June 2018 30 Day Rule/focus Pix & Discussion

Gotta love the Ref Tip. Nice setup.

 

Thank you, Brian. It is hard to go wrong with the Red Tip.

 

Quick shave this morning with one of my favorite Lavender pairings. If you haven’t tried Mama Bear soaps, you should. Her pucks are 5oz, and if you ask, she will send a label to put on your own container. Three passes with the toggle, and a DFS plus. Finished off with Fine, and ready to meet my new boss today!

 

Nice shave and photo Adam! Good luck with the new boss.

Excellent photos and shaves, Gents!

 

Thank you, Andrew!

 

I always like seeing a Toggle make an appearance. Hope the meeting with your new boss goes well.

 

Great shave Adam. The Toggle makes for a special shave. Good luck with the meeting.

SOTD June 13th


Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
RazoRock Game Changer
GSB(3)
Yaqi Mysterious Space(24mm Finest Fan, Frigate Class)
Catie's Bubbles '95 Liquid Labels
Homemade Lime AS & Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB (lemon lime finish!)

Another nice close smooth shave from the Game Changer. After using this razor for a solid two weeks now I can tell you that to me it is definitely on the mild side and skin stretching is a must to get the close finish that I'm looking for. Some may find this statement to be heretical but I think I might actually prefer the Mamba to the Game Changer, and I definitely prefer the Baby Smooth to both of them. If I'm looking for a more aggressive razor in the RazoRock camp with more blade feel the MJ-90A has me covered. I don't find the Game Changer to be any more efficient or aggressive feeling then my Merkur 34c and honestly if you aren't paying attention to technique and skin stretching you probably wont be ending up with a shave that has the closeness that your looking for. I can tell you that several times these past two weeks I had areas that weren't as closely shaven as the rest of my face due to what I can only assume was caused by a lapse in angle control. Hopefully when Joe releases some more aggressive base plates this razor will really shine.

 

Great picture and report Andrew!

Nice picture and write up, Andrew! Thanks for the details on the Game Changer.

 

June - Phoning it in

KMF Peaceful Patchouli
Vulfix badger brush
Suribachi, cool water
Schick (?-?), Chick blade
Home made lime patchouli AS

Between clients, middle of the day shave. Beating the heat by working morning and evening, staying out of the sun afternoon. Easy lather, though I added too much cream (4 squirts) followed by too much water. Dribbly but functional as it ran down my neck a bit. Easy shave with whatever injector this is. Someone told me earlier either E or G, but I forget. Doesn't matter because it gives good reduction. Almost as clean as a Bunny shave. The homemade AS needs a couple drops of glycerin to give it that store bought feeling. The two EO's and everclear alcohol are working otherwise.
Good Shaves Y'all!

I'm sure you'll be welcomed. As they say, Missouri loves company.

 

Thank you, Jim!

 

That's a G8. You can tell by the handle.

 

I just might get my pocket knife and the plastic handle together...
Thank you John!

I was going to add that the G8 is one of my favorites. It reminds me a lot of the E2.

 

Never tried the old formula, so ignorance is bliss. I picked this up for $5 at Burlington. Quite a deal.
