OCT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

We play at a local restaurant against several other regular teams and there are always a few groups who just happen to wander in and decide to play. We have a host who asks 5 general knowledge questions per round. 1st question is worth 1 point, 2nd question is worth 2 points etc...15 points possible per round. After 5 rounds you can wager any or all of your points in a final question. The team with the most points gets $20 off their bill. 2nd place gets $10 off. It's a lot of fun, and a good chance to get together with really good friends.

 

OCtober Focus Day 21:

Stirling Synthetic Brush
Stirling Frozen Tundra
Schick Type C1
Stirling Unscented PSB
Clubman VI Bay Rum AS

It looks like I hit the limit with the blade today. It was real tuggy and not quite as comfortable. I'll swap the blade for tomorrow, so I expect some improved performance tomorrow. The Frozen Tundra felt nice, though.

 

I sell on Etsy. I get this on my stuff. Every now and then, I will accept an offer, but folks selling vintage probably have more wiggle room on prices. The worst they can say is no.

 

Why?
That's where Mrs. F. makes me shave.

Wait, are you telling us you get to shave INDOORS???

 

I'm a math nut and appreciate a well-written equation no matter the school system.

 

Have you tried a WTB post here on the Den? If I had one, I'd pif it to you.

 

Razor: Gillette Red Tip (A3) 1955
Blade: Gillette Platinum (3)
Brush: Whipped Dog Silver Tip w/ Black/White Marble Handle 22/65
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn Indian Sandalwood
A/S: Captain's Choice Sandalwood
Day 22

Not a very good shave today. The Whipped Dog brush is to floppy, and does not suit me. Thanks goodness for a great razor, or this wouldn't have made through the shave. Had to change brushes after 2 passes. That is life.

 

Sounds like a good time! I really like trivia questions and games. Have fun!

So passionately written. I found myself panting and lightly sweating while reading.

 

Yes, but that's YOU.

 

Good news guys. I'll be shaving with a Phoenix DOC tonight compliments of the fiancé!

Great photo. Truly gorgeous brush.

 

Great write up. The heavier handle does change the feel of the New LC.

 

Thank you!

 

Clint, just saw the work you do on those 400's.. I'm blown away.

Edit: I immediately get on eBay to look. With pure shock and frown, eBay was no longer pulled up.

 

Thank you. I really enjoy taking something old and worn out and bringing it back.

 

They are beautiful. Went too look into buying one a few minutes ago. Then I realized I didn't win the lottery and got off eBay.

 

Oh my... Where do I even start gents.

Face wash, AJ Murrays pre shave oil
Personna Red
Phoenix DOC Razor
WD 24mm Silvertip
Shave Den Sensitive Lanolin
Thayers WH & The body shop razor relief

This.. This is the first shave I could ever truly declare DFS++ on. A slight touch of clean up and I would've had the baby. The irritation is non existent. The razor is mild, and frighteningly efficient. The lather provided fantastic protection. This is the only razor comfortable enough to buffer with for me. I have one more razor to try in my collection in November. I'm waiting to break it out. But so far, this Phoenix is the best shave I've ever gotten.

Super happy with tonight's shave
