January 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

If this helps with your resume , you coached me with the shavette last year and i think you did an excellent job!

 

Around here they inject about 1/8" of treatment to outside of wood and call it pressure treatment. Wood rots after a year maybe 2. I know what you're saying Randy

You're results are good. I prefer the Rapira in the Luxor but other blades work well also. Great shave Charlie

 

Monday morning shave....better!
So much better I had to post sooner than later!
Using this little open blade cutter is going right on schedule....

This morning I used my left hand to start (I'm right handed) and things were much better. 2 full passes and some touch up left me with a good shave and only 1 hot spot just above the adams apple. I still need to get the neck closer in two spots but that will come with time.
The head shave 3 passes, no issues, smooth and nice!!
I have 3 shaves on each blade so we will see how Tuesdays shave goes.

Thanks every one for the encouragement (read enabling)!

SOTD January 14, 2019
Alphabetical journey through soaps and creams
Letter N

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: GEM PTFE
Razor: GEM Featherweight
Brush: JR #41 badger
Soap: Nivea body shaving shave stick
Post: Witch hazel, Fine American Blend aftershave

Nivea shave stick is my letter N offering. This is a new drug store shave stick. Someone just picked one up at TJ Maxx for $4. I got this one at Walgreens. Anyway, it works really well. Excellent lather and post-shave feel. Slick, easy to rinse, etc. Really enjoyable shave product. The Featherweight behaved beautifully and all came together for a nice Monday shave. Letter O tomorrow with Oleo New City soap and splash.

Have a great day!

 

Thank you, Patrick!

Even when I scroll past the name, I can always tell when it is Charlie posting.

I notice the shave stick is for “body shaves”. Thank you for keeping your report short, Perry.

 

December 14 SOTD:

Razor: Gillette Fatboy
Blade: Voskhod
Brush: Ever-Ready 150
Lather: CO Bigelow
Aftershave: Proraso Green
Additional Care:
Stirling Unscented PSB

A nice Monday morning shave with some CO Bigelow and my Fatboy. I like this SC so much that when I saw it at the local Bath & Body Works I had to pick up another tube. They don't always carry it at this store, so I had to take advantage. A little Proraso Green put the finishing touch on this shave. It is my bride's birthday today, so we will have a little celebration this evening. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

Great picture, Terry!

 

Wonderful picture, Perry!

Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
Soap: Proraso Red
PAA Star Jelly unscented
AS: Proraso Red Lozione

Good morning!

One pass with the shavette this morning. I had intentions of doing two but a pretty good knick on my adams apple had me thinking that this was a sign. Things were going really well up to that point. My wife came into the bathroom and we started talking. The shavette still needs my undivided attention. I caught my adams apple with the heal of the blade. Finished off with two easy passes from the Vector for a BBS finish.

Monday again, have a great day!

Moving a little slow this morning. I hit the snooze button way too many times. The "Weapon Jr' whipped up the AOS Sandalwood cream into a rich slick lather. Three passes and touch ups ended just short of a perfect shave. My lower right neck was my nemesis as usual. A splash of Fine Santal and I am off to fight Atlanta traffic. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

 

You're welcome. No one wants to see that, Randy.

Great shave and picture, Jim!

Thank you, Jim!

Great photo, Jim! Love the red tones.

Thank you, Clint!

 

Terrific photo, Clint! Love the blue bowl.

 

Thank you, Perry!
