January 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Appreciated, Adam.

 

Glad you like it, Joe!

 

Well, Charlie, they are still quite noticeable 6 hours later:

No tie for me today with these cat scratches...

I just didn't give it the respect it deserves after a week of great shaves with it last month.

Handle is still tight, Jeff. I just didn't give it the proper attention through the last strokes.


Thank you for the kind words, Gentlemen!

 

Going ATG is the only way I can get smooth.

Nice shave, Adam!
I do three pass shaves and with my hair growth not a single one is a true WTG/XTG/ATG. Actually it's five or six changes in direction during my three passes to get smooth.

 

Busier than I thought I'd be today, so sorry for the big multi-quote. Wonderful shaves, pictures, and posts, everyone!

 

As the ever popular saying in the car world goes: 'That'll buff right out'

 

Of course you are concerned, Joseph. Your daughter is in my thoughts today and I'm hopeful for good news after the appointment.

 

I only have Apothecary in the original 7oz tub. Had Cherry Blossom in that size but piffed it a year or two ago. I have Blood on Steel in the 4 oz size and the Key Lime in the 1-2 oz sample you sent me a few Christmases ago. I also have BoS, Mountain Rain and Tobacco Bay in splashes. Love, love, love the soap base. I have nothing better in my den. The splashes are quality as well. Tobacco Bay is my favourite scent from what I have, but Apothecary is not too far from it. Mine needed to be a hair stronger, though.
I see that there is a gentleman on here who is a new member and has resurrected the Jeeves brand. Unless I have missed it, he has never made mention of Bryon or his involvement in this new iteration. I haven't taken the time to PM him about Bryon's contribution to this new effort, but I am very skeptical that they didn't just open up the website again. Has anyone on here placed a new order with the 'New Jeeves OHS'?

 

My two large ones were 7oz. Was there a time he went from 8 to 7?

 

Last I talked to him he wasn't doing anything with it, trying to get things back together after his divorce. I didn't realize someone else had reopened the brand. I'm going to send Bryon a note and ask what's going on.

I thought they were 8 oz, but 7 oz could be right. I know from the ones I had he over filled them, so they were typically more than 7 oz.

 

Love those Grizzly Bay multi coloured Resins, Jim. Looks fantastic with the labels on the soap, of course!

Lovely greenery! We are currently getting snowed on here. That's ok, we need it.
The Enoch is getting quite a run from you, Clint. You must really enjoy it.

Great write up and pic, Jim! Love the atomizer as well...they're not that common these days.

Lovely, original combo, Perry! Hope you're having a good work day.

That looks like a new bottle of Polar Ice, Tommy. I like mine (good, cheap stink), but don't think I'll bother replacing it when it runs out in 9 years...

Love that razor and brush every time you post them, Blair. They were made for one another, that's for sure.

That rfb looks very similar to a NEW LC baseplate and top cap, Gary. Do they shave similarly?

Such an original razor, Joe. A very generous gesture by Jeff for sure.

Love the filter, Evan. I believe jluc has a brush handle to match those colours, I'm sure...

Yup, a true 'Menthol Monday' combo, Danny. Have a great week.

Congrats on finishing off the soap, Joseph. The splash sounds like a winner at least.

Don't know how you can get much better results than that, Jeff. Awesome post.

Sorry about the floppy knot...My synthetic flattop is set quite deeply. I think that is probably a good way to set them.

 

I believe the gentleman's name on here was Mitchell Smitney. You could only order by PM'ing him on here. I didn't look into it at all.

 

Ahhhh, I'll give you that.

 

IMO Simon was the worst singer of that bunch. Course he made a nice comeback try with "I Can Call You Betty, You Can Call MEEEEE Charlie"

 

1947 beauty!

 

Very nice, love the background.

 

Thanks, Doug! Now installing that tile, that was fun!

 

Thanks, Perry!

 

Yes, Jason, it was very generous of Jeff! I didn't mention it, but it has a built in hone so that when you shake the razor to and fro that you can sharpen the blade, hence the name, Shake Sharp. However, the hone only works with carbon steel blades.
