September 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

It's a rough time....my mom's friend from college days told me that losing your Dad is bad enough(he's gone too), but losing your MOTHER is difficult(and it has been for me, even after 2 years).

 

For me the razor makes a bigger difference, but thats just me. Short handle with large hands feels a bit weird, easier to hold the angle with a long handle.
Can't wait to try the Arko. I think i'll use it with my Razorock synth, feels easier to make lather with it, i haven't completely adjusted to the boars.
Today i used a brand new blade.

 

Nice, Joe!
I've been experimenting with my Stirling lather each morning. Amazed at how much water this stuff will take.

 

I'm just West of Ottawa. We should be getting the same weather.

 

Thanks, Patrick!

 

We are always here for you Danny.

 

Nice haul, Charlie! Let us know how the conversion goes.

 

Finnish is a weird language, not the easiest one to learn.

 

I noticed that Amigo.

 

Give them some of both, that way they can compaire Russian steel to the superior Japanese blades. Also if you can't handle the feathers Charlie, I can PM my address to you to take them off your hands. I'm down below 300 feathers and need to stock up anyway. Don't worry, they'll be used with joy here.
Thanks in advance.

Remember, Charlie, I look a lot like you, so what does your self-assessment say about ME? Well, I'll answer part of that....I am the fun-loving type, and at 62 that can be a good thing. This is why I say once again that I am "An East Coast Man With A West Coast State of Mind".

 

Thanks Perry! Lately, I have been playing with different lathering techniques to prevent my shaves becoming routine. Although I only have four brushes, I have noticed they all behave differently. For instance, I would get a better Williams lather with my Omega boar, than my Rocky synthetic. I am at the point in my wet shaving career that I have to choose the right brush for certain soaps.

 

Even the NAME is odd, but what else could it be called...."Finlandish???"

 

Keep care of yourself Danny

I prefer a short handle as i feel clumsy with the longer handles lol!
It certainly is a YMMV thing.

 

I think your friends are going to thank you for bringing them into the wetshaving fraternity. By the way Charlie, you are going to love that Stirling boar brush!

 

Gibberish?

 

Thank you, Gary!

Thanks Jim!

Beautiful shot Mark!

Excellent shave Patrick!

Fantastic composition, Jim!!

Excellent shave Gary!

Great photo, Perry!

Cool photo Jim!

Awesome shot Clint!

That is my favorite coffee to brew in the Keurig, Charlie!

Excellent shave Terry! The grandkids look wide awake for such an early hour!

Keep at it, Daniel! You'll get the razor figured out soon!

Beautiful setup Blair! You have the coolest custom Kamis!

Fantastic shave Joseph! I had a feeling... and to think this is going to be GD's budget soap.

Wonderful shot Doug! I could help but to sing "home on the range" in my head!

Wonderful shave Jason! That soap may hold on longer then you think.

Very nice, Evan! Make sure you have the cap of the razor almost flat against your skin.

Wonderful shave Joe!

Very Generous Charlie! They are going to enjoy it!

 

Me too, if the handle is very heavy. Thats why i have the Feather Popular and Gillette Slim Twist. The balance of them works very well for me.

 

That part was hard for me to explain the first time too.
