January 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Wonderful photo, Jason! I don't recall seeing that soap before.

 

Very nice shave, Gary!

 

Fantastic photo, Jim!

 

Terrific setup, Clint. I've got Felce Aromatica coming up Thursday.

 

Great picture and shave, Jim! The scent description sounds fantastic.

 

Really nice shaves Tommy! Cool Ball End Tech.

 

Terrific shave, Terry!

 

Thanks, Perry!

 

Some Aqua Velva talk on here today. I wanted to reiterate something Jeff @jgreenepa mentioned. I was able to sniff the European Aqua Velva at Merz Apothecary in Chicago, which is the business behind Smallflower and smallflower.com. To me it smells much better than the drug store Aqua Velva.



@clint64 - if Swati has some time in Chicago there are two locations of Merz Apothecary. That's where I bought SV Felce Aromatica. One location is in the Loop, a smaller storefront right beside the Palmer House Hotel. The other location is in Lincoln Square. It's much larger, but I took a Lyft out there before realizing there was a L stop just a block away.

 

Thanks, Blair!

 

Thank you Blair.

 

Thank you, Joe.

 

Thank you Perry. If she has time, I will let her know.

 

Definitely some good stuff going away, but, c’est la vie. Thanks Jason.

 

Thank you Perry. I love the stuff.

 

Thanks, Clint. I already don’t care. Wink, wink.

 

Thank you, Perry. I would’ve thought there would’ve been more interest, but so far only one person is showing an inkling of interest. If all else fails, it’s going to eBay.

 

Thanks Blair!
Not much time to reply to all the fine shaving going on here.
I wish I had more time for proper description and play by play on my morning escapades.
But time eludes me.

Awesome Tabac Tuesday shave, Terry. I don't think it was me that said it, but I'll say it now: my Ever Ready 1912 has been my go-to razor for the last half year, and ignoring it for this month's 30DC has probably been the most difficult part of the challenge. Mine has a head that is brassing, and slightly pitted, and I like the thing all the more for it, if that makes any sense--just a steady, dependable, workhorse of a razor. I will say this, though, the Flare Tip is rapidly approaching my 1912 now.
