September 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

This Ivan
Rumor is that he is singing like a canary.

 

Hopefully he's drunk as usual so most of what he says is really just gibberish. Russian gibberish. Takes the highest level former KGB operative to even begin to decipher that. And most of those guys are old and drunk now too.

 

The interrogation team is taking a break, but have been making progress.

 

Apparently Ivan breathed on them. Or....whoever it is they picked up.....since I don't know an Ivan.

 

Catchy like "It's a Small World". I mostly got cringey.

Where did you find a shiny OC with no stress crack? That's quite the rare and striking combo.

Hilarious. Where do you guys find these pics???

Great shot, and beautiful brush, Clint!

 

Thank you, Jason!

 

Thank you, Andrew!

 

I might know where one could be found

The Internet

 

I have a ball-end OT with a crack-free handle as well. Ironically, it does have a chipped tooth, however. Doesn't affect performance, just doesn't look perfect.

 

Thank you Randy.

 

Is that what the kids are calling the interwebs nowdays?

 

Gem 1912
30DC brush
Sudsy Soapery Lavender and Peppermint
AllMan Refined Aftershave Balm

The 1912 is the smoothest of my GEMs. Sudsy Soapery is a top shelf soap for me. It's so easy to dial in a rich, decadent lather. The peppermint gives it a nice, light cooling sensation. The AllMan balm has a light, fresh scent that does not linger long, so it doesn't interfere with whatever scent I choose for the day.

Sudsy Soapery is my Number One soap manufacturer at this time. I am also loving L&L, Barrister & Mann, Wholly Kaw, Tallow & Steel and a few others, but Sudsy Soapery stands above all for me at the moment.

 

It's really, really good soap. I wish the lavender came through more, but as for performance I really could not ask for more.

I have two other soaps with Lavender and Peppermint. On both soaps the lavender takes the back seat. Maybe it is something to do with the Lavender oils.

 

I think they pair well in theory, but lavender is just too fragile a scent to stand up to peppermint.

That very well could be it. I have had straight lavender soaps that were as strong as any I have tried but maybe peppermint just takes over. Either way I think lavender in the background adds depth to the peppermint preventing it from becoming just a one note wonder.

 

It's not a deal breaker. It's a great soap.
