July 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Excellent post, Adam! I've said it several times now, but Gems seem to be under-appreciated razors. They're normally inexpensive, and they're great shavers.

 

Glad to see you back, Simon. Also pleased to hear you're getting good results with the R89.
Enjoy as much time as you can with your father. He appreciates it, and you will too.
Congrats on the new-to-you razors. I look forward to hearing how you like them.

 

Awesome photo, as per usual, Jim!

 

Great photo and report, Perry! I wondered about how the Hussy razors would feel in use, if they'd be awkward to hold...apparently not!
I hope the heat wasn't too unbearable this week. Have a great Saturday!

 

Fantastic report and photo, Joseph! The brush looks awesome, too!

 

Thank you gentlemen.

 

Thank you, Bruce!

Good, learning is a life long habit. I know what mean about the Tabac, I've used a lot, and barely have indentation.

Is there a UPS garage in your neighborhood?

 

Suggestion-someone might want to take down the St.Louis Meetup survey.

 

For my neck it grows w to e one side and opposite on the other. For the first pass I go n to s holding the blade opened up all the way so the scales are almost on the spine. For the second and third pass the razor is held more like a Kamisori to go accross the grain from n to s and s to n. A smiling blade works quite a bit better for the accross the neck pass.

 

Thank you, Jim!

Thank you, Jim!

Thank you, Bruce! The Hussy has a slight learning curve but nothing too drastic. Just keep the top cap on my face and the angle finds itself. Smooth sailing after that. Great razor.
The heat wasn't too bad last week! Everyone did quite well.

 

Sure thing, Paul. We have options. I use UPS when I need speedy delivery, but you can't beat FedEx for convenient package drop-off.




@mrchick uses UPS exclusively. It's fun to watch 'em back out of his driveway.

 

LOL....Course you know what I always say when I see a UPS(Or FedX for that matter)entering the complex driveway here-"How can that be, I didn't order anything!"(Nice unselfish thing of me to say, right?). Y'know, that UPS garage could have easily been a Greyhound Bus terminal.

 

And one more thing to add, @wristwatchb -in honor of the late guitarist Eddie Rabbitt(some of whose songs I like a lot):

Hey waitress pour me
Another cuppa coffee
Pop it down, jack me up
Shoot me out, flyin down the highway
Lookin for my baaaaaa-by.

OOH, I'm drivin my life away...(you know the rest).

Note -did he work for UPS when he wasn't performing?

 

Love the picture Jim. How cold is the soap and aftershave?

 

Thank you Jim.

 

Great shave, photo and commentary Perry. Hope you're have a great weekend.

 

Great shave and photo Primo. I am on my second bottle of the Fine Lavender aftershave. It is some good stuff. I need to try the soap.

 

Thank you Bruce. Just shows photos are illusions. The razor and brush are on top of my fence with a Cypress Tree behind. Adjusting the camera makes it look much more interesting than it deserves. The lunch went off well. Now all the ladies and house guests are napping.
