July 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Perry, that's a definite cool shave. Great minds think alike because I also shaved this evening and used the cooling Aqua Velva to finish it.

 

That could be the key to Micks longevity.

 

Nice shave, Danny! I haven't graduated to Feather blades just yet! I am afraid of Natalia the Amazon. Lol!

 

Some more vacation pics. These were taken in North Umbria at Hadrian's Wall. Those Scotts can be a troublesome bunch.

 

With their kilts and all ...yes.

 

Monday back to work shave: When I arrived a Gillette Toggle was waiting for me, she came via a trade with Jim @Norcalnewb . I always wanted to try one of these so I prepared my favorite DE blade a Iridium Super and got to work. I opened her up all the way and while I wish it was more aggressive I did get an excellent shave. Now back to making the donuts.
Razor: Gilette Toggle
Brush: Joris
Soap: 30DC LE first edition
AS: Fine Vetiver AS, Stirling ASB
Scent: Creed Tabarome

 

Thanks, Patrick! Razorock made a quick recovery from my previous attempts shaving with it.

 

Nice shave Keith. Donuts eh? Mmmmm

I see that. What was the problem with it before Joe?

 

Just July 2019

July 21

Razor - Gillette New LC Delta Echo Edition
Blade - (2)
Soap - Stirling Port au Prince
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Post - Alum

It's Sunday and that means it's time for some SHEEP!! Stirling mutton tallow it is and for tonight I chose the Port au Prince. Haitian Vetiver and Lemongrass combine to make it one that I'm loving more and more. It's a subtle scent but definitely there and it makes for a great relaxing shave while the mutton tallow provides extra slickness, protection, and that unbeatable post-shave feel. Sticking, of course, with the New LC and Voskhod for the hardware, and adding the Wolf Whiskers Silvertip to create that legendary Stirling lather.

​

I've been slightly under the weather all day with my usual ailments but once I started the shave I was able to let the pain and frustration of the day melt away as I spent three slow and deliberate passes on getting down to a BBS. I even held onto a handful of the lather I squeezed out of the brush at the end and just enjoyed the sensation and scent. Yep. I feel much better.

A new week has launched! We're 10 days away from the end of the month and here comes Adjustable (Arko) August!! If you wanna play along with the theme get those adjustables out and shined up, or that Arko back on the shelf. And, of course, if you wanna play along without the theme that works just as well. Have a great Monday!!

definitely mick's but not mr richards..

 

Very nice setup Neal. Btw Jake Allen from the Blues will be in town here tomorrow. My daughter (who's also a goalie) and I are going to see him and maybe get a pic or 2 .

 

Keith's is just plain old voodoo. Love watching him play " loves in vain" from the Stripped album. Just wow.

 

he is an awesome guitarist and he's well preserved..

 

nice shave sir..

 

First, the scents were very faint even with my nose in the tin. More importantly, the lather was not slick and thick enough that I cut myself shaving. The difference tonight was that I really loaded it and really hydrated my beard by preshaving with the bloom water and lather in the tin and not on the brush. Razorock loves water, but you have to add a little at a time.

 

very cool sir..awesome pics..

 

I take back what I said.........

Great swap for both of you!

 

nice razor sir..one day..
