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

Nice shave Joe!

Is that bowl you have made for shaving, or is it something you repurposed? I don't recall having seen anything quite like it before...

 

Great looking setup Chris and thanks for the warm welcome. This site has always been one of the best places on the internet.

 

Sounds like a nice plan.

 

It is known in the parts, Suffolk County, as the Dumbo bowl.

 

Very nice Tabac shave Chris.

 

Very nice King R shave Joe.

Wonderful shave this morning with this software and hardware combination. The tub of soap including the plastic tub now weighs in a 33 grams. As a result, I decided to scoop the remaining soap in almond size balls which now have a number of 8 shaves remaining. I faintly hear Gordon Lightfoot in the background. My goal is to finish this soap by the end of the first week in December. At that time I will have completed 4 full tubs with an outside shot at 5 for the calendar year 2023.

I did my usual three passes with fabulous results. I hope you all have had an enjoyable day.

 

Suffolk County Long Island where I was born and raised?
Suffolk County Massachusetts, which is one county over from where I live now?
Suffolk County UK?
Some other Suffolk County I am as yet unaware of?

 

Happy with my shave this morning.....2 passes, zero across the board on cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. Clean and clear all around. I think I just need to spend more time shaving than I have in the past. I like Stoylin's Oro Valley very much. I think the Doc is now offering it in the full-sized 5.8 oz.persuasion. What I now have is 3.0. Another solid round of Clubman Special Rserve A.S. I call it "Ed Pinaud Goes West". As Outstanding As It Gets.

 

It's safe to say that Pasteur's Pharmacy soap I just ordered will be my last purchase for 2023. This pirchase increases my thinking of a NB 24.

 

Thanks Chris. I have always used my left hand when I straight/shavette shave. I do the cheeks and neck with my left, but I have only recently been shaving the left side of my chin and mustache with it.

 

Great shave and observations Chris. There is a saying, "Don't find the BBS, let the BBS find you."

 

Thanks Scott. No, it was a bowl that I picked up at my local Dollar Tree Store. I bought it for just under $1.40. In fact, my bowls were purchased from the Dollar Tree, except one. The metal bowls were a buck in change and my real cheap plastic bowls were under a $1.00. The porcelain bowl was purchased at a thrift shop for just under $3.00. Every bowl I purchased were not shave bowls. Personally, I don't find the need to buy expensive shave bowls. However, I do own 2 very expensive custom straights. Lol!

 

Joe and I live minutes apart in Suffolk County, LI.

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Beautiful shave and setup Joe!
