30 Day Rule/Focus; Feb 2023. All are welcome!

Aaaah, I'm no Knicks fan....in shaving OR basketball.

 

Thank you Joe

 

I will adjust. Looking forward to many great shaves with it.

 

Three passes are my norm.

 

Yes, I also have the Grande. I like all of my Fatip razors. Modern razors in the vintage style. If it ain't bbroke, don't fix it! LOL Multi-blade cart razors are ALL about profit. I get less irritation and better shaves with the vintage and the modern versions of the vintage.[/QUOTE]
Agreed.

 

I've been toying with moving up to 3. Maybe that will help get rid of the astroturf Im feeling on my cheeks.

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: PAA Injector - Type L
Blade: Persona Injector
Brush: Jayaruh 382 “Civil War” Boar
Lather: Proraso Aloe and Vitamin E
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Musk

Excellent injector shave this morning. Three passes with the luxurious lather of the Proraso soap. The Jayaruh boar brush whipped up a very nice lather, enough for three passes and one post shave application.

I am ready for another day in the Florida sun.

Have a great day gentlemen.

 

A fine Throwback Thursday shave this morning. 5 less Knicks today than yesterday. That results in GOOSE EGGS. . Solid amount of the Bay Rum soap onto the Razorock brush. I made sure there was a lot of soap everywhere on my face and neck. Nice and clean over all areas. 2 passes. The Stephan Bay Rum aftershave felt real nice. As Oustanding As It Gets.

 

Can’t hurt…then

Do what is most comfortable for your face.

 

Molto bene!

 

Right-thank you . One thing for sure-no more beards/mustaches.

 

Thanks Joe . What a change from yesterday.

"If it ain't broke,then don't fix it!"..Well said Gary. The Grande is wonderful razor. My Vintage & modern Injector razors are now my go to razors for my head/done shaves. Vintage razors are superb shaving tools.

 

Lovely shave Joe.

 

I just got my new addition to my den. It is the Gillette Heritage Razor. @poppi, Thanks again for offering it in the TSD Raffle and the 2 tucks of Blades. I will be shaving with it this afternoon.

 

Feb 23. SOTA

Good afternoon.

Gillette Heritage Razor
Gillette Platinum DE Blade (fresh)
MrEE Tuxedo Brush
Stirling Spice SS, AS, EdT
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 24 hrs



This picture shows that I was going to use the Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade, but I changed my mind and used the Gillette Platinum blades that came in the set.



Today, I just got this razor delivered to me so I decided to try it. I have to say that it's a nice razor. The weight is more in the handle, but I am OK with it because it's not a heavy razor. The knurling gave me a nice grip. This is a mild razor so I probably won't use it for heavier stubble , but I am fine with it. The razor's head and base are almost identical to the Muhle R89 and the EJ89. I guess if I somehow damage the head that ai can easily replace it. It is also the very first time that I have used a Gillette Platinum blade and I have to say that I like it. It's smooth and pretty sharp to take down my 1 day stubble.
I decided to take a rest from the Stirling Lavender Bergamot and break open my new Stirling Spice tub. I would say it's not as strong as the original Stirling Spice, but I still like the scent.

Did a 3 pass shave for a BBS shave without any drama. I really appreciate mild razors, but I still like aggressive ones. Lol!
Just had one zing from the alum block and the matching aftershave gave me some burn. Maybe it was due to the fact that I did a double splash. Chuckling. Finished with the piece de resistance with the matching EdT. I smell and look good. Take care.

 

Thank you Joe

 

Very nice acquisitions Joe. Love the Stirling Spice.

 

It's a nice razor. Congrats!

 

Thanks Joe. Like I mentioned, the Stirling Spice is not as strong s my last tub, but it still is very nice.
