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

Same shave arsenal today. Almost the same result. Only area I could have improved was the left sideburn-while it was OK, I still left some astroturf. Clean and clear everywhere else. One pass. No cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. Proraso's been a fine product for me. I'm gradually getting it to look more like a cloud than a squiggly snaks as I squeeze out the foam. Wonderful scent. Super Duper Outstanding.

 

Super encore shave Chris. I do them every so often, especially when I get lazy placing another setup and I don’t put the original setup away.

 

thank you Chris.

Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...I can't recall the last time that I used the Parker 92R, which provided me with a close efficient shave.

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap provided a good slick performing lather leaving an excellent post shave feel. It's always a pleasure to use Williams which is sadly no longer made.

The Indian Gillette guard continues to mow through my head stubble with effortless ease.

A close comfortable face and head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Boots Freshwood ASB.

My face & precious swede are both feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

 

Wonderful shave and collection Gary.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Excellent Williams shave Barry.

 

Another fabulous 37c shave Chris. Can go wrong with M.I.T.A

 

Thank you Chris. I have over 40 brushes between the two dens. The problem is that I keep seeing excellent craftsmanship in the various groups I belong to from talented artisan. At times it has been hard to resist.
I have been much better with that lately, although receiving a few brushes as gifts over the years has inflated the inventory.

 

Very nice shave Joe. How much longer before you Edmund this soap?

I know you are looking forward to having some one PIF you another tub. Let us know when this occurs. We don’t want to clutter up your den with extra tubs until necessary.

Joe’s, @Trigger, reply:

 

Wonderful Williams shave Barry. I have used Williams and it did provide a slick lather. My only criticism is that the lather faded.

 

Thanks Joe. I would say I have a few months.

 

Real fine shave this morning. One glitch at North Porcupine cost me from a gold-medal grade. Painless Knick on the first pass. No cuts, Polka-dots. Clean&clear most areas. This Razorock American Barber soap will be purchased again when need be.2 passe. Clubman A.S. was great. . Super Duper Outstanding.

 

thank you Joe.they are hard to find.thankful to a fellow TSD member.
