August 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Excellent shave Jeff! I like the way your son incrementally prompts you into honing your razors. He did a great job doing so introducing you to straights.

 

Yes indeed! It is a horror especially during summertime. Next time you are out that way, it would be great if Joe C and I could have a get together with you. I'll bring Mad Max!

 

Great shave, Joe!

 

Yeah, he’s a clever sod! When I started complaining that he wasn’t maintaining my razors as he promised, he smiled and delivered the stones the next day! Oh, he also included a paddle strop, which I failed to mention in my shave post. I was always complaining about the arthritis in my shoulders that made a regular strop a problem. With this one I can sit down to perform razor maintenance. You were right, I’m slowly sliding down the straight razor hole.

 

Great shave and report, Joseph!

Sounds good, but it will probably not be for a while. You guys live in Suffolk County?

 

Well, you are in good company with Blair, Maestro and Keith! Oh yes, I am in the club too!

 

Yes. We are on the North Shore! Manorville is right off Exit 70 on the LIE! We are 7 to 9 miles north of Exit 63.

 

That's a fact Joe . Rumblin' stinks.

 

Thanks Jeff...face and neck do feel a bit more comfortable today than yesterday. That Osage Rub is a PRIZE!!!

 

I KNEW you'd pick that statement to........................ponder about.

 

Boar Month - Shave #13

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: C V Heljestrand 14. 7/8” Camel Bone Scales
Brush: Jayaruh 329 Boar
Lather: Barrister & Mann Nordost
Aftershave: B & M Nordost
Additional Care:
Barbero Alum Block
Thayer's Witch Hazel - Aloe Vera
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

You know you pick a great product to shave with when the missus responds positively to the scent. She is a big fan of citrus type scents. The smoked Orange of the B & M Nordost got her good this morning. A lot of ooh’s and ah’s, love this and use it again type comments.

Prior to my shower and wonderful shave, I tortured myself with my X3Bar Push workout. The humidity factor did not help
my cause but the split legs squats left me gasping for air as I crumbled to the ground. Still not to shabby for a 61 year old senior citizen, although I do not feel like one.

Regarding the shave, I did my usual three shave. The razor, obtained from @gsixxgun last year continues to deliver close and comfortable shaves. My face is smooth without any irritation. The alum was noticeably silent.
Have a great day gentlemen, stay cool

 

Fabulous shave Keith.

 

Excellent SV shave Pierpaolo.

 

Excellent shave Jim. Very nice razor.

 

I told you, my friend! It’s great stuff, and usable year around!

 

Not sure about the improvement of the traffic pattern. It took two hours to get out and two and a half to get back. I live in Miller Place which is about 5 miles east of Port Jefferson. Montauk is approximately 70 miles from my house. We did have a nice time.

 

Wonderful shave and an excellent razor! I can attest that you are in fantastic shape at 61!

 

Wonderful shave, Joe! Camel bone scales, doesn’t get much more exotic than that!

 

Beautiful shave Clint, Fantastic razor.
