December 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Great popsicle stick shave, Bill!

 

That's hard to tell from the 3D printed mockup. This is basically a 24mm version of the 30mm I made earlier. I love how that one feels in my hand. I suppose I could make the 30mm version for people who want it. The cost would be slightly more.

I'll make one in aluminum before I start mass producing them. I doubt there will be an issue but if there is I'll adjust the design.



The solid aluminum handles have a good amount of weight to them which I really like, but don't drop one on your foot.

 

Duh, you did say mock up. My bad ! Love the aluminum one. Nice work !

 

No problem at all Dave! And Thanks! I 3D print my designs before going through the CAM process. The one time I didn't I ended up with a goofy looking brush.

Don't look directly at it. It's painful.

 

Wow. I love the look of the brush. Count me in for a red or blue one.

 

I think I am one of the few people who have saved money. I continue to drool at many things, but in the end, there will always be something else even if I had what I wanted at the moment.

Chris - enjoying learning, whatever the subject

 

Thank you, Clint!
The process I followed today was something I read on some Proraso instructions on how to properly use their pre-shave cream. I figured it would work just as well with pre-shave oil. Either way, it felt soothing.
I remember watching a Truefitt & Hill barber use the same process in a YouTube video (using T&H pre-shave oil).
Also...I saw Bill - @Edison Carter performing a similar pre-shave process with soap lather on one of his videos. Thanks, Bill!

 

Congratulations on the sale!

 

Great design, Evan!

 

Nicely done Bill

 

Congrats Joseph. This gent made out well. I'm sure he will enjoy these goodies for many years.

 

I think I still have an unused bottle of AOS Sandalwood pre-shave oil. I need to find it and give it a try. Thank you for the tip.

 

Beautiful work and a unique design, Evan. How secure is the grip on a polished handle if it is wet?

 

Excellent shave Evan.

 

Thanks Clint. The Outlets were a zoo. I stay in the car. The missus was in and out of the Disney store in twenty minutes.

 

I don't have any issues holding them. The wide base of the handle fits well in the palm and fingers grap fairly securely in the narrow neck. I suppose it depends on one's hand strength, but I don't imagine it would be a problem.

The polished finish looks a little nicer but I can bead blast them too. It's a little less work for me. The bead blasted brown looks just like a piece of chocolate.



I doubt you'd have a problem with a polished anodized brush but if you did I can exchange or refinish it.

Thanks Jeff!

 

Wow! I like this design. I would be interested.
