February 2021 30 Day Rule/30 Day Focus Pic and Discussion Thread- All are Welcome

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, that didn't take long. Need to reach out to them for sure !!

 

Yes indeed Dave. Just wrote up an email and filled out return forms then packed it up to send back. Very disappointing.

 

Sorry to hear that for you, frustrating and disappointing indeed

 

I asked for an exchange since I do love the razor and want another. Now it's in their hands as to whether they exchange or refund .

 

Absolutely Brutish!

 

Bummer with a capital B!

 

Definitely Bill. I was really starting to enjoy it.

 

Thanks Bill, have a great day

 

February Focus

Yardley~~Morris & Forndran~~Dovo~~Houbigant Duc de Vervins
Day two with the Dovo Best.
Tallow-base today for extra slickness.
The Ali Baba is a tad demure for my hands, but the tips do all the work.
They performed admirably and created a luscious lather with the vintage soap.
24 hour growth is a real test with regard to a straight razor and success.
Last evening, I stropped the razor 40 laps on my SRD 3".
I read somewhere that stropping the day before is more beneficial for the edge,
but I not only can't recall where I read it, but am not able to prove or dis-prove it.
The edge seemed to be just a s smooth as yesterday; and after three passes,
left me with my typical results: A mix of BBS on the cheeks and jaw-line and DFS on the neck.
One minuscule weeper on the right side of my goatee, kept this shave from being perfect.
Witch Hazel clean up, followed by the not-pictured Yardley After Shaving Lotion.
The AS has a light enough scent to not interfere with my FOTD©
(Not that any aftershave could, this Houbigant is a beast)
Houbigant Duc de Vervins
Original formula with real Oakmoss.

Awesome head and face shaves today . Started with the G/W blade but found that the Muhle hates it . Swapped it for the Dorco before things went south and all was good ! The Fatip piccolo SE has begun to shed its lustrous finish and the return process has begun. Hopefully I can get a replacement since I love that razor.


Packed up for its journey back to the seller .

 

Great shave and wise move to swap blades. I'd be worried a replacement might do the same but maybe just an isolated issue. Have a good day Pat

 

Happy Birthday, Blair! @b1hart

Milo ready for a snow walk.

 

Wonderful shave report and photo Barry. Have a great Sunday. Take care and stay safe.

Beautiful photos and shave lineup Dave. Enjoy the coffee & cheesecake.

Simply Awesome Joseph.

 

Just too cute.

Happy Birthday

 

All this talk of cooking with photos succeeding in enabling me. I just placed an order for a 12 inch carbon steel pan. After all I need something to get a good finishing sear when I get the Sous Vide up and running.

 

I apologize for missing your post earlier Patrick. Great looking shave and photo. I am sorry about the razor but I have read reports of the gunmetal finish just falling off with little use.
