    It blows my mind how some of these contractors operate. Take care of that cold and I pray it all works out for you Adam.

    Yeah, this one came out of the blue. I will say I love living in a small town. I was at the city public works office this morning at 9, had an inspection done by 10, and had a certificate of occupancy from the city by 5. My neighbors are coming over tomorrow to help me get a bunch of little stuff done to be ready for an appraisal, and I’m meeting the bank tomorrow to work on that side.

    I haven’t gotten to your comment yet, so you still have time to change it. :) No worries at all, Jason. We are actually pretty close to done. I need to grout a shower, and fix some paint and flooring. The only system that isn’t working is the AC, so we have a couple of months to deal with that.

    It was a positive comment, just bad timing- was complimenting your Leatherworking and said you needed to finish your renos so you can get back to making your Leather products...

    Is there a similar reason for so many guys who like to sharpen things? Asking for a friend named Yuri.

    You're most welcome. Glad I could be a part of it!

    You now know....

    All razors are the same. Once one knows what a sharp blade is "supposed" to feel like against the skin, sharp rigid blade is all one needs. Handle style and level of risk is entirely a personal choice. BBS is BBS is BBS.

    Yes I do Gary. It's similar to English Leather. Side by side, the E L smells a little more orange juicy. Found the vintage O S at an estate sale where someone beat me to the razors and brushes.

    The APS brush that I have with the SynBad knot is wonderful. I would like to get another one or two of their brushes sometime - more specifically, brushes with the SynBad knots. The only drawback is the $8 shipping cost from Canada. Not a dealbreaker, but if they can be had through Yaqi a little cheaper, and with different handles, all the better.
