30 Day Rule/Focus; May 2023. All Are Welcome!

Thanks for the tips Joe, have a great Saturday!

 

Nice work this morning. It goes without saying that a warm-ish shave soap in the summer must be accompanied by a cool menthol A.S. Course that's only for seasonal shavers like the man writing this. Success on the cheeks&sideburns(although I hate to admit to having ingrown hairs in the middle of each cheek). Both ends of Porcupine came out well. I had 2 Knicks on Cactus DURING the shave, but the cold-water rinse and aftershave took care of THOSE persuasions. I think it was a post by @Primotenore that said, in effect, forget the DURING, concentrate on the AFTER. Good advice. I did miss a little on the top side of Cactus(near the jawline), on which I will focus tomorrow. The earlier mentioned aftershave was Mennen Skin-Bracer, which felt real nice. Topped it off with Passion 4 Men cologne. Solid ending to a 2-pass shave. Most Outstanding.

 

Thank you Joe.

Thank you Gary

 

Absolutely wonderful shave Gary.

 

thank you Joe.

 

So I picked up some vintage skin bracer at the antique shop. Having a hard time guessing the age of this juice is. Wanna guess maybe late 50s early 60s. Also found a 1940s old spice mug. Didn’t buy it because I already have one.

I did a 3 pass shave because I just made more than enough lather and I just like this scent very much. On the second pass, the edge was slightly tuggy so I refreshed it on my pasted strop. Ah, that was much better. Lol! Got a microweep. but it disappeared on its own, and I attribute it to the slight tugging from the edge. I did get a nice comfortable and close shave.

I was going to hold off doing a headshave until tomorrow, butI decided to do it because I have 3 days of Turf. Also, I wanted more of that scent. Lol! Because I was just planning on doing a face shave, I just made enough or so I thought.


Obviously, my residual lather was not very voluminous, but still slick enough to get the job done. I used the Mühle R102 (R41) with a fresh Gillette Wilkinson Sword Blade. I only needed 2 instead of my usual 3 passes with touchups.
My posts have alum treatment had very little feedback. Splashing the matching aftershave and spraying the matching EdT had a hypnotic effect on me. My den smells wonderful too. Lol! Take care.

 

That's a nice pickup Myles. It may be early 1940's, but that's only my guess. You are just shy of 2 yrs in the Marine Corps. I am proud of you my friend. Stay well.

 

cool score Myles.

 

fine shave and pic Joe.

 

Thanks Joe! Whatever the date is. Smells nice still.

Thanks Gary.

 

Hope all is well Myles. I think that is a good score. How is the scent after all these years?

 

Very nice Joe. Halloween is still a few months away and I thought you were not a fan. Just wondering why you got into a microwave facial costume?
