May 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

thank you Jeff.how did your conference go..?

 

You have a different hairstyle, Joe.

 

Thanks, Tim. The DE-Vette is simply becoming less intimidating. Yes, The CH3 is a large knot...too large. I prefer the 22-26mm knots.

 

Thanks, Gary.

 

Thank you, Clint.

 

One of your best photos, Gary.

 

You are a man of conviction, Evan. Impressive.

 

Interesting razor and great report, Jeff.

 

Nice shave, Joe.

 

Very nice picture with proven gear, Clint. Hope the BBQ was delicious.

 

That's a very successful shave, Tim.

 

Thank you, Joe.

 

The Merry Mixed Up Month of May!

May 16

Razor - 1946-'47 Gillette Aristocrat
Blade -
Soap - Blood on Steel LE for 2019 Meet Up by Stirling
Brush - 30DC LE Meet-Up brush w/ SynBad bulb by @jtspartan
Post - Alum

Long cloudy day today but lots of food got delivered. That's a good thing. Came home tired and dry as no rain every found me. Apparently, I don't smell bad so I didn't need an outdoor shower. I did need a shave, however, so I broke out the Aristocrat and Vodkhod one more time. Since I used the 2018 Blood on Steel last night, along with the first edition 30DC brush, I used the 2019 Blood on Steel tonight along with the 30DC Meet Up brush. Fantastic lather from the SynBad knot and three passes knocked me down to BBS and a very relaxed and happy camper.

Hope you had a great Saturday and got to do something fun or just relax. Sunday is here again in a few hours. These weeks are FLYING by!

thank you so much Joseph..

 

fine shave and pic Neal.happy sunday..

 

Right now I don't have any interest in blacksmithing. I lean more to crafts that can be reduced to a formula. Calculate the parameters, follow the procedure, let the tools do the real work, that's my craft. Hammer forging has a lot more art to it.

However, my interests change pretty fast. It's actually the steep part of the learning curve that I enjoy most, so who knows.

 

blacksmithing can be an art form.but in practicality terms it was make something that works ,strong in the right places..i also worked as a machinist for some years before my mechanic carrier.loved it .
