October 30 Day/Rule Focus Pix & Discussion

Thank You, Andrew.

 

Lovely photo and shave report, Clint! I like that brush handle!

 

Great looking shave and informative report, Charlie! Do those Trac II cartridges have the "comfort strip" on them? I never found that they did anything beneficial when I was using cartridges.

 

Thanks, Andrew!

 

Excellent shave and photo, Clint! I am glad you weathered the storm without incident. It's a mess for sure.

 

Agreed, Joseph. It's top-tier in every respect.

 

Thanks Jeff. It has been fun and a bit challenging so far.

 

Thanks Andrew.

My cartridges have a "lubricating strip." I don't think it provides any benefit, either.



This is the best price I've found: https://www.supersafetyrazors.com/personna-twin-pivot-plus-cartridges-10-count/ (free shipping and free gift).

 

Thursday's Shave
#OCtober

GEM Micromatic
GEM S/S PTFE (4)
Wild West Brushworks 'Renaissance'
B&M Seville Shaving Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
B&M Reserve Classic Aftershave

It's been quite a long day. The tropical storm woke me up around 5am and the power went out at 5:20am. No damage to the house, just a few downed tree limbs in the back yard. There is still a tree about a mile down the road that's leaning about 45 degrees over the road and held up by the power lines. I think I'll make an effort to avoid that route until it's resolved.
Electricity finally returned at 1:45pm. The plan was for face-to-face school to be cancelled and the kids would attend virtually. Well, they were both delighted when that plan changed once the power went out all over the district. Classes are cancelled tomorrow as well.

Fortunately, the shave was a delight this morning. I love the scent on the B&M Seville and the B&M Reserve Classic is a good complement to the soap. 2 passes with the GEM Micromatic provided a comfortable and efficient shave without mishaps or irritation.

 

Thanks for the heads up, Charlie. I did not know about that website.

 

Thank you Jeff. The handle is a bit busy but I like it as well.

 

Oh, you mean about squeezing Stoylin Spice into a Throwback Thursday shave?

 

I placed my order yesterday evening, Andrew, and I promptly got an email stating the order was being prepared for shipment. This is a first-class small business, for sure. He also sells on Amazon, but the price in this case was better buying directly from his website. You will need to sign up for their emails in order to get the free gift.

 

Very glad to hear you are both safe after last night's storms.
The ABB products sound very nice, Clint, and the Seville will be a repurchase for me someday, Andrew. I chewed through a tub a few years ago.

 

Nice bit of enabling. We'll see how long the shipping from Italy is.

Thanks Andrew.....I really have been doing better of late.

 

Thank you, Jason. I may have to buy the Seville aftershave too one day.

 

Awesome, Jim! That level of distressing takes some serious time. Very excited to see it in your pics.

 

Excellent, Andrew. Of all the B&M formula iterations, whatever your Seville is, is my favorite. IMO, Will screws around too much with his products.
