June 2021 30-Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Thank you Joe!

 

I know you're saying this in jest. I just want to assure you and everyone else that I don't have an agenda. I've never pushed my preferences on anyone. I buy and use what I enjoy and I hope everyone else feels they have the same freedom. Manipulating isn't my style.

​

Happy Sunday everyone. I felt like a change this morning so, I pulled out the Wolfman WR2. Sticking with the bowl lathering, I scooped out a bit of the Santa Maria Novella Cream and pressed it into the bottom of my Aesop shave bowl. The little Galahad C3 did a wonderful job whipping up the lather. I did add a couple of drops of lanolin to the mix while lathering. Three passes and touch ups caught the baby with ease. The SMN Tabacco Toscano aftershave was the star of the show. The scent of tobacco leaves and vanilla over a base of spices is simply divine. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

 

Exactly how it should be

Question about setting 11 which looks insane. If you ride the cap the opening could be almost infinite and it wouldn't matter as the bottom plate is out of play, correct? or am I misunderstanding it (wouldn't be my 1st time) GLAD you're clearly enjoying this investment Jim

 

Correct. That's the way I look at it anyway. A shallow angle would take the baseplate out of play with most razors. I attribute the extra blade feel to chatter on the Sailor. Backed off this far the springs aren't putting much tension on the intermediate plate that locks the blade to the topcap. That's my theory anyway.

Thanks Myles!

 

Wonderful shave Clint. I think that I may do a rare bowl lather this week.

Late shower and shave today.

I needed a little Soap Commander love today. Awesome lather and a bunch of it. It is just good stuff!

I decided to bring out the lightest razor combo in my arsenal....the PAA aluminum DOC on a unknown aluminum handle. This combo weighs in at .77 ounces.

I just went for two passes....no drama and an almost BBS. The alum was barely noticeable.

A little witch hazel and juice..........this one was in the bag.

I hope every has had a wonderful day.

 

Beautiful shave, Barry. Take care.

 

That's the cool thing about the 30DC. Nobody has an agenda. It's a brotherhood. The give and take is what makes it special here.

I had a good fella tell me once that life will be better if I had thick skin and a tender heart. I fall short more than I'd like to admit, but this is how I aim to live. Seems like most here do likewise.

Note: some have better haircuts, cookware, tractors, operatic knowledge, or better luck at Piggly Wiggly, but it's never openly flaunted.

 

Thanks Dave. Hopefully we can get it figured out but stress doesn't help and I seem to have plenty of that at times. TSD is my stress free zone.

 

Awesome shave with the Floater, Dave. Take care.

 

Thanks Charlie.

 

Danny, how is Mrs. Hembree? Praying she continues to do better each day. Take care of yourself, my friend!

 

Jim,

I for one appreciate you, your gear, your photos, your good nature your input here, etc, etc, etc…

My kidding is always just that.

I consider folks here at 30DC my friends. We do this as a hobby and should have fun and enjoyment here.

Thanks,
Bill

 

Gorgeous picture and shave, Jim. In case I haven't told you......I really like the Sailer.

I'm still waiting on the pass around.
