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

This was about the same shave as yesterday.....great job at the Loading Dock, clean and clea most everywhere except more issues at both ends of Porcupine(in the form of Knicks-3). 2 passes. The Proraso A.S. neutralized the 3, as well as gave the rest of my face and necka nice feel. I've been improving down at Cactus Nation lately. Pretty Outsanding.

 

Shulton originally made Blue Stratos. Link: Blue Stratos Shulton Company cologne - a fragrance for men 1974 (fragrantica.com) and your correct you will have seen the new versions of both the A/S & EDT on offer. The new version is made Key Sun laboratories. Link 1: Blue Stratos Key Sun Laboratories cologne - a fragrance for men (fragrantica.com) Link 2: Blue Stratos | Men's Fragrances | Key Sun Laboratories both the A/S & EDT are well both checking out. Hope this clue's things up for you.

 

Thank you,Joe. Ach Brito Mogno is firm favourite of mine.

 

Two wonderful Autumn/Fall shave set ups to conclude your SEptember focus.

 

Nice handle on that Ghost Trails brush Joe, and good to see lots of SE razors this month including your 1912

Thanks Joe

Thanks Joe, will have to go listen to that soon

Thanks Joe, I have a few more samples to get through though, where do they all come from!? Lol

Thanks Paul, was just wondering is all

 

Nice Links there Barry, I guess I will have to remember where I saw them/it and try some samples

30 Sep 2024
SE razor, Sterling Sample soap MITA, Semogue brush



2 Days growth

Usual Prep and Preshave = Faulding’s shave cream
Cream/Soap = Sterling MITA, menthol, but mildly so
Brush = Semogue Owners club finest badger
Bowl = Goodfellas Smile, blue
Razor = GEM Micromatic OC
Blade = GEM (day 1)
Passes = 2 + clean ups
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal
ASL = PR Rinfrescante
Scent = Prada Ocean Luna Rossa
Score = 9 / 10
Damage = Minor weeper below the jawline left side, sad way to end the month but it cleared up spontaneously during the 2nd pass

The fresh blade and the OC nature of the Micromatic were a force to reckon with. The razor felt heavier than it actually is, it’s only around 10g heavier than the G-bar, but almost double the weight of the Schick SE’s I currently have. Good clean shave but one gets a sense of not wanting to push things too far, so I left it as good enough at a 9 / 10

I will park this razor back in the shed until a later date

Great start to the week and great way to end the month

I ran out of days to try out all the S’s of September….

 

thank you Chris

A good example of this-I'll have the same razor for my next two shaves-I always do just one pass with foam/cream shaves from a can. Course when I get back to soaps, it's decision time.

 

Thx Gary

 

Beautiful razor and shave. Gary.

 

thank you Joe.bit of a what if razor.they had rfb tuckaways in england but they had a different handle.

 

I decided to forego shaving today because I want to start the new month with a head and face shave. I am leaning toward using my Mühle R102. I may use one of my TSD shave soaps or the PAA/ King R Emporium soap.

 

awesome Joe.
