30 Day Rule/Focus; October 2024. All Are Welcome.

Oct 13 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Shavette Shave #581
Parker SRB
1/2 Suneko Amorphous Diamond DE Blade (13)
MrEE Tuxedo Brush
Pedro Fiasco's Limoncello SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 27.5 hrs



Did a 3 pass error-free shave with an excellent result. The Suneko blade is still sharp after 13 shaves. Didn't have any alum feedback. I went with the Limoncello today. It has a wonderful scent and produces a slick, creamy and easy lather. Here's my lather:



Splashed on the witch hazel and the matching aftershave to end this session. Take care.

Terrific Thanksgiving shave Gary.

 

Thank you, Joe. About to go to my sister's house for Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends.

 

Monday October 14 (evening) - Odds and Ends & Osage Rub October plus Menthol Monday

Prep: Hot shower with Aleppo olive oil soap w/ 20% bay laurel oil (traditional anti-acne)

Razor: Parker Adjustable (SE) injector on setting 5 / Supply white label (made by Personna)(5)

Soap: J M Fraser's Shaving Cream

Brush: Simpson's Chubby 2 Synthetic Bristle

Lather Bowl: None

Post: rinse, alum, rinse, Osage Rub and Clubman VIBR

Last shave: Thursday morning - 4.5 days

The setup:



I did a mix and match shave today of assorted items.

The JM Fraser's is now more a rubbery croap than a cream, but it still loads easily and face lathers well.

I kept the Parker Adjustable injector to its maximum setting of 5. It removed most of my stubble with two easy passes WTG and XTG with no irritation noted. However, I noticed a few missed whiskers and rather than do a bit of cleanup, I opted to do a full third pass ATG. Not my usual thing.

Alum was a bit warm overall but no real stinging anywhere and no blood.

Since it is Monday, I opted to do a Menthol finish. That called for the Osage Rub, followed by the ClubmanVIBR for a different burn.

Overall, a very good shave.

And now off for (Canadian) Thanksgiving dinner...

 

thank you Joe.

 

fabulous menthol monday shave John.Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Excellent shave John. Enjoy your dinner with your sister.

Greetings,

Early Morning shave.

Out of all my parker DE razors the 24C took more than a fair few shaves for me to bond with it. However, once I adjusted to using a steeper angle, which parker razors require IMHO, it rewarded me with close efficient shaves...Some razors take a while before you bond with them, the 24C was the one for me.

The Erasmic shave cream produced a great lather in a short space of time, with a great post shave feel.

Another close comfortable face & head shave.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

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

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Glad you got off lightly Joe,

Thanks Joe

Righty-O! I can see that now, Will stick with the lip balm for the moment, it is better than most others I find

Super chunky looking razor Gary.
