30 Day Rule/Focus; August 2024. All Are Welcome!

Lovely set up brit
I feel my Gillette love stirring
Cheers

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Thanks Chris. Yes, he is leaning out. Now if I can only get him to do the X3Bar. He prefers the gym. Youth, I guess the gym is a right of passage. What he does not understand is that variable resistance gives you more bang for the buck, more forgiving on the joints. He’ll eventually see the light.

 

SRS # 1158

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Thiers-Issard Super Gnome Extra
Brush: Shore Shave Player 26 mm
Pre-Shave: Pears Transparent Soap
Lather: Tim’s Soap Busta’s Blend
Aftershave: PAA Amalfi 3K
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Awesome Busta’s Blend shave. The TI straight continues to mow down the whiskers with ease. This razor has a special place in my den being my first ever straights over 22 years ago.

The PAA Amalfi 3k splash pairs nicely with the soap. The scent to my nose reminds me a bit like Stirling’s Piacenza. Very nice all around.

Hope you all are having a great day.

 

Very nice shave Gary.

 

You had me at “Oud”. Wonderful shave Chris.

 

Thank you Gary.

thank you Joe.nice imperial leather soap scent.

 

fine friday straight razor shave Joe

Lovely British Leather and Canadian gold!
From memory I was not too fond of my British leather scent, might have to give it a whirl again soon

Sounds good, as long as he is having fun and avoiding injury. Youth's focus is on the externals, only later on do we learn to focus on the internals. Not familiar with the X3Bar though I do see they sell ' em here
For me: the occasional walk, stationary bike, rowing machine, light kettlebells: the joints won't take more than that anymore! Recovery time is longer, stretching is key, JMHO YMMV etc

Triple Oud, good for me for a stay at home day, overpowering for the wife, hugs at a distance!

Thanks again Joe

 

thank you Chris.very close to cusson's imperial leather..

 

Thank you, Joe.
