June 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Hot Diggity! Got my set of SS & AS ordered. Been contemplating an Old Spice scented soap so I added a puck of Spice to go in a vintage Shulton mug.

Uggh. It was a toss up which I ordered first - the -19 LE SS & AS or the brush. Jason's pieces are beautiful! I'm going to start flipping couch cushions and digging under car seats.

 

So today's shave was the Stick Schick with a Japanese Twin blade, Razorock Plissoft 22 brush, and mystery (mostly Williams) soap. Great as always.

 

Razor: Above The Tie Bamboo Handle SE1
Blade: Feather Professional (2)
Brush: H.L. Thater Funf TSN LE Butterscotch Beehive 5th Anniversary 2 Band
Soap: Crown King Atomic Age Bay Rum
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Bay Rum

Super shave with these tools.

 

Fantastic lineup Joseph. AOS Sandalwood is such a great scent.

It's Cultural, Paul. Depending on where you grew up your pet might be their meat. South Americans grow Guinea Pigs as big a rabbits, and eat them. Europeans, especially the French enjoy horse meat. Being Cajun born those crawfish Joe @Trigger doesn't like the look of? That's a plate full of tiny lobster to me. I understand both the English and Chinese use the bristle of badgers for brushes and don't waste the food. I'm not a fan of raw oysters, but batter dipped and fried works. I'd eat cardboard if it was batter dipped and fried.

I'll second Andrews numbers, though my thrift store shopping mindset might bargain for $5 on user grade DE razors unless in a decent case. I did pay $14 for an Old Spice mug - one of the original ceramic type.

As happens with many makers, the later models tent towards milder shaves. I dropped my Schick Stick (the four speed) into The Traveling Box. It works but required more passes for me to be satisfied. That and the ball end shifter handle wouldn't fit in my razor rack.

 

Thank you Andrew.

Thank you my friend.

 

The new cabinet looks awesome, despite being light on gear, Charlie. We’ll have to get @clint64 back on the enabling horse. In the meantime, if you want to try a new soap or two or thirty-seven, just let me know.

 

Looks like you’re getting some sunshine at last.

Thank you Clint! I am doing well how about yourself?

 

Yes Clint. Rained last night and a little this morning. Other than that, all is good.

 

Beautiful picture, Clint!

 

Thank you, Joe!

 

Terrific picture, Danny!

 

Pretty picture, Blair! Cool razor.

 

Joseph, nice pic and shave! Moderate improvement is very significant as far as I am concerned. Props to you!

 

That's a nice haul, Patrick!

 

Douglas, very, very, nice!

 

Thank you much! Your words are kind. It's hard to respond differently than your usual replies. I try to mix up my responses. It doesn't work often.
