April 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

April 7

This is a new razor and and the factory edge was insufficient so I reset the bevel and finished with my Shapton glass 16k. To give this Revisor it's best chance I used a top brush, Thäter and a top soap R66. Wet lather was flying everywhere and the edge was very smooth but just OK sharp, not as sharp as I usually get from the Shapton. Finished with zero blood and zero irritation but just short of dolphin smooth.

Irritation A+ Closeness B+ Smoothness A+ Sharpness A-

 

Yes, that is the one I was referring to. It is a red gold and white tube that says 100% silicone on it. I used the clear silicone II. Sets in 30 min, low odor, flexible and 7 year mold free.



This was the one posted by someone else who used it to set a knot. It says it set by release of methanol and something else so it is setting chemically

 

The one in your photo is what I used.
Disclamer; I set two knots in screw threaded ferrules that were removed from the handle. Air could reach the bottom of the knot plug.

 

that audience needs to crank up its clapping.

 

I like the way you think

 

Thanks.

I left it square, but it was almost impossible to not feel it if you used the blade flat. If you tipped it up even the littlest bit, the front spike grabbed. It felt like it was going to scratch me on every stroke. The couple times it did nip me were my fault from not paying attention, but it just didn't feel comfortable. I gave it a few little rubs on the side of a stone to round off the very corner. It is still square enough to edge my goat with a downward stroke. I am REALLY, really happy with this razor.

 

That is sweet looking. 6/8?

 

Thanks Charlie!

 

I have used this in 3 brushes. I guess I have been lucky as I haven't had a problem yet.

 

If I had to guess a thin film might work while anything more could fault to cure. I bet it needs air exposure still. Obviously, it doesn't set up in the tube. I wonder if leaving exposed for a couple minutes before pressing in the knot might help. Not sure.

 

Awesome April

Day Seven - The Arko Challenge


​

Check it out! Scrubbing bubbles put the shine back in to the Parker. The day was long, the sun was warm, and the prairie is greening up a bit. Two passes with the steel to bliss, changed up with another Pinaud favorite. Also, to Brian ( @mrchick ) , the pink Japanese razor is in the building, thanks for the chance to hurt myself in a new and unique way, 30DC style! 6 edges gone, 24 great shaves remain this month. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.​

Have a fantasy Friday morning!

The storm passed but made for a nice evening. Good night

 

Happy to be of service to my brave brothers Still waiting on the second shipment.

 

I had a wife like that once. Now I just have the aqua velva. Woo on the Williams.
!!!

I do a 3 pass routine. No need to linger. Lol. Thanks for watching the video too!!!

 

excellent! Just let me know when we're supposed to do this.

 

We can set the date as soon as they are distributed to the ten participants. This should be fun.

 

I have 5 on the way as well, so if there are 4 more willing participants they can PM me and I'll send one out. The more the merrier, or at least a better chance for blood and scars.
