September 30 Day/Rule Focus Pix & Discussion

thank you Joe..they should be sued for bloating millions of people and sugar poisoning..not to mention dental bills....

 

thank you Clint,glad you are feeling better.unfortunately that means work and not relaxing for you..

 

thank you Joe..decent day outside today....a fine day to you as well

 

Great shave, setup and pic, Evan!

 

Masks are very controversial in Utah. Our numbers have been low and people come up with all kinds of excuses not to wear then. However, we've had record increases in just about every stat. Hopefully people figure it out and start being more careful.

 

Thanks Charlie. I am doing my best to stay healthy. I have been researching when is the best time to get the shot. Conventional wisdom states toward the end of Oct because the immunization only lasts 6 months so that it matches the window of the flu season.

 

Thanks Gary!

 

It certainly looks like a rockin' shave, Blair!

 

Thank Very much You Charlie! Enjoy your week!

 

I am doing well. I am in the process of planning a visit to the local dental school to see if I can become a patient. I need to have major work done and can't afford to go to a private dentist. Without them looking at me, I would say that I need to get full dentures. The pro side is that it will be less expensive, but the downside is that it will take a lot longer to get it done.

 

Okay. Your penance is to say five Our Fathers and 10 Hail Marys. Electric razors are not compatible with shaving my beard.

I decided to take a shavette detour and enjoy a few SEptember shaves with my Mongoose. I was inspired by @Terry even before I knew him, so I purchased a spare Mongoose in 2013. So, yes I have a flock of Mongeese in my den.

Two passes...OK, three if you count touch ups because I was having so much fun...and I'm scary close (copyright @clint64). With the Big Bomber handle, this heavy razor demands a light touch. Thankfully, Danger was at the controls. I treated it like it was a shavette, hyper skin stretching, alum on the fingertips of the off-hand, yada, yada, yada, and somehow a wonderful shave broke out.

The Feather Super Pro is my favorite SE blade. The additional exposure coupled with the blade stiffness makes it a joy to use in the Mongoose head. Cloud Nine all the way. I decided to give my B-400 by Tom brush a spin after seeing all the cool @MrEE aluminum brush handles this month. I find it to be quite acceptable even though it is not red. I guess it's because I used too much caulk to set the knot. The Envy White two-bander has a little more backbone and scritch than my silvertips. Compared to Kent brushes, it's like going from a well-behaved second-grader to a spirited middle schooler. It has a nice face feel, and it works a little better with soaps.

Well, that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

Grace and Peace.

 

fabulous shave and pic Charlie..glad to see your vintage shave gear again....very cool..

 

Thanks Blair. I appreciate the recommendations! I gave my Envy White 2 a spin today.

 

Great shave Charlie. The Mongoose is a fantastic razor and delivers scary close shaves paired whit a Feather Super Pro blade.

​

An early morning shave with an early evening post. In an attempt to finish the RBMC Sandalwood Cream, I will stick with it for the next few days. The brass General did a wonderful job mowing down 48 hours of growth. Three passes and touch ups ended in a drama free BBS shave. I hope everyone has had a great Tuesday.
