30 Day Rule/Focus; April 2025. All Are Welcome!

Thank you Joe.

 

Great shave to start the month Chris.

 

Stellar shave to start this month Gary.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Me too, living on the north east coast of the UK it takes a little while longer before it gets pleasantly warmer. However, I never gripe, considering the fairly mild winters months we have in our neck of the woods, compared to other regions of the UK.

 

thank you Joe.was a fun shave with a classy old time razor..

 

Well said Joe. Happy April.

 

Simple and effective shave to start of the month Barry.

 

Excellent start to the month Gary

 

Awesome shave Chris. My wife is not really fond of most of the Oud’s in my den. She did not seem to mind the King of Oud though.

 

Thank you Joe. Simple and effective describes my shave set ups perfectly.

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: C-Mon Special 6/8”
Brush: Shore Shave Player 26 mm
Lather: Hoffman’s Shaving Co. “TUT”
Aftershave: Hoffman’s Shaving Co. “TUT”
Additional Care:
Omega Alum

Happy April gentleman. I may just go with anything goes theme for the month, although, I may throw in a few 1508.5 shaves with either the DG/CL Nefertiti or the Caties Bubbles Vintage.

This morning shave feature the Hoffman’s Tut software. The boar brush whipped up a nice slick lather albeit on the thin side. The thinner lather worked very well for this straight, razor shave. Three passes to super smoothness.

April 2 SOTM

Good morning.

Van der Hagen TTO
Voskhod DE Blade (2)
Rockwell Synthetic Brush
Stirling Tsuka SS, AS, EdT
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 2 days



I went for an easy DE shave this morning. Yes, I am using Stirling Tsuka SS because I sank the TSD Barbershoppe soap on my previous shave. As you can see, I am back to bowl lathering.


Three passes for a BBS shave without a hitch. Alum feedback was slight. Splashed the matching aftershave and spritzed the matching EdT to top the shave. Take care.

 

Great intro and ideas, Joe! Probably all three for me...

 

Thank you Gary...got here late today(to the library computer, which works tons better than mine still).

 

Today's shave was a repeat of that of April Fools Day(no fooling), BUT........

Brush-Prorasso Professsional Omega*

*-silver handle

same good result as yesterday. About 0:40 at the Loading Dock for the Ukraine-made soap. Nice work along the cheeks&sideburns, ditto both ends of Porcupine, as well as Cactus. Actually, I could have done better at the right sideburn(course we all know that area gives me fits). More work for tomorrow. The San Juan Hill A.S. was good again(not my favorite, as said before, but it's OK.). My two Bricktown aftershaves can pass for use on Throwback Thursday-good U.S. History behind those two. Anyway, for the overall shave, I'll give it a Most Outstanding.

 

Thank you Gary
