30 Day Rule / Focus; December 2025. The Final One.

If I wanted that I would go back to using my current old Micro Touch One as my main razor (not just air travel) that gives unpleasant shaves having the butterfly sucking due in part to age/packaging being damaged when I bought it where I need to keep locking it down or locking it to the right spot to stay but not too far either otherwise the butterfly twist knob locks up.

 

Thank you Joe.

Greetings,

Relaxing Sunday Morning Shave.

The WS shave stick is wonderful, it's surprising how much of a good lather you get from these now sadly discontinued humble shave sticks.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

 

Thanks Joe, Stirling is good stuff.

Thanks Joe, have a great Sunday

Lovely setup, almost all blue.

For me that will one or two more shaves on my current setup and then I need to decide how to bring in the New Year, shave-wise of course!

Did 2 passes all around for an ultra smooth and comfortable shave. There wasn't any red liquid coming out so that's always a good thing. I finally Fitgerald this soap which was the last of the 3 tubs I purchased. It's a fitting tribute to the ending of The Shave Den. I must say it did produced a nice, slick and creamy lather. Here's my lather:



Didn't have any feed back from the alum. Finished with the application of the witch hazel and the matching aftershave. Take care

 

Thank you Joe.

First, our travel ordeal finally ended early Sunday morning upon our arrival to the Southern Den. We left LI at 2 PM Friday with a plan to change planes in Raleigh at 9 PM. Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided to snow on our parade as flights out of the Northeast were constantly being cancel. As a result, our flight was moved to Saturday at noon. Of course more delays with deicing of the plane in New Haven lead to further delays. As a result we rented a car and drove the rest of the way.

Just recovering today so I have the gumption to post this morning’s shave. I decided to go with the Denton Mail Seagoer. It is a light,but refreshing scent with a great lather and even better glissade.

Sunshine:

 

Excellent stick shave Barry.

 

Happy New Year Paul.

 

I don't think so.

 

Where there is a will, there is a way. Excellent shave Joe.

Needed a good going to work shave. I've been a little lazy on the shaving thing over the weekend.

Three very nice passes had the old mug back into shape.

Happy Monday everyone!

 

Super duper shave Barry, I will definitely bring out my WS shave stick in the New Year some time

Thanks Barry

Fine shave and Fitzgerald Joe

Have a great day.
