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

Excellent Danny.

 

thank you Joe.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Awesome shave using a local artisans soap and aftershave Joe.

 

Thanks Joe. I will not use this soap as often as I would like because once it is fitzed, then it's gone forever. Fortunately, I still have an unused tub and a half -full tubof Music City Suds Lavender to keep me satisfied. However, when they are gone, that's it for them as well. Thank goodness it will never a long time before those 2 tubs are gone.

 

thanks Joe

 

Awesome shaves everyone. I have LL softball starting back up and 3 business trips in 4 weeks. Taking a bit of a sabbatical from shave focus, but am reading/enjoying all the posts…

 

14 Feb 2024
Flexible, Favourite, Feather, Fatip, Fine, Felce, whatever grabs my Fancy

Growth = 1 day



Fancied even More Bay Rum

Prep = 2 x 30 second tap water soak
Preshave = TOBS Jermyn street cream
Soap = Sterling Bay Rum
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Merkur 37C
Blade = Derby Premium (3)
Passes = 3
Post = Usual tap water rinse, Alum was silent, tap water rinse, Thayers
ASL = Stirling Bay Rum
Damage = none

Score = 9.8 / 10

Comments = Another sterling Sterling shave. Love the double dose of BR. Bit of extra scent to the pulse points to add some spice to Feb 14th

Three passes with intra-pass WTG XTG and ATG as needed, This seems to work well for me
Surprised by the smoothness of the blade on Day 3, probably largely due to the Sterling
Lovely post shave skin protection

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, one and all

 

Fine shave today. Good work at the Loading Dock, recalling the advice I've seen-"tips(of the brush)only". Course I didn't follow that EXACTLY, as I do tend to load other parts of the brush, too.. But the advice led to a clean&clear shave most everywhere(except around the area of the Ingrown Hairs on Cactus). Zero across the board on cuts, Knicks, Polka-Dots. Just solid Stoylin work. Good finish from the Puros aftershave. Cured cigar leaf is the scent of this one. Maybe comparable to Tabac? This one gets a As Outstanding As It Gets. Miles better than yesterday's Very Mediocre.

 

For any of you planning to purchase Stephan Bay Rum in the near future, don't go to Walmart. The price blew me away in a shocking way. Maybe their listed price pertained to the TUB, not the 16 oz. bottle. Much better deal at WB Barber, where I got my last one.

 

awesome set up and pic Chris.

I wasn't aware that the Stoylin Bay Rum consisted of GREEN liquid.

 

Aaaaah, don't you know the kids playing softball PREFER th shaved look from their fans.

 

LOL- I'm staying shaved, still most every day as I have now come to appreciate being cleaner shaven. It's the gear selection, pictures and time to be online that's been tough. I'm going to post a SOTD or two here as I can, and have an idea for another focus in March. My last trip to Vegas is over about a week into next month, and then I will be in better shape timewise...

 

It's all good Scott.

 

Beautiful pic and shave Chris.
