OCT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

Congratulations @Drygulch I look forward to reading many more. The Focus thread is a main stay in my books.

 

How is that.

 

Another outstanding photo of great gear.

 

The colors all seem to match in a great photo. Could be an advertisement in a magazine.

 

Have a great time, and who has the cookies?

 

Day number two with my Single Ring. Another easy close shave, a little less close than yesterday I think because of a slightly dry lather (I was in a hurry). I also think the Gillette Blue 7 O'clock blade has alot to do with it; amazingly smooth and sharp. But the razor is my focus here. The Single Ring is very light and maneuverable and not aggressive at all. The angle is very easy to find and maintain. I'm enjoying the learning process. I'm going to keep up with this razor and switch to my late 20's Old Type after 2 weeks.

 

Another advertisement photo. Could be in Golf Digest.

 

We should put together a DE shaving calendar with all these great shave photographs. Who's agrees?

 

Cool Old Spice Decanter.

 

Thank you.

 

Oh Doug. That was all by accident.

 

Don't forget @celestino!

 

Great Idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

@Bama Samurai have a relaxing time with the wife.

 

Perhaps it was seen in your subconscious.

 

OCtober - Trick or TREET
October 2

Razor - Gillette 1918 Old Style
Blade - (2)
Brush - Vie Long 12601 (The Pony)
Soap - Tabac
Post - Cold Water, Alum, Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Reporting live from Pakistan (well ok so not so much) on day two of the Treet focus. Same setup as yesterday except for the brush and soap. Used the Pony today along with Tabac. SWMBO loves Tabac and I had no idea how much until last night when I was setting things up and had it open on my desk across from hers. She instantly named it and came over to my side and sniffed it. I have warmed her up to the idea that there are other Tabac products too so when I order those she won't have any argument about that purchase.

The Vie-Long is such a great brush to use. Different from the boars in its feel and how I use it. I paint more with it than swirl on my face once it's loaded and love the scritch and scrub. Really gets the lather up good and leaves me feeling great. Day two on the King was as smooth and awesome as day one and I'm happy the shaving gods decreed this setup to start the month. Seems to be perfectly matched with the 1918 and I didn't even mess up on my chin this morning. Finished near BBS and feeling good. Irritation was a bit high on the neck from the G-slides but other than that no problem. Hit the Ice Blue for the retro finish and off to my next to last day of training. Sick of staring at a webinar. I know the real world is out there somewhere!

Congrats on your 1000! I aways enjoy your posts and have learned a ton about SR from reading them.

 

Congratulations

 

I really found the FB to come into its own between 6 and 7. I'll be watching to see how you like it.

 

You results seem to mirror mine. I feel like my struggles early last month with angles really made me focus on them now. I think last month really improved my over all shaving ability, probably the most since my first month or two of traditional wet shaving. All the more reason why I like these threads so much.
