SEPT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

Way cool Clint! Love the speedometer in the corner of the video.

 

Thank you, Mark! I appreciate it.

 

After my wife and daughters saw that video I made sure to remove it from future videos.

 

Congrats on one year!! Thank you for everything you have contributed especially to us newbies!

 

Thanks, William!

 

Clint, thanks for sharing the video. I enjoyed taking the ride along with you guys through that beautiful country.

 

Congratulations on your 1 year TSD anniversary! It wouldn't be the same place without you. I've enjoyed and learned a lot from you and many other members of our Den family too.

B-3 Mongoose with Triad Ti Helix Hex
Feather Pro #4
Varlet Beehive Badger 24 X 50mm
Krampert’s Frostbite Soap
Alum, Dickinson’s ++Menthol, Gold Bond Green Lotion
Krampert’s Frostbite Aftershave

Excellent two pass near BBS today. Started with Mr. Glo Soap. The Beehive Handle may be one of the ideal designs for a shave brush. The Varlet Knot has outstanding flow through, excellent face coverage, with substantial backbone, and holds enough lather for more than 3 passes. It loaded up in seconds with icy cool Frostbite and whipped up a mountain of creamy slick lather in a New York minute. I will continue to ride the smooth comfortable shave of the Mongoose through OCtober occasionally using one of my OC razors. Finished this great shave off with a healthy cold splash of Krampert's Frostbite Aftershave. Hope you all had a smooth easy shave today.
Have a good week folks!

Bill, thanks for the kind words!

 

Fat Boy on 16? Nice! Russian engineering marvels never cease.

 

I like this. A lot.

 

It s almost the 28th out on the prairie... And I would like to say congrats to Charlie ( @wristwatchb ) for a great year on TSD! He and I joined within two weeks of one another, and he was one of the 30 Day Originals. Thanks Charlie for all you bring to the table, and look forward to a great year 2! Keep it Dangerous!

 

Prayers for good news and best wishes with the MD tomorrow!

 

Or, just buy it. We won't tell.

 

I love Helen, GA! My grandparents and I went there often as a child. I've also spent a lot of time around Lake Lanier, but back when GA 400 was gravel. My great-grandparents (I knew them both) lived out their lives just outside of Dahlonega. My great aunt still lives there at age 93. North GA will always be dear to me.

 

I'm a bit partial myself.

 

There must be a SWMBO society "stock response" manual. I got the exact same response 28 years ago as I rounded 2nd base on my way to a triple when my right hamstring popped as though I had been hit dead on by a sniper. As I somersaulted and stumbled into 3rd base, in the worst agony I had ever experienced, I heard SWMBO exclaim - " What did you do that for?!!" I gave the same response as you did Neal.

Hmmm...the best part was the face looked great?
No big deal that you almost gave yourself a prefrontal lobotomy.

Oh well as we'd all say - "you look mah-velous!" and "I'd rather look good than to feel good."

 

Congrats Charlie!
I'm glad you are still here and hope you are for long time to come!

 

We're glad you're here Eric!
Troll away and join in the shenanigans whenever you can!

Shave Den Sunday

Hot Shower
Soap: TSD Unscented
TSD Witch Hazel
TSD Aftershave Milk
TSD Agua di Gio
Brush: Omega Pro 48
Razor:1924 Ever Ready
Blade: Gem PTFE (2)



Two-pass shave.
1st pass - good reduction on the WTG pass.
2nd pass - ATG pass leaves me clean and smooth, though I’m still trying to find the best approach to shaving my broad chin with the Gems. I have experienced that finding the correct approach and angle are possible, but it is a bit more work than I’ve experienced with the injectors and DEs.

Cheers!
