February 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I like them very much. No I'm not. . But back to your "comments", I have the only 2 Clubmen aftershaves I need. Original and Special Reserve. Yes, it would have been more "old-school" of me to go back to Napoleon's time(I mean, after all, did Napoleon have a Social Security number? Was he on the internet?-yuk yuk), but.............VEG?
nahh.

 

All wet shavers should at least TRY it. It is almost like a rite of passage, and a shaving shenanigan that doesn't put one at risk of needing stitches. Plus, you never know what'll happen. It might choose you.

It did not choose me. I did not get cat urine out of it, but rather a base note of home permanent. But it was worth the try, just to say I did.

 

Hi guys....Tried the Slim with another Astra Superior blade, couldn't get much done, I'm afraid. Maybe I'm messing up on the ANGLE aspect. It's quite possible that I set it up the way I want(the angle)and then just as blade touches face, it slips on me. I can definitely HEAR some shaving action, but I want to FEEL it, too, of course. Maybe I'll go to power 4 and see if there's a difference. Other than that,I must have loaded real well, as the soap now looks quite bumpy.

 

Tell you what....if they have some at the Sally's Beauty near me, I'll WHIFF it a few times to see if it chooses me. But the cat urine aspect is what drives me away. Many have described it that way.

 

My wife is sort of fussy about scents, so I was really excited that she likes this one. Most of the more pronounced scents that I really like, she doesn't much care for, so they are relegated to those days when she isn't around.

Is it the tobacco element she doesn't like? If she likes the vanilla note, maybe you could try a sample of Stirlings Vanilla Sandalwood. It was a little too much vanilla for me, but it does have a good woody element to it.

 

I daily because of my job, it just depends if I do it at night and take my time and use a DE or act lazy and use the electric in the morning.

I sometimes prefer the electric because it does such a bad job I get a bit more growth in the evening. If I DE everyday I sometimes feel like im just dragging it across the skin.

You had probably better warn the people working there what you are going to do. With no warning, you are liable to clear out the store, and end up charged as a terrorist by homeland security for releasing a toxic material into a public place.

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

Thanks, Mr. Fabulous!

 

It's not my wife's favorite, but she likes it enough to keep it in the rotation.

 

Learn something new every day. Some lessons may save your life.
Thank you Brian!

 

Not sure what the element/note is that she isn't fond of. At this point I'm just going to stand my ground. By stand my ground, I mean stand ON the ground, in front of the calendar, and see which days she is away for work travel or stuff with the kids...

 

Shall we start a pool?

 

That's what I do with Ben Franklin.

 

Clever marketing. I chuckle thinking about old men's pantaloons in July. Can you describe the actual scent?

 

Kind of like a bay rum, but with a Dr. Pepper or a root beer dumped into it. It is clovey, which I normally don't care for, but it works for me in this.

@Norcalnewb likes this one I think. Maybe he can describe it better.

 

I should check Amazon to see how many people have bought it, and what their reviews are. I bet SLIGHTLY less than the Original

 

I refuse to eat cooked fish of any sort.

 

Slowed down Sunday shaves are the best!

 

Glad to hear the brush is working out! R66 isn't hype!
