July 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Well done! Thanks

 

July Focus

As Charlie (@wristwatchb) so clearly elucidated, I am still riding that horse, or whatever it was in the picture.
The Omega Boar thread prompted me to grab my Rubberset with an Omega Pro knot.
Hint: If you want to make it through a tub of soap more quickly (yes, I know some of you call this wasteful),
get yourself an Omega Pro. 63mm loft. 63mm!!!!
Nothing, but nothing tears through soap like this brush.
And because I am a confirmed "load it like you hate it" type of shaver, this brush fits the bill to a tee.
(Have I used enough idioms yet?)
Taking the bloom water and massaging it into my beard, I could "almost" make a pass at that point.
But I didn't, and proceeded to take the laden Rubberset to the face.
I could suffocate with all of this "buttercream"-ish lather, especially after adding some MORE water.
Three passes with the docile R41.
No nicks, cuts nor irritation. I did not pass go and, unfortunately, did not collect $200.
Eschewed my usual post-shave Thayer's Medicated Witch Hazel.
Again, my wife standing faithfully (sarcasm) at my side, I poured an ultra-generous load of
Floïd Mentolado Vigoroso into my palms and applied "vigorously"
No comment from the Frau, snarky or otherwise.​

 

Wonderful photo and lineup Perry. Good luck in the heat next week. Be sure to use sunscreen

A repeat of yesterday's shave again. It really is a nice set up to start a day. I probably have one or two more shaves out of this cream, then it will be done. My wife gets back late this evening, so everyone will be much happier around the house.

 

For the record, I sent Igor to the jail to check if we still have anyone there. If he's ever released I'll let you know what he found out. Guess it's a bad idea to send a minion to a jail. Probably didn't think that one through.

 

Nice, Jim!
You made it through the week! I'm sure there will be a lot of smiles and hugs this evening!

I'd try to get in on this but you said senior shopping day. I'm not nearly old enough. Besides, Paul already has all the ladies.

 

Thank you, Clint! Sunscreen is an absolute must. I might be a little neurotic about it. I had a basal skin cell spot removed from my ear last year. Horrible experience that I don't want to repeat. I use tons of sunscreen and reapply often.

Thank you, Jim!

 

Many thanks Jim.

 

Parfum is parfum. Clubman is......well..Clubman.

 

He just made bail

 

Well done, sir...as usual!

 

Great photo, Jim!! Guess you best hop to straightening up around the house!

 

Reminds me of the lyrix of "The Good Guys And The Bad Guys"(from Any Which Way You Can):

Now I'm in jail with no man
That ol boy's gone free
That is how my sad story ends

We both broke the law
But it's me who took the fall
Seems the Judge and him were fishin' friends

 

A big boar brush does eat through the soap. Great looking brush and photo.

Great shave and photo Jim. Not sure if you or the kids will be happier when your wife get home.
