OCT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

Except the part about Motorcycles.

 

hmmm...isn't stuff like that included in the cost of the room? Like the soap, shampoo and skin cream containers?!!

 

Not everyone has laser like focus.

 

It's Feather Professional and maybe Feather Professional Supers for me.

 

Way to go! I hope to follow your example on my next shave.

 

Show off.

 

Go big or go home!

 

Shave #2 with the Gillette LC New. Better than yesterday. Switched blades to an Astra SP. I ended up with a close shave, but still a sore face, albeit less than yesterday. I think I like the SC and will just say that the LC and I agree to disagree.

 

Looks like my syllabus from my first two years in college!

 

Partly rowdy with a chance of pain...

30 Days with Gillette Fat Boy



Feather Day 2, actually better than day one. Super long busy day. Great Shave. Veg!
Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

Have a Fantastic Friday!



​

 

Tonight before the gig.....Which razor....Hmmm..Last night my ER 1914 really did acquit it's self admirably. There is none finer...and my 1933 Schick Simplified Automatic Razor, thats another one that has trancended all competition...Ohhh wait a minute...I just remembered...That Schick Repeater is ready for a blade change....muah ha ha ha ha.....Chick-Chick!

Ahhhh chalk up another Home-Run for this Schick C3, and the crowd goes Wild!

 

I see what you are saying and I absolutely agree, my friend....Til one learns the basics....keep it simple....whether shooting, shaving or racing bikes....Develope your technique til it is secondary....I'm a musician and music clinician......and the greatest players in the World, spend most their time reviewing BASICS......But after you have a handle on those....Then Experiment,.If you so desire...and let the -ADs be with you!

 

I think you're right...and check out that blade exposure...Yikes!

Ahh...You said Phil Rizzuto....I used to be a neighbor of his when I was a kid....He was making a living then doing TV commercials and hosting special movie matinees and doing guest star appearances around Richmond VA..

 

OCtober Focus Day 29:

Homemade PS Oil
Stirling Synthetic Brush
Latha SS
Gillette New LC
Stirling Unscented PSB
Latha Post Shave

Ride the cap. Ride the cap. This has really improved my technique. I kept myself strictly to a two pass shave, with no clean up. While I do have a few patches on my neck I normally would have smoothed out a bit, I am pretty close to a DFS, and I feel great. This is the perfect start to my Friday. Have a great day everyone.

Razor – Wolfman OC with Triad Ti Aristocrat
Blade – Feather (1)
Brush – Romera Olivewood Synthetic
Lather – Strop Shoppe Baker Street

Another near BBS shave this morning. Finished off with the usual witch hazel with menthol followed by CC Bay Rum AS. Happy Friday everyone.

 

I just got my Kai Captian blades yesterday. No mild for me!

 

October 30th SOTD
Two days’ growth
Preshave: Hot Shower
Razor: Union Cutlery Spike (near) Wedge, 11/16
Strop: Drygulch Leatherworks Oiled Latigo
Brush: Handturned Tulip Poplar Badger
Soap: Jabonman Lima-Incienso (Menthol)
Postshave: Cold Water Rinse, Alum Block, Thayer’s Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Vintage Avon Deepwoods

Preparing to be death today. I love when Halloween is on a Saturday so you get to dress up twice. I have a linen hooded robe, and a skull mask. Can’t take my scythe to work, but I think they will get the idea. Best part is, I am doing interviews today, so I get to have people interview with Death.
Right, shave stuff. Did a fifteen minutes on the Translucent Arkansas last night, and the razor is smoother. Going to try to take it back a little further with a slurry this weekend. I think this is my favorite soap to use. Its good stuff. Did a two pass, N/S and S/N with no touch up. DFS plus, with B- on irritation. Did have two weepers on the chin. Face, chin, and jawline are BBS, but neck is only DFS. Added some Vintage Avon aftershave, and called it good. Happy Friday!

 

I was looking at this thread yesterday, where distilled water was being discussed. I decided to use distilled water this morning and it definitely makes for a more frothy lather than when I use tap water.

Before I started this 30 day focus I measured out 20 grams (1/10th of a jar) of MDC. After using MDC daily for 30 days, I used a grand total of 9.01 grams. That is just a little over 0.3 grams / shave. Therefore, a jar of MDC should last me about 660 days for an average cost of about 12 cents / day. My conclusion is that MDC is very inexpensive.

After 30 days of practice I am getting great shaves from the Fat Boy. I am not sure I like it better than my Slim Adjustable, but it definitely can give me as good of a shave.
