October 2021 30 Day Rule/Focus & Discussion. All are welcome!

Thanks, Paul! I took an acetominophen tab before I went out for some pizza. During the last couple of days, I am glad to say that I never lost my appetite. I usually do not take any OTC medication and really just limited myself to 1 tab per day which is far below the acceptable dosage.

 

That's a very efficient razor Jason.

 

Thank you, Clint. I really appreciate your kind words.

 

I just thought that I would share this picture of my nephew Brian. He is the brother of Jason. Jason is my other nephew who got married in June.

 

Joe, I'm so sorry for you and your families loss. My sincerest condolences and y'all are in my prayers.

 

Thank you Jeff

 

Thank you Joe

 

Thank you Joe. The range of motion is gradually improving daily. There is a dull ache that presents itself whenever I move the shoulder. That being said, it is less obtrusive than prior to the surgery.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Very nice with so
E beautiful razors Gary.

 

Awesome on both counts. Use the Bon Vivant sparingly.

 

Thank you so much, Danny. It was unexpected to say the least.

 

This is a wonderful photograph. He looks genuinely happy here. One to treasure for sure!

SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 5, 2021

This morning OC October continues with something old and something new. The 1840ish Boker & Co. with its cast steel French Point 5/8 Sheffield blade has always been one of my favorites. This little razor dates to about 40 years prior to the German Tariff Act of 1879 encouraging Boker & Co. to switch from English (Sheffield) to German (Solingen) steel. It’s sweet little Sheffield steel blade always holds a buttery smooth, yet sharp edge. Three mug passes left me oh-so-smooth!

Although I termed my Karve “Christopher Bradley” razor new, I’ve owned and enjoyed shaving with it for several years. I prefer the OC baseplates because I like the way they feel on the dome. This morning for a slight change of pace, I loaded a Kai blade. These blades sit on the sharpness continuum in the realm of Feather, Nacet and Bic, but happen to be a smidge wider than standard DE blades. I enjoy the blade feel they provide. Two ATG passes left your truly glassine smooth from the shoulders up. Just the way I like to end a shave.

RAZOR: Boker & Co. French Point 5/8 (Mug), Karve E_OC (Dome)
BLADE: Kai DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute with 26mm Tuxedo Synth Knot
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with PAA Frost Byte AS Splash.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Looks like a wedding shot.
