MAYhem 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Thanks . Thats what lack of sleep does to me .

 

I see our resident shenanigan protagonists have some competition! Nice design, Patrick!

 

Thanks Andrew. Was a fun morning project . I built another one for tomorrow too.

 

Added this pic to give a better overall view . It didnt load in my first post.

 

Wow. That’s the way to think outside of the box.

Thank you Perry. I'm proud of it .

 

Thanks Clint!

 

I do want to give a long overdue update of my Shavette use from a PIF @Bama Samurai did in February. He sent me a Leopard shavette that uses half DE blades, along with 34 blades. I have a lot of experience with a straight, so this should have been a breeze, right? I got about 22 shaves from it, and I am throwing in the towel. While I got socially acceptable shaves from it, I also got a lot of razor burn and weepers. I never got to the point where I started to feel the way the blade was reacting to my face and react. Bottom line, yes I can use a shavette, but I don't really like it. So this bad boy is getting cleaned and disinfected, and becoming a Shavey award for this year. The "Need to Step Up My Game" award. This is a self-nominated award, meaning no one is going to get stuck with a razor they won't use. If you don't have a shavette and want to try one out, this may be for you. I'll put some pictures up in the Shavey thread.

 

May 1018
Palmolive Challenge Edition

Wow!

This month is jumping! So nice to see all the familiar faces, as well as those who have recently joined in the fun.

If you're new to traditional shaving, don't feel like you need to keep up with the shenanigans. I, for one, am planning on doing a random blade Focus, and will be available to talk all things technique. You may find that doing a strict 30 Day rule is the fastest route to shaving nirvana. Those who master the tools truly appreciate this for what it is. Results are not the result of expensive gear. We are about to prove that to you for the next month.

To the vets, pass the guacamole and have a good time.

My plan:

Shavettes
Low end blades
Palmolive Stick
@jtspartan Tuxedo
Lots of Peaches
A report or check-in daily

Back to the roots...


@NCoxSTL -since its May Day, we must play the fight song.....

Have an excellent May!

 

Kudos Sir! We try to spread the experiences far and wide. Besides....chicks dig scars, and surely a fresh faced newbie will step up to the challenge.

 

That's approaching Dark Side...

Here's something to ponder as you enjoy your Thursday:

 

Thanks Chris . I love the dark side. They have cookies im told.

 

Matte Finish Armor All too!

 

I thought that was only a myth. Now i know the truth.

 

You are correct sir! It's a holiday in the Motherland. Let the party begin!

​

 

Nice picture, John. I am looking forward to seeing how the blade endurance comes along.

 

Thank you, Clint!

Beautiful picture!

 

Terrific picture, Perry!

 

Happy birthday, Paul!
