SEPT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

You see? Right there!

With that brief response, that economy of words, sums up all of what came before in a short and ultimate describable way to where the reader has the complete experience of all the posts that preceded it - in just one word!!!

Day 21 - SEptember 2015

30 Days with a Schick G



Automatic on two!

Have a terrific Tuesday!
​

 

Don't worry over missing a few posts, it's like a party that is still going when you get back to it.

 

Proraso Green is in my top three!

 

Lot of stuff in your post!

It has been so cool to watch you ease into this! Reading your posts, and others, over the past few weeks has made me reexamine my methods and have forced me to consciously improve my own technique. Thank you!!

 

...and on that note...(with a tip of the cap to songmeister extraordinaire @GDCarrington )

Here's to @Drygulch and all you 30-Day Denizens for continuing the quest, to return to the scene, to keep up with the show that never ends, that is the 30-Day Thread...

Ladies and germs, please welcome - ELP!!!

 

@Drygulch

Adam,

We gotta talk strop and SR setup sooner or later. I am gonna take a run at it with the straight the I have coming down the line, from the August Raffle ( kudos @Queen of Blades and @HolyRollah ). It's nowhere near ready, but My 30 Day calendar has a slot in 2016 for my "90 Days to get it or quit it" with an SR.

 

That's going in next month's intro post.

Yeah, I am stealing it.

 

steal away, no copyrights here...

Prep: Hot shower with Stirling Glastonbury.
Pre Shave: Bloom water from soap.
Soap: The Fat
Brush: The Kong
Razor: G1
Blade Schick (China) (3)
Post Shave: Alum, Stirling Lemon Chill W/H Aloe.
Another great shave. The Fat is a great performer, but not the slickest soap in my drawer. Maybe it's me. At any rate it's still rates a place in the rotation. 4 full passes, WTG, XTGS, XTGN, ATG. Cold rinse, Alum, cold rinse, W/H, final touch up, BBS. I'm not sure that I can detect a difference between the G, J, and L, they're all great shavers. The twin blade I've been using in the L may be a hair smoother, but it's not such a game changer that I would be terribly upset if I ran out. I do have 65 on hand, however. I'll be using the L with the twin next time.

 

Chris-

I have also used the G, J, and L, albeit with standard blades. The G definitely features more exposure, but they all seem about the same to me, only difference being that penalty for erring with a G is marginally higher.

And random....but could you post a shot of your razor display in the photo background? Looks neat.

 

yes! - it looks just like one of those razor / (test tube) holders that I keep telling myself to get! and I see a bunch of them at TSD!

 

I've also noticed that things called "tobacco pipe rack" cost $$$$. But things called "test tube rack" only $.

 

+1
another smart shopper, saving his leftover $$$ (quick math: $$$$-$ =$$$) for the good stuff!

 

You have but to ask. It's actually a 3 tiered bamboo spice rack from Amazon, and some bronze toothbrush holders from Lowes.

 

This is probably the polite way of saying I am long winded. My Fiancee tells me that all the time! She loves to point out that I talk way too much and am totally full of BS, but that it just helps me keep talking. I have no idea what she is talking about.

I am progressing thanks to you and the others in this thread. Definitely trying to ease into it. I eventually want to try a great variety of razors and do hope to always keep learning and experimenting. I think it is great that everyone in the thread always strives to learn more or get a better shave or try something new. Keeps it all very interesting!

 

Minimalist, very classy, organized. Great setup. That's what I am looking for. I currently stow all the gear on glass shelves in my home office, and just shuttle things in and out daily. I keep all my AS in a hand tote very similar to one like this: http://tinyurl.com/o6wfa6c
