August 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

August 31

Finished my focus yesterday. Shaved late yesterday with the Feather SS to finish up the 30 days, thought I'd just grab a nice "free shave" today with a DE razor and just enjoy the shave before starting September. Set my alarm for 6am as usual, the alarm went off as usual and I realized that, due to the late shave yesterday, I could skip today and sleep another hour instead. So, the debate in my head begins.....shave......sleep........shave........sleep.........this went on for, oh, probably 3 seconds and I set the alarm for 7 and didn't give it another thought. Sometimes, you just gotta sleep. Hope your month ended well. Mine is over, I can say that.

Thanks for being such a good sport Neal, one of the many traits I appreciate about you. I tend to go overboard sometimes, so thanks for taking my post as intended - a huge compliment. I'm a big fan of self-deprecation.

I agree - all the guys you mentioned are absolutely the reason this site is as great as it is, Chris included. But we cannot expect their constant presence and its people like you, Clint, Adam and a host of others that step up, and you always do, and help others out. And I've learned something not just from that first group, but also from all that I just mentioned - plus guys who have less shaves than I do who have experienced one nuance that they toss out that helps me along.

So I guess I'm saying we all have something to share and help others with, and have a responsibility to do just that.


Ok, I'm going back to the ballgame now.

 

Ok, it looks like we need one last group hug for August.

 

I'm gutted.

Had all my favourite kit ready for my final August shave and due to unforseen circumstances I didn't have enough time!

Will sneak it in tonight.
