February 2021 30 Day Rule/30 Day Focus Pic and Discussion Thread- All are Welcome

I think I went over some previous rough territory(meaning from a day or two before). The speed bump was high.

 

I'd like to think I'm one of your fellow countrymen, which means it can't be Monday for me. Oh wait.....it is.

 

I see. Here's a suggestion. While shaving an area with a cut, cover the wound with your non-dominant finger so you don't go over it.

 

My NO75 is on the chopping block also. Just not got around to selling yet.

Stay warm and safe Charlie.

 

Great looking Gem Jr and 1508.5 cool setup Dave!

 

Beautiful shave and photo line up of products.

I used yo have a bunch of dupes that were perfect matches but weaker. Fun names like Pool for Polo and Fear Night for Farenheit. Big Lots for the win

Great shave. The fact that you maintain your own and can shave with it is a success and it will only get better I'm sure.

Thanks Charlie

Thanks Jeff

Thanks Joe. Please let me know how the WD-40 works for you. I'm REALLY interested

EXACTLY

Yep, that's why I nabbed the Bakelite too. Sometimes I pay attention

Be safe Charlie. I'm frustrated that I don't have all the ingredients for my Drunken Hot Dogs and I'm iced in already......... I do have the bourbon though so we're good. Lol

Nice shave Paul

 

Thanks Blair

 

Thanks Dave....turned out fine in the end.

 

Nice Clint! Too bad about the Nodachi, sounds like you’re ready for the BST to be over already!

Cool Hawk Hulk image and setup Pierpaolo!

Sweet shave combination back at the homestead Jeff!

The Trafalgar T3 rocks any soap or cream…awesome shave & image Danny!

Some serious fraghead descriptions & juice there Joseph! Nice combination & images also!

 

Thanks Joe....I'll try that. Then hopefully the wound can clear up during the day.

 

Here’s our ride, keep luxury circa 1975!

 

I hope you are OK, Jeff!

Thanks Joe. TDH refers to Terre d’Hermès Parfum. I really love this stuff.

I hope the cut heals quickly, Paul. Probably a good idea to skip shaving over this area for a couple of days. Stretching the skin helps, taking short and slightly overlapping strokes, using a proper angle, and no pressure helps me prevent cuts. You'll get there.

You are, my friend.

Thanks Clint. You too. Happy Monday!

You too, Dave. The weather all over the state has been crazy the past couple of weeks. My Bride says to make sure to add chopped onions to the bourbon hot dogs.

 

Funny how subjective all this is. The NO75 is in my top three or four razors if not number one.

My mini focus using my Timeless razors has them climbing the ladder quickly. Seems my opinion is easily swayed.

Fantastic shave to finish out my three shave run with the .95. A couple Timeless razors to go then I think I'll do another mini focus but this time with my Blackland razors.

Fine SS - Fresh Vetiver
BSSW Disco - Hybrid Badger
Osiris 10/8
Terre d’Hermes AS & EdP

Several days’ growth mowed down today with the Osiris 10/8 shave hatchet. 2.5 uneventful passes, BBS smooth. Last half pass is what gets the right jawline and neck done, an awkward blade rotation and grip, toe down, nearly ATG, using light landings, along with buffing strokes from ear to chin. Fine’s SS and the Brad Sears Shave Works hybrid badger produced an awesome fragrant & slick lather, used a mix of bowl and face lathering today. Finished with an awesome favorite that lasts all day and into the evening, Terre d’Hermes AS & matching EdP.

Historic weather event we’re having here in Texas, it’s 8 degrees Fahrenheit, feels like temps in the -10F range. Pretty much the same (or colder) for the next 24-48 hours. And….TX’s power grid is overwhelmed. Rolling power outages statewide, we’ve lost power a few times already today, 45 minutes to an hour and a half at a time. Some areas have had outages even longer. Woke up to another 4-5 inches of snow. Today’s image doesn’t come close to showing what’s around. We’re pushing 7-8 inches in our yard & neighborhood. Probably no big deal to most northerners used to this, but for most of TX….literally getting shelter in place emails, texts, phone calls & warnings from city and county departments. Crazy. We’ll be fine…have portable generators, gas fireplace, and plenty of goodies. And….obviously cell service!

 

Long weekend here in toque county eh! Sorry to rub that in Clint . Awesome shave buddy.

Bellissimo Pierpaolo

Glad you are home safely and all shaved smooth again Jeff

Very nice setup Danny . Take care down there

Awesome report Primo

How many shaves were on the Wilky before you binned it Paul? Normally they are 10x smoother than the green Astras .

I dont have a bakelite but I've made a wooden handle for mine and it works awesome. Bit longer and makes handling that larger head easier in my opinion

 

Nice kit there Jim

 

Now do you want the flamethrower? Stay warm and safe Blair
