MAYhem 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

So let me get this straight...
You added some water to the soap and it got moist?

 

I know. It was a radical science experiment but the result seems to be conclusive. Adding water to dry soap makes it wet. I'm hoping to have an article ready for peer review on the phenomenon shortly.

 

Keep the data safe, else it'll end up getting talked about. You know how these rumors get started. Is your Server secure?
Hey, how's the new Shave Den shaping up? Anything new since the last photo?

 

Hard to improve on that setup.

 

Keep reeling 'em in there buddy!

Fatip Day #17
Blade: Feather
Brush: Rocky Mountain
Alum
Soap/Balm/Splash : Speick

Alum was a-tingling this morning. Slightly too close. Remedial balm has fixed things so no burn as such. Whilst this has come out fine I think I was pressing a little as in a bit of a hurry. Anyway, deserves a moody black n white pic for a slightly moody shave. Have a good day folks.




And a quick moody toon'd version

 

My evil plan is well on it's way...

Except for the blooming that was a great sounding shave.

I picked up a new bottle of AV Musk yesterday. Awesome stuff. Rocking the OCMM is classy!

 

OK here then

 

Terrific picture, Keith!

 

Beautiful picture, Jim!

 

Great photo and shave Jim.

Up and moving a little slow. Good thing Asha is here to walk the pup. A very nice three pass shave this morning. As usual my lower right neck foiled by attempt at catching the baby but the shave is more than good enough for work. A splash of F&C Capri and I ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Personna
Razor: Schick G1 injector
Brush: Omega 10049 boar
Soap: Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
Post: Witch hazel, RazoRock Zi'Peppino aftershave

When you are getting consistently good and drama-free shaves, why mess it up? I'm thoroughly enjoying the titanic attempt on the Jeeves Bay Rum. It works so well. I love just having it out on the counter and not putting soaps away and getting a new one out every day. It's a little more simplistic, which is good for me this time of year.

In any event, easy and effective shave this morning. The G1 was terrific as usual, the lather was superb, and I like the RazoRock splashes pretty well. All came together nicely.

Enjoy your day!
