August 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Very nice, Joe. What are you going to do when you hit 100 for Shavette shaves? do you have a new plan?

 

Hmmm... they must have changed them up. My two 100 packs of Nacets from IB are definitely 20 packs of 5 each. They are both a year or two old, though.

 

Now that I see it has pins I think it is an Above the Tie top cap.

Love the Florida Water, Andrew! A fave of mine as well. That looks like the only prototype so far that was put together in someone's garage! Some of the others look really cool, that one looks like someone melted a handle with a barbeque starter and pressed them together.

 

The last 300 Nacets I got from IB were in 10 blade tucks.

I had a Swiss Army watch about 30 years ago, Rick. It was a quality timepiece.

 

Thanks Joe!

I think you're right about that being an ATT top cap. My S1 slant has little pins like that.

Thanks Jason! The other one is glued in a similar manner but the heads are in a much better position relative to each other.

Well, I don't believe that you are aware that I reached 100 straight razor shaves last week. By the end of this month, I will also have 100 shavette shaves which will make me a 100 / 100 man. I will probably have one or two shaves left after I reach 100 shavette shaves and join the adjustable theme this month. Sept is school safety month so I will only use safety razors next month. I will probably have straight razor withdrawal syndrome because it will be the longest window without straight shaving.

 

If I remember correctly mine arrived in a ziploc bag rather than being attached to a card which surprised me.

What do you get when you cross a Gem Parade with a Karve? Pictures are below. I had been wanting to do this for a while and finally found a cheap Gem to bead blast. Once it gets a little patina on the head it will match up nice.

 

Mine too, makes me wonder if Joe worked out a special bulk production run.

Boy, ya had me fooled

 

3x Yes. I have 3 traditional grind kamisoris. All New Azuma brand bought as a set from a Japanese barber (if the listing was accurate). Each different in size/length. I've resurrected two of them by following honing videos from gssixgun. He has 3 very useful kamisori specific videos on the YT.

 

Thanks, Jim!

 

That is so cool.

 

Thanks guys..........that is what I was thinking as well. Now I need an Above the Tie base plate.................oh no.............I am enabling myself!
