March 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

There are only 90 possible points. Do you want to adjust the scoring?

 

I may just do that. Jury's still out.

 

When I came up with this scoring system I wasn't planning a pool. This became cumbersome.

What I will do is figure it as a percentage for people who guess 100, points for people who guess 90. It is the same either way.

Travel Shaves
Postwar Tech w Polsilver
Omega Travel Brush
TOBS Mr Taylors Cream
Thayers Unscented


Have been hotel shaving the last two days. This is my usual travel set up, with some stuff I keep for travel. 2 fine shaves the last two days. I put a little Thayers in that little clear bottle in the picture, but was glad I didn't have a bad weeper as I didn't bring the Styptic. Brought one Polsilver, so that I can throw it away in the tuck for safety and be able to carry on my bag on the way home.
Looking forward to getting home tonight and starting the Focus tomorrow morning.
Have a great day all!

 

Meant 84/90. I would think that the 'winner' will have a great score...

 

JUST COPY THE POST AND ADD YOUR PICK
1.) mrchick - #8, 91/100
2.) keithmax - #16 Kent BK12 93/100
3.) hodge - #5, 88/100 (#5 was an obvious pick for me.....see avatar)
4.) jtspartan - #4, 93/100
5.) clint64 - #5, 88/100

 

I will just adjust all x/90 picks to a percentage to keep it simple. Gotcha covered.

 

22.) 999 Shave Hand Tied Flattop Boar for my bias to fans over bulbs, plus that black fishnet over racy fire engine red. Hand tied boar is so artisanal.

1.) mrchick - #8, 91/100
2.) keithmax - #16 Kent BK12 93/100
3.) hodge - #5, 88/100 (#5 was an obvious pick for me.....see avatar)
4.) jtspartan - #4, 93/100
5.) clint64 - #5, 88/100
6.) ryx - #22, 90/100

 

It was fun. Definitely enjoyable this morning.

 

I think Price is Right rules should apply! I'll bid $1, Bob!

 

I am going with the Stirling Kong for the win!

I am. And it really hasn't been a trouble spot until the last couple shaved. That's where a lot of my nicks are, but the kind you only notice afterwards.

We will see how tonight's shave goes.

The scores all seem to be coming in pretty high for the way I set this up, so I am going to do away with the "without going over" clause.

 

probably that or a straight...

 

I always wanted to bid $1, so I finally got that off my bucket list.

I did revise my score a bit, though after I reviewed your score card.

Rudy Vey is my pick!!!

 

March Soap of the Day Focus

Mitchell's Wool Fat, Omega #10098
'46-'47 Aristocrat, Fresh Personna FHU
Alum block, M&L Florida Water AS/cologne


Starting my Focus with the first sample from The Pass Around with MWF. I took 2 samples from the baggie because this soap is well spoken of. First one reinforced my preconception of "difficult to lather". Much better this time. Although the boar brush held quite a bit, I achieved acceptable results. Lacking much of any detectable scent, it's balanced by decent performance. Three passes with the Aristo and a new Personna For Hospital Use blade afforded great reduction on a 2 day growth. Plenty of slickness & decent residual film for touch up buffing. Alum no more noisy than a Fat Boy shave. No burn from the high alcohol aftershave. I'm hoping for lanolin moisturizing to follow through. Otherwise MWF is OK, but not a soap I'd rave about.
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

Very nice!!
