September 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Let me just say that while I didn't exactly stretch them out to measure, or root around in them to find a size, I can promise you that they were way bigger than I would wear. And I am 6-4 and run between 250 and 260, if that lends some perspective.

Calling them panties was probably a very poor choice of words.

 

The soap that will not die.

 

Well that certainly does put things in perspective.

 

Is that an original handle?

 

On the Ever-Ready? I believe it is.

 

I would sure think that if you got 14 shaves out of a Personna Injector blade, you got your money's worth.

 

I love the butterscotch on those E's. Great shave.

 

The next step is synthesizing penicillin from that third bag.

 

SEptember Focus; Mmm Yup!

Klar Seifen Mandel (Almond)
B-400 w/ Omega Pro 98 knot
Osaka Ceramic Suribachi bowl
Stick Schick J-2, Personna Twin
Alum, Avon Bravo Aftershave


For those that like an almond/marzipan scented soap this 5X milled product has it going on. Good lather that whips up easy and scent galore. The only down side is the somewhat small diameter screw top aluminum container. It didn't stop me from loading using a 27mm brush, but it's European metric style VS. U.S. ginormous wide style. Standard WTG, ATG, XTG & clean up jazz left me quite smooth. Is using a Personna Twin injector blade in a Schick still SE? Meh, I like it. Alum swiped cool, and the Avon went on smexy and sweet.
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

This is the soap that never ends
It just goes on and on my friends...

Blade - (6)
Pre - Stirling Mentholated Pre-shave soap
Soap - Stirling Electric Sheep
Brush - WCS Synthetic
ASOD - Clubman

I decided to stick with the pre-shave soap routine tonight and just rotate into a new shaving soap for the evening. The zapped mutton seemed a good idea so out it came. I did the wash with the pre-shave soap again, left it on my face and lathered the sheep on top of it. Just like last night, extremely slick and rich lather. Adding the light menthol to the Voltaged Varmit didn't take anything away at all. In fact, it definitely added its own unique scent to the mix and provided a bit of extra cooling beyond the eucalyptus. (Factoid that may only interest me - Eucalyptus oil has been used for a long time by musicians, especially trumpet players, to extend the time they are able to play at high and difficult ranges. I used it when I was playing lead trumpet in high school and college. I learned it from Maynard Ferguson - one of the greats in Jazz trumpet. Satchmo also was a fan of its use. Factoid over.)

Two passes and touch up and it's a very near-BBS. Either the blade at 6 days is giving up a little bit or I just didn't take the time to grab the baby. Probably more my fault. Either way, a great shave for a Friday night and I'm surprised at how much I've enjoyed adding the pre-shave to the routine. Definitely not something you have to do, but it's a nice touch as an add-on or change up to the routine.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and all the ships at sea - the great Maynard Ferguson.

I ain't even gonna write it...let's just listen to some tunes instead.

Other than that... all is quiet in Colorado.

Have a marvelous weekend!

 

Random:

You gentlemen have certainly covered some topic ground today.

I'll be honest. Let's not ever put the words "Jared" and "panties" in the same sentence going forward. Just sayin....as a friend. I don't care whose panties they were either.

Sheesh, we start out as a technique dojo cover for a blade Cartel, and end up as a glitter soaked shell covered in rainbow sprinkles.

I need some time in a safe space.

Pass the Osage

Samurai out...



(Wink, wink, nod, nod, chuckle)

 

Awesome. Have a great time, and ride safe.

 

Awesome, Andrew.

 

Like those, only black.

 

Maynard Ferguson was so freaking awesome.
