April 2022 30 Day Rule/Focus and Discussion. All Are Welcome!

thank you Joe.

 

saturday sneak peek..

 

awesome Joe.

 

That's a super Saturday setup Gary!

 

I can't wait for my first shave of the month tomorrow morning.

 

thank you Joe.i may try to do most of my works shaves with it this month.i can use a mild setting.

 

very cool.anything new ?

 

Unfortunately, no. I just haven't used Artie in awhile and decided to open up the month using it. I committed to using Arko soap with an adjustable razor 8x so I wanted to get a straight shave right out of the gate. I shave about 20x in a month so almost half of my shaves will be adjustables. It means I will have at least 12 straight/shavette shaves. Finally, I am not looking to buy any more hardware, unless I find a Filly Novodor for a reasonable price. That will happen when pigs fly. Lol!

 

fair enough.you owe yourself a trip to Pasteur's..do a tour for the den...enjoy your shave.

 

I have been wanting to go to Pasteur's, but I know what is going to happen. Lol!

 

..i know what would happen if i went ..

 

Hi!

This is by far the worst shaving video I have ever made. Please watch the entire 8 minutes, and especially the last three and a half minutes, as there is some good stuff that I really want to share with you all. I hope you enjoy it!

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...It's been while since i last added the Muhle R41...With the lightest of touch both the razor & blade was a smooth duo slicing through my stubble with effortless ease.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Great pic, setup and shave Barry! The Mühle R41 is definitely a get it done shaver. I have the R102 (R41) and it is a great headshaver. I am glad I got it in my collection.

April 2 SOTD

Good morning!



Straight razor shave #356
13/8 ArtRazor 1000 (21)
MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
Razorock XX SS
Stirling Coconut Lime AS
Maggard's Alum Block
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 40.5 hrs

It's my first shave in the month and decided to have Artie do the honors. The last time I shaved with it was Jan 12. Anyway, Evan's brush performed well. It produced a nice, creamy, thick lather.

I did a 2.5 pass shave. My first pass is always with the grain and the second is always against the grain. My half pass is against the grain on the neck and lower chin area. I did get a nice, close shave, but got a micro weep on the left corner of my mouth. However, it disappeared with splashing cold water and without styptic or alum intervention.

The alum gave some feedback, but it wasn't outrageous. Witch hazel was applied to calm my skin. I don't have the matching aftershave, but that's fine because I can use any aftershave with the Razorock XX. The scent on this soap is very light and neutral. I picked Stirling Coconut Lime aftershave because it's almost finished. Have a great Saturday!

 

Wow! That's the way to start the month Eric!

 

Thank you Gary...Throwback Week's been fun...wraps up tomorrow.

 

be well Chris.take care

 

fine start to the month Joe.
