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

I did indeed...Looked a bit better than previous lathers. 50 it is . Course we'll see how the triple-milled soaps look.

 

thank you Charlie,am doing well,lots of work shifts at present,helping the Mrs.in the garden today,sunny outside.life is grand.

 

you can adjust as needed,50 on a triple milled is a good start as well.

 

Thanks.....I'll work with it. I just finished correcting typoss on my statement before you replied to it.

 

Thank you Charlie. Yes, college hockey can be quite entertaining both on the ice and in the stands.

 

Superb Gary

 

Thank you Gary.

 

I dug up some history, Paul. Over the years, we've had the Louisville Blades, Shooting Stars, Rebels, Icehawks, RiverFrogs, and Panthers. By gum, I do live in a Hockey Town! I'm fairly sure we saw the Icehawks and maybe also the RiverFrogs.

If I hear of any rumblings for a new hockey team, I'll pitch your team name suggestion of Racers. It's a good one, but it might go over better in nearby Indianapolis where the 500 runs.

We went to see our Minor League baseball team play yesterday, The Louisville Bats. It was a fun day, and they won. Minor League Baseball has gained more popularity around here over the years, especially since Louisville Slugger bats are made here.

 

thank you Joe.

 

Terrific shave and post John. I am looking forward to your findings.

 

Awesome shave Barry.

 

I have to thank Gary for his input. It's not my razor, but it belongs to one the ladies at the Senior Center.

 

Please don't give my friend who lives down the road any ideas. Lol!

 

Good deal, Paul.

Gary's lathering advice is on the money. It's better when I overload a brush with soap or cream, add water slowly, and take my time to build the lather I'm looking for. I add water slowly until the soap won't take anymore regardless of how much I work it with the brush. The signal to me is that it just starts to "break" or thin out. That's when I stop adding water. For me, that's when the lather is just right when it comes to slickness on the skin...@trigger's lather shots capture the desired consistency well.

I thought I knew how to build a good lather until I got a bowl and really started to focus on it. I have learned that a properly hydrated lather makes my shave much more comfortable, and the chances for nicks is greatly reduced. It's also a good way to get focused on the shave itself...very relaxing.

 

If she'll loan it to you, Joe, it would make a fun focus.

 

@JACarbone I've been away for awhile. Would you please share the backstory on Joe's dumbo bowl? How am I supposed to tease him about it, or better yet, embellish the story? I'm guessing it has something to do with the waitress where you guys meet, or possibly with the gals at Joe's various get-togethers. Too bad there are no Piggly Wiggly's in LI.

 

Wonderful shave and a wonderful game Joe. I am sure Anthony will fondly remember this game many years from now.

 

Terrific shave Joe.

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Super shave and setup Gary.
