SEPT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

I think I just choked back a tear.... Very touching.

 

Tomorrow is day 366 on TSD. I never knew that shaving had a subculture, and have had a blast being a part of it.

Big Thanks to all of you guys for being an integral part of the fun!

 

Congrats on a year on TSD! This place is definitely better because you landed here! Really is a great place and definitely makes the whole experience better!

 

Thank you! TSD and you guys are very special to me. I feel like I am the lucky one.

 

You sure he missed it. Salesman by day. Blade cartel by evening. Country songwriter by night. @NCoxSTL can do anything (or at least he thinks he can). Just ask Crazy Ivan.

 

He sings Hank Williams songs as he wields the BoSFat...

 

I just choked back something.

 

I'll never underestimate the power of AAACK!

 

...and you are a a BIG part of it!

 

September 14 Focus Shave 11

I did 3 passes but the lather never felt quite right, if I was shaving with a DE it would have been OK but I ended up with more irritation than I have been getting lately. I also had a weeper but on the positive side I did have DFS+ shave.

I really like the clean look of the scales against the gray steel. Very nice looking razor!

 

Congrats! You were the first one to jump in and get me started here and I'm definitely happy you did. Here's to another year as it only gets bigger and better. And what is this subculture talk? We're big enough to have our own culture!

 

Since we have a cartel, we should have our own culture. You're so right!

 

You can ask Crazy Ivan but beware.....that sucker is crazy! For real!

 

Well, maybe Hank Jr, and then not too many. Truth be told I'm a Classic Rock kind of guy. BoSFat works well with the Eagles. Well, Pink Floyd doesn't hurt the quality of the shave either. After all........we don't need no irritation...........we don't need no carts at all...........

 

And I think the cartel's first order of business should be to find all of the Chinese blade manufacturers and shut them down. They're wasting perfectly good steel by not sharpening it.

 

Welcome to the machine...

 

You ever try to get a hairball up? Yeah, that's power!

 

Off of one of their best albums. Although Dark Side of the Moon will always be their best. I wore out about a dozen 8 tracks of that one when I was in college the first time. Drove across Kansas from home to school quite a bit and that was always pounding away as I made those overnight runs.

 

...no 'lectric razors in the bathroom....hey, Disposables, leave those shavers alone!
All in all, its just a, nother cart in the trash!
