April 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Zatly.

 

You can have your Snix bar....I'm stickin to Flaxseeds.

 

Well, I didn't give my son the SKX. I gave him a Melbourne Hawthorn Chronograph.

I also gave my 17 year old daughter a Seiko 5 I picked up used for $25.

Did I ever mention that when I met my wife she had never spent more than $60 on a pair of shoes? Shes hyper frugal. While I'll wear her down eventually, its going to be a while before I buy my grail watch.

 

thank you Jim....

 

i really like the mike's orange and black pepper..

 

Good post, Bill.

 

That's probably 9 months away.

 

hello Joseph..a report on your follies with the mundane gillette techs could be a cool article..

 

My Bride is frugal too. She accompanied me on a business trip to Houston. One evening we were in the Galleria, and we stopped to look at watches. She actually tried one on for herself and liked it immediately. I surprised her with one the following Christmas. I got her on the bandwagon early.

It's not a great photo, but it's an Omega Constellation. It has been her everyday watch for the past 24 years. I've offered to get her another watch, but she's satisfied with this one.

This is a better photo (not mine) - same model, but this one has the Mother of Pearl dial. Hers is diamond cut.

Tried to honour the thread foci of Adjustables and Shave Sticks. Nice afternoon shave after a day of chores. 2 passes with @MrEE ’s craftsmanship (handle), changed opinion (blade) and ambivalence (soap) . An easy 2 passes on setting Neal and all is good. I used to be kind of meh on this Fine dupe, but seem to be enjoying it more lately.
Have a great weekend, all.

 

Very nice shave Jason! You got Charlie's green light on a chrono. Happy shopping and be sure to post some pictures.

 

Great shave and picture, Jason. I have the Palmolive shave stick up for tomorrow myself.

 

Both are nice watches, for sure. Your daughter may like wearing one of the Seiko divers. That seems to be a fairly popular style choice.

A decent but not great shave tonight. It has been a long time since I used the Barbasol and my angles were no where near correct to start. Other than the angles and closeness, it was a nice enjoyable irritation free shave. Enjoy your night.

 

I understand your frustration. If someone thinks a body temp of 85 degrees is OK or if they actually believe a thermometer reading 85, you're safer at home streaming Netflix and sampling Publix Moosetracks Chocolate. Nine out of ten medical professionals recommend MTC to treat severe cases of frustration. It has always worked for me.

From WebMD: "Normal body temperature averages 98.6 degrees. With hypothermia, core temperature drops below 95 degrees. In severe hypothermia, core body temperature can drop to 82 degrees or lower."

 

fine shave and pic Jason.i will say though.the absolute closest shaves, well balanced gillette razor is the rocket hd series of razors..weight,balance,will mow anything down smooth..and not an adjustable on 9 for bragging rights....

 

Years ago, my Bride was pulled over for making a rolling stop in a small Indiana town. The officer tried to give her a ticket, but she wouldn't accept it. She handed it back to him, and he took it. Girls. Sheesh. If I had tried something like that, I'd still be in the county jail.

 

Thanks for the correction Maestro.

 

Lovely photo and shave Jason. Evan really did a fantastic job with the brush handles.
