January 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

@jluc and @b1hart, I think we have made a slight error in this month. We probably should have secured some sort of group discount from PAA as I can tell I will likely make an unplanned purchase or two this month looking at the scents I haven't tried. Surely all of this enabling must be worth something to them.

 

What's this about a "group discount from PAA"?

 

Wonderful scent and shave on "Little Christmas" Day, Jim!

 

Thank you, Joe!

 

Nice shave, Perry!

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - PS (Tube 2.0), SS CK-6, ASB (Star Jelly), AS/C - Gondolier
Heritage Collections - Klenzo w/HMW Gel Tip
Drew Dick 7/8 Damascus Steel - Green Kirinite

Awesome 3 pass BBS shave this morning. Slick and silky thick lather from PAA's CK-6 formula, love the Gondolier fragrance. This Drew Dick example always gets me DFS+ by the 2nd pass. But...I'm overloading the Klenzo so it doesn't hog the lather and went for a third. Medium sized weeper under the nose...a small skin bump that occasionally gets sensitive. WTG/XTG, then followed with slightly edge to center strokes, only to clean lower right neck & jawline. PAA's Star Jelly and then the matching AS/C had the weeper under control, and now smelling fine.

Not always being the best at scent descriptions, here's PAA version: Ahhhh Venice... Experience the classic, masculine, old world scent of Italy. Gondolier is a rich, balanced bouquet of Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine, Oakmoss, Coumarin, Citronella, Juniper & Cedar. I'll just say it's one that is a wifey favorite as well as mine, and will always be on the 'buy' list.

Missed posting Saturday's shave 1/4. A very busy day. Used PAA's F-Bombs shave soap and aftershave/cologne, ENOCH Razor, Feather pro super blade. F-Bombs is a clone of Tom Ford's, well, you can look it up, it's not a family friendly name. It's another great PAA clone of a popular fragrance. I'll finish it out, not quite sure if it's a repurchase though even though it's a very nice aroma. Sunday was a no shave day.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

 

Outstanding picture, Blair!

 

Unfortunately, no discount, Paul. I was just joking with Jim and Blair, as my guess is we are going to enable each other into more purchases.

 

awesome shave and pic Jim..

 

i hope everything works out ok..thoughts and prayers..

 

I'm giving my Bay Rum soap 3 shaves this week...I need to try to get some dents going with it. Today's shave was real good-one of those that said "you're gonna need that second pass". I must have wet the brush a little too much, or not shaken it off enough...or both. No cuts, 2 passes. The TSD splash was a nice finish. Bay Rum covering Bay Rum.

 

cool shave and pic Clint..

 

fine shave Paul,good morning..

 

Thank you Jim.

Ahh, I see. How about doing it like Chris Bailey of Fine Accoutraments? In an earlier video he ends his dicusssion of each Fine product with "get it".

 

fine shave and pic Jim..

 

Thank you, Gary!

 

Hi Gary, thanks. Y'know, each time I shave with the Jeeves Bay Rum I keep thinking it's good "spring training" for when I get around to my Bill Neumann(Wm. Neumann&Co) purchase. Why. Because I have the "old" 7 oz. puck from Jeeves, and you can get 8 oz. worth at Bill Neumann. (Could also opt for 4, but the 8 is the better deal).

 

fine shave and pic Perry,i like oud scents..

 

Thank you Blair.
