September 30 Day/Rule Focus Pix & Discussion

Another drive by posting. Too busy too catch up on the thread. I hope I did not miss to many good ones.

Saturday was a butterscotch themed shave, with my Rooney brush, Dorko 7/8 full hollow and Tabac. A nice shave indeed, this is one of my favorite razors.

Sunday I went with a big smile, a 9/8 grinning Mike Martinez. This razor does have a wickedly sharp edge and is used when I have plenty of time for my shave. An excellent Sunday shave and then a walk in the park with my woman and even a quick cigar.

Monday back to work safety razor shave, my Joris with Feather blade (2) and MWF in the house, a fine shave.

 

wow..i agree..

 

awesome Keith..

Utterly amazing and scary

 

G7DC Shave # 3
DE Shave # 285

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Merkur 37c Slant
Blade: Treet Classic
Brush: Silver Blue
Lather: Stirling Spice
Aftershave: B & M Reserve Spice
Additional Care:
Barbero Alum Block
Thayer's Witch Hazel - Aloe Vera
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

So starts the first full week of this hybrid whatever you want to call it. The third day of G7DC has me smelling just as good as the first two. What I have come to realize, confirming what I had suspected, that my Stirling soaps do not lather as well with my badgers. I do not manage to get as thick of a lather, it is still slick but on the thinner side. Regardless, my face is smooth and to quote the Basal Barbarian, “Velveteen “.
Have an enjoyable day gentlemen.

 

Killing it Pierpaolo.

 

Three beautiful shaves right there Keith. Looks like you had an excellent weekend.

 

I've a killer's heel ...


Thanks, Joe.

 

Loved all aspects of your magnificent kit, with the exception of Tabac. Great shaves! Glad you’re finally reunited with your bride! Enjoy your week!

 

Your usual gorgeous balancing act. Love the filework on that Dovo spine!

 

Great shave, Joe! There’s no better shave result than velveteen! Stay safe and healthy this week! Keep those hands washed!

 

Great shaves Keith!

 

Very nice shave, Joe!

 

Thank you, Bruce. The upshot of all of this is that you can expect to see a huge den-clearing in the very near future.

 

SOTD MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 14, 2020

Although it’s a bit gloomy this morning, my shave was gratifying. I’m really liking my new Feather DX. I switched back to a Proguard blade and discovered that the shave was every bit as close as it was with the Feather Super. So that’s that! I prefer the Super in my AC safety razors, and now know I can use it in my DX. My preference is for the Proguard in the latter though, as it is designed to prevent horizontal slicing, which shaky old me is prone to. Day 3 of the G7DC was an unmitigated success with new learning. Choking up on the handle of the Paul Revere did help a great deal, bit there was still one crevasse on the back of my dome with just the hint of stubble. So I tried something unique and different. Grabbing the DX by the blade with both hands, I was able to, with the lightest touch, and a fair bit of anxiety, remove that recalcitrant stubble resulting in a velveteen shave for both mug and dome without resorting to one of my AC safety razors. I feel fresh and finally velveteen!

RAZOR: Feather Wood Handle DX Barber’s Razor (Mug), Schick Paul Revere L Type Safety Razor (Dome)
BLADE: Feather Proguard (Mug), Schick Injector II (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handle #007 w/ Hybrid Knot
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brushsqueezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme Balm and Argan Oil.

 

We all have had products permanently banned from the den.

 

Will do my friend. Thank you!

 

Cool effect on the picture, Pierpaolo!

Very nice, Joe! Have a great day at school!

Terrific shave, Jeff!
