NOV 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic&Discussion Thread

I have shaved with one of the tigers. I would prefer the rusty can lid. It would cut better leaving me with a more comfortable shave.

 

I'm Thinking about using a Gem featherlight with a SS PTFE coated blade tonight with Chisled Face Tradewinds. I'll decide on aftershave before I get there.

 

Yeah the 30-day mantra - "technique, technique, technique" blah, blah blah.

I'm here cause I just can't get enough of that photo above with MrC and the 30Day Crew! I've long wondered how @NCoxSTL , center at top, shaves that huge crevasse between his cheekbone and jaw? I mean, how do you flatten that out?!!

Congrats on all the posts Brian! Great to read all your posts here, and happy that you're hanging in there with this gang.
:hooray:

 

Day 28 - 29 November 2015

No Variation November!



Automatic! 18F and a super slow day on the prairie. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

Have a sterling Monday!

Congrats on your first shave with the CJB! You're off to a great start!

 

I thought it was about time!

 

Congrats on a great November focus and on 2000 posts! You made great progress with the Pain Stick this month, and I enjoyed learning right alongside you.

 

Agreed. No cuts. Mostly gashes and open flesh wounds. I don't believe any arteries or connective tissue were severed. That's always a plus. Of course, there was that other incident...

 

I like you all enough to support the use of questionable items to shave with, and the sharing of the fun. I will encourage fun things like straights for everyone. (And the ones I am willing to loan this group are sharpened and disinfected, so I must like you guys a little bit.

 

Cuts aren't as bad as in appropriately applied menthol. I'll call that one a fail.

 

Ok. I'll give you that one. You earned it!

 

It takes skill, patience and a little twist of the wrist. Easy as that.

 

Congratulations on your 2,000 posts! You add a lot to the group and we're all glad you're here. ... another group hug?
You are right about the 30 day focus threads, they help keep me on track. I think a shave journal really helps, but having folks give you pointers to help you improve makes all the difference in the world.

 

Tackling 3 day growth with a Str8!! Will let y'all know how it goes!

 

No blood! At all! This blade definitely needs a honing though.

 

Congrats Seth!

 

It could just been the fact the blade is rather dull. I imagine I didn't strop correctly when I first got it. It felt like I was cutting a sirloin with a butter knife.

 

Yeah, its not supposed to feel like that. If it doesn't slice you before you even realize it, it isn't sharp enough. Getting a shave ready razor is a key to getting a good Straight razor shave.

 

Boris huh. I think I will be changing addresses soon.

 

Sounds like it's time to go to a honer.
