September 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

They are a water catcher but great razors.

 

Thanks Clint hope the work load is easy today!

 

Awesome shave and I love the tater peeler. Should have paired it with the tater brush. Nice picture and have a great day. Congrats on the no buy weekend!

 

Pretty picture, Clint!
I had no adult beverages this weekend and made a few internet purchases.
Hmm, maybe I need to rethink my approach.

 

great shave and pic sir..

 

very cool Perry..have a fine day sir..

 

..oh boy..

 

good morning Terry..nice shave..

 

Thank you, Clint! Great photo. Looks like you've got the Speick cream on the road to completion.

 

awesome..

 

I asked Glen @gssixgun one time if he knew what the edge grind angle was on a DE blade. I do not recall the specific number, but it was several degrees less acute than the geometry of a straight provides for.

I don't know if I ever declared disposable blades to be sharper than straights or not, but in the sense of edge grind angle, technically they would not be sharper.

I do find a DE shavette to sever my facial hair with slightly less force than my best cutting straights. The thinness of the blade and the coatings applied are credited there for sure.

I am interested in your test findings. My first straight (a half hollow, taped spine honing) was/is an very smooth tool to use.

 

Thank you, Gary!

 

cool shave Danny..was it an autostrop by chance?

 

great shave Clint..have a fine tuesday sir..

 

Excellent shave and post, Keith! I agree that shaving the chin and the moustache area against the grain tells you about blade sharpness. Also, placing more pressure than usual is definitely a sign that the blade needs to be refreshed or fully honed.

 

It is a nice shave and post, John!

 

Very nice shave and pic, Jim!

 

Thanks Jim
Ya know, I'm not sure, never looked it up.
It just looked cool, then I found it shaved wonderful. Let me check and I'll get back to you.
