June 2022 30 Day Rule/Focus and Discussion. All Are Welcome!

cool new lc.mine is the last version of the new deluxe series,which ran from 1930 ish to 35.they were expensive,and due to the depression of 1929 they didn't sell well,and were discontinued.the tto also came out in 1934,replacing them .

 

Terrific setup and shave Gary! The soap label is just awesome! Noble Otter usually has rather plain labels so that one is very unusual for this company. I know the soap is a winner. Enjoy your day off!

 

Too bad about that shave Terry. I am sure smoking and eating those chicken thighs and pork shoulder made you feel alright. Take care.

 

You would make Matt Pisarcik of The Razor Emporium jealous. Beautiful pickup Gary.

 

thank you Joe.i thought the labels would make for some cool pics.the scent and performance is excellent, like their other products.i have the flying hide soap,but was never able to get the splash up here when it was released,so i gave up trying their stuff.otter products now have distributors on this side of the border that carry soap and splashes.

 

the razors pictured are from Mr.Razor's site.i passed along my criterion and belmont sets long ago.excellent shavers but too nice to shave with.my red and black set is the only one i have left.it was the budget version of the series originally selling for 59 cents.the others were $5-10 sets back when they were new.my british belmont was a 1935 only set ,in silver.also a 2 piece ,not 3.to valuable to use imo.museum piece.

here is mine.

 

my gold 1935 brit 2 piece criterion was even rarer.
.note the crease near the knob.brit models only.gold was rare in england as they had an abundance of rhodium.

Very nice shave with a low budget soap. I have both the tub, in the Southern den, and the stick, in the Northern den. No bowl needed today as this is one of the rare times I face lather.

I managed enough lather for a three pass shave. The Arko pairs nicely with the Pinaud CM. The soap is a clean almost Ivory Snow type scent. The resulting shave was smooth and comfortable without any icicle t or delayed post shave weepers.

Beautiful day here on LI. I am in the kitchen prepping for tomorrow’s work BBQ. The missus invites her staff over at the conclusion of the school year. We have not had it since June 2018.

I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

Just beautiful Gary.

 

Very nice.

 

awesome arko shave Joe.up for tomorrow.

 

I knew you eventually come over to the Bowl side. Very nice shave. Honor is some good stuff.

 

thank you Joe.i do miss them..occasionally.

 

Awesome Terry. You are going to have some good eats there.
I will be putting in four racks of ribs in my Masterbuilt smoker tomorrow.

 

Thank Gary. It will be a repeat shave tomorrow as well.

 

Very nice razors Hogie

 

That is one sweet shave Gary. Enjoy your day.

 

Very nice Paul. Unfortunately, Skin Bracer never did ring my chimes. Meh for me.

 

Absolutely phenomenal thick lather that gave you a great shave. Enjoy you day Hogie.

 

Yes!
After my pork roast (pork butt) gets done.
In goes the chicken legs.
But ribs... oh yea.
I got the pork on sale.
It should last a few days.
I have a masterbuilt 30 inch.
It's small but it does the job.
