November 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thanks Andrew!

 

Also keep adding water a few drops at a time until the lather has a high gloss sheen to it. you will be surprised how much water you can add.

 

After a touch up with the Naniwa 12K and a few strops on felt sprayed with .5 micron diamond spray, today’s shave was much better than yesterdays. (Note: not to alarm you, but if you understood that sentence, you just might be a shave geek.). Anyway, although I’m not doing the no no variation, I am switching around gear quite a bit this month. Doing so has reinforced the fact that I think synthetics are too soft, and explains why I seldom reach for them. That is all. Carry-on fellow shave geeks!

 

Beautiful picture, Jim!

Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather Professional

Another outstanding shave with the Blackland Vecto. The lighter head seems to make a big difference in manouverability and control. Although the Almuigoose is also lighter it is much bigger in overall size. The Vector is an outstanding SE razor.

 

Nice photos and shaves, Jim and Doug!

 

Thank you very much Perry.
