May 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

..

 

That is the best shave I have seen in a long time

 

May 1st shave: This is the last of my small brush focus, Semogue boar that despite it's size delivered enough lather for 4 passes. It is getting close to broken so I think I should use more and finish the process. It worked great with the hard SMN soap, I added a little bit of liquid lanolin for the post shave feel. The Koraat was just a little sub par last time so I took it to my Dovo pasted strops and once again just8/ short of where I want it to be, so, back to the stones. It was sharp enough to shave with but I could not get aggressive with the angle. In the end the results were acceptable with no irritation.



May 2 shave. This huge grinning Mike Martinez is handful at 9/8 and half hollow. She usually has a wicked sharp edge but today she just very sharp, I think I will take her back to the stones and restore the scary sharp edge. A nice shave and I am off to the gym.

Great report, Tim. As for the shave...it could've been worse!

 

The BIGGEST "Bait 'n Switch" in all of Christendom.

 

Glad you are all well, Perry. Stay in touch.

 

Keith, you have an amazing shave den.

 

Good shave this morning. I might have dipped the brush into the soap(Razorock Lime Burst)while it was still "recovering" from being doused with hot water from the tap. It is mainly for that reason that I always say my second pass feels better than the first. Well,ALMOST always, that is. 3 "mild" weepers around the mouth again, one closer to the jawline than the other two. I also missed that area on my neck that I missed a few days ago. It seems I focus too much on the "Y Formation" persuasion of the neck shave that I sometimes miss areas that shouldn't be missed-Y or no Y. But overall a nice shave. Clubman Reserve Gentle Gin for the finish. Pretty Excellent.

 

No Rockford Files? Aahh, ya can't do 'em ALL, I suppose.

 

I think it should be pronounced "Sosal Distancing", like we seem to pronounce Social Security "Sosel Security". (Not all of us).

 

I just did a PIF on a Facebook group so that’s covered. I’ll be trying various items I scarcely use for the month of May.

 

Whadja send out,...an Avon?
