December 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Eye-popping photo, James. A-1.

 

Thanks, Dave!

I enjoy using razors with small sweet spots. I think of them as technique testers. I'll have to keep an eye out for the H plate to give that a try.

If my hand polish one ever gets here from Alan in Canada I could send my spare H and M Hybrid for you to try if you want?

 

That's OK Joseph, I figured you meant NOT.

 

Cella has such a pleasant fragrance, great combination again Joe. Have a nice family visit!

Super cool blue theme Jim! Love the new razor!

 

That would be great, Dave. Maybe we'll wait until things get better with the USPS though.

Another great shave with the Franken razor.

Imperial shave soap.
Omega boar.
Rockwell 6S top cap.
Karve open comb D plate.
Signature Shaving SSC59- bead blasted.
Rapira Platinum Lux blade.
Irish Chestnut by Andy Hilfiger.


The big Omega made work of the Imperial in no time. Three great and smooth passes with just a hint of alum. I few squirts of Irish Chestnut and I am ready.

Today is Friday.....off tomorrow but work has been crazy this week. Year end on the paper work. Hard to believe this year is gone.

Y'all have a great day.

 

Very well-done and informative indeed, Joseph. Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to review the Agadir info, and also the commentary Doc Ezlovan makes on his AGAR products.

 

Today's 2 pass shave with Institut Karite soap went very well, but I'm not planning any more shaves this year

 

I look forward to your upbeat shave summaries and photos every day, Barry! I wish you and your family a happy and productive New Year! See you next year, err, tomorrow!

 

Well, this was a Throwback Thursday shave that didn't go as well as I'd hoped. Remember earlier, when I said I want ALL my Throwback Thursdays to be outta this world or super duper. Today-not quite so. 0:30 to load the soap onto the Maggard brush, then I did an additional 0:10. In the field of mathematicia(I mean, after all, isn't one who is skilled in math called a mathematician??), that would be a total of 0:40 for the load. Nice sweeping motion across the face and neck. BUT THEN......a cut at the usual location of N.W. Porcupine Alley. 1st pass cuts force me to spend the majority of the shave looking at the thing in the mirror. As I sit here now though, it's well under control. That cut was the only issue of the shave-but a big one of course. I'm making SOME headway with the Jeeves Bay Rum soap, as you can tell it's opening up some in the middle of the puck(as all shave soaps do, I suppose). Good work along the cheeks&sideburns. S. Porcupine looks good(jaw area, essentially). Cactus nation good, save for the ingrown-hair area(I'm convinced that's why I can't kill off that specific area). Work in progress for that. The Stephan Bay Rum A.S. felt(and still feels)nice. Most Excellent.

 

Fine shave, Barry. Have a Happy New Year!

 

Thanks, Maestro! Unfortunately, for me, it was a bit like trying to explain GWF Hegel to my youngest three year old grandson.

 

Very nice shave, setup and pic, Dave! Hope your stay at the tire place won't be long. Happy New Year!

 

Great shave and have a great time with your dad, Joe! Happy New Year!

 

Wonderful shave and nice Chubby
