February '16 - 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion Thread

Eject blade, inject any other blindly, problem solved.....using my "Mr. Roboto" voice....

 

Thanks Doug. Everyone needs at least one Schick repeater in their den

 

What are your thoughts on the Plastic Shave? Kinda wacky scent huh?

 

wow its out there! probably way too sweet for most, as it is for me as well. But it dissipates quickly and has a great face feel like all the Myrsol products. Im very much hooked on their Limon and Blue.

 

Yeah, I own most of them and like em a lot. Masaje Antesol is my favorite.

 

Day 14 - Schick repeater focus

Another pretty decent shave again today. Nothing really to add now that Ive got this little razor sorted out. It could easily be a daily driver, but Ive got too many other great razors waiting to be used. I did commit to using it until the blade dulls and that hasnt happened yet, so will be using it again tomorrow.

 

Thanks, I'll look for one.

 

Great pic I love the brush

 

Thanks Tom.

 

IMHO the Gillette Red Tip is one of the best razors Gillette ever made. Thanks for your kind thoughts.

I tried face lathering again, haven't done that in a bit, got a fantastic lather the first pass. It was just a little thin on the third pass/touch up. I just need to go back to the soap, I think. Lady friend loves Dragon's Blood scent, making her some dinner this evening. She really digs the BBS shaves. Hope everyone has a great Valentine's day!

 

Thank you

Phenomenal. I was a bit leary going into this shave with a new razor that I wanted to give a fair trial run, I hadn't shaved in maybe a week and my beard was getting thick. My wife even asked me if I was growing a beard. Normally I'd use my iKon B1 Standard for a shave as such but I wanted to put the Blackland Blackbird to test.
The first thing I noticed was how well the blade sat on the cap, no movement at all. I went with the 101mm handle and I love it! I had no problems finding the proper cutting angle as it was a natural feel. I did after my second pass take the razor apart to clean the hair off the blade, that's how long my beard was the razor did not clog or need to be disassembled I wanted to clean the blade. Can you say OCD... 3 pass shave. I don't like using BBS very often, I feel its overplayed. Today's shave was BBS. I could not have asked for a better piece of shaving hardware to use. @ShaneS you nailed it! @Troy M you sold me! The BB is phenomenal! I can't wait to shave tomorrow.
I really needed this shave today, you'd be surprised what it did for my ailing injury.
I also shaved my head, first pass was with the BB, and finished with my Gillette Atra.

Great setup!!

 

Great write up Kerry. It is amazing what a good shower and shave do for your mental health when you're feeling bad. Hope you get some relief soon.

 

Thanks, Clint! Yeah it's amazing what getting groomed will do. What's even more alarming is that my beard is now all white. Can't have that. My wife turns 50 in 8 days and still gets carded for booze.

 

The only time I get carded anymore is when my wife gets carded. They kind of feel sorry for me and throw me a sympathy request for my ID. It is fairly common for her to get asked.

Every time I go a few days without shaving, I notice more whites in there. This morning, I think the whites definitely out numbered the darks.

Glad to hear you are on the mend!

 

It is amazing how your wife got through her difficult time. Very happy for you and your wife. Faith is an amazing thing. : happy096:

 

That's some nice stuff! The BB is high on me list also. Glad your feeling better.
