching them both. "If you can't drive a standard, don't blame the clutch." I like it!

 

The razor looks outstanding for being 100 years old!

My Bride is adorable when she sees cute babies. She went a little weak in the knees seeing your grandson.

Well-done, Keith!

Have a nice visit with Mom, Clint. Is she going to do the laundry or are you?

Have a good weekend!

 

Good morning 30DC! Renewed focus on beard mapping merged today with another soap that will rekindle my soap review thread and yield another 2 pass DFS+. It appears that XTG, ATG Is a bit more effective for me than WTG, ATG, but both are very nice close shaves. Going 3 passes provides a good chance for Flipper to show up. Have a great Saturday!

 

I’ve been looking at the Parker’s but wasn’t sure. Thanks for the input, gentlemen!

 

If your looking for high grade half DE shavette shave it rocks!! If you want to borrow before you buy holla at da' Fuzzy one.

 

Hey thanks! I gotta bunch over there. The Fuzzyisms seem to be enjoyed..lol

 

Oh I’m doing my laundry. Each visit I do some of her laundry as well

Well I nearly gave up on this Schick E2 (dreading each shave). To the point of taking the day off from it Wednesday and shaving with my English flare for an interview. This morning, I even decided to try out my new Schick Easy Rider instead. With fresh blade in and all it was shaving like it had no blade at all. So in discuss I went back to the Schick E2 and received a very nearly BBS shave with no weepers or irritation. So that said I'll be sticking to this E2 for the 30 days. I really enjoy that it has no difficulty mowing down my hard, stiff bristles and that it can be opened easily to cleaned.

Razor: E2
Blade: Schick
Brush: Hardright Davy Jones 22mm synthetic
Soap: Stirling Island Man
After shave: Blue Steel (classic AV / Florida Water)
Shaving balm: Simpson
Results: Very near BBS, no irritation, no weepers!

 

BTW is an Schick Easy Rider normally so mild that it has a hard time with hard bristles?
