March 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

No I haven't but if they have a knock off of the Samoans - I don't need to know. Talk about a cookie made out of crack!

 

Sure you do!

Sorry to hear about the bad shave Carl. What do you think was the cause?

Day 59.

One tiny nicklet under the nose, and one on the chin today. Barely bled. Otherwise, a great shave. Three passes with the Ralf Aust, one with the Piccolo.

With the stick out of the way, my attention has turned to the Haslinger. It's been a while. I'd forgotten just how awesome this stuff is. I have a puck of the newer non-tallow schafmilch I need to get out, too. I loved it using a DE, but the straights are a different test altogether.

 

Monday morning March 4 - Fat Monday



Delta Echo refurbished Gillette Fatboy on 4 / Rapira Swedish Supersteel (1)
Simpsons CH2 Chubby ( "fat") Synthetic Bristles brush
MWF Kent-branded version in beechwood tub
Alum and Polar Ice Booster splash

I missed shaving on Fat Friday so for my first shave in March I did Fat Monday instead - fat razor, fat brush and of course The Fat itself. Topped off with a mildly icy splash as a nod to Menthol Monday. The Fat has been sadly neglected by me in recent months, as shown by its sad state in today's photo. In its glory days when fully hydrated by regular use, the puck filled the tub. It is now shrunken and covered with cracks. Nonetheless, when called upon today, it roused itself from its wizened torpor and provided a noble lather. The fresh Russian steel in its Gillette holder then easily mowed down four days of stubble in two easy passes, leaving me DFS+ smoooth. A few spritzes of Polar Ice Booster finished a great shave.

I am getting used to my new work schedule now, so I should be around the 30DC thread more in March than I was earlier this year. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with the Crew.

 

I understand you're wanting to revert back to the cart. It gives you a successful shave, however, I would suggest that you are porting the cart "technique" over to the Slim. Specifically too much pressure. A cart allows for that---even requires it, but the DE will penalize you severely for it. I would, after your neck heals, go back to the Slim and stick with it. Every day, with the lightest of pressure---WTG only for the time being. Imagine you are removing the lather, not the stubble. Be satisfied with less than BBS results for a couple of weeks. See if that helps.

 

I had to look that one up, John.

 

Nice shave, John!

 

Nice shave and photo, Robert!

 

Grr shave Brian. I hope things go much better for you this week.

March Focus

Hemingway Accoutrements Shave Crème~~Rubberset 400/3~~Portland 1905~~Alt Innsbruck
SR #35
Back for more goodness with the newly acquired HASC. Today, I chose to face-lather it with the Rubberset
and the results were more satisfying than yesterday's bowl lather.
Don't ask me why, but the lather stayed juicier, shinier, less airy (I know why that was) and the slickness
was astounding. The scent is best described as a masculine cologne, with a hint of daring adventure.
The Portland whisked away the whiskers with wonderful whimsy.
The attempt at a new grip for a right-sided ATG pass was rewarded with a couple of minor weepers.
Note to self: keep both hands on the wheel.
I don't know what made me choose the Alt Innsbruck. It doesn't pair well and for those of you
that still have a memory, you should recall that this juice has begun to separate.
Next stop...down the proverbial drain.
Not sure if I will replace it.
Although, when I shave with I Coloniali, a fresh squirt of the Alt Innsbruck is superb...​

 

Nice post, photo, and alliteration, Joseph!

 

For March Madness I'm going to focus on the New LC Open comb I received courtesy of @John Ruschmeyer . I have to be extra careful as I've netted myself a few weepers before with an Open comb.

One question on the open combs...should the blade show equally on both sides? For some reason it seems like there is more blade exposure on one side than the other...I've checked the blade placement and it seems to be ok. Not sure if it's just an anomaly or I'm loading something wrong.

 

Thanks Perry...I got a million of 'em...Hot cha cha cha chaaa.

 

Just look for these. Year round. More in a pack. Less expensive.

 

Thanks, Clint!

 

Great. My blood sugar just jumped 50 points. I will be going by a few Aldi's today, though. Hmmmmmmmm.

 

If you like the Tagalongs - ( who doesn't??) Aldi's version is very close to the original. Matter of fact, my wife and I prefer them to the real deal. Not by a huge margin - but yes, prefer the knockoffs.
Looking forward to your review(s).
