Thank you.

We who are of the brotherhood of shaving soap wetness (that'd be BOSS Wet for the acronym crowd), are obligated to protect the reputation of Doctor Blue Ming from those dry soap marauders who would have it sullied by their dust.

 

lord of the mings..

 

You aren't the only bachelor on The Crew Paul. One day I might share the story about the WalMart check out Lady who was wearing patchouli...

Yeah, like that, but I caught a bit of her scent as she was doing the buttons and money thing. I mentioned I liked her perfume, thought I recognized it, and asked if I could stand closer for a better sniff. Permission granted since I didn't want to get arrested for crowding her personal space, I got a nice sniff of her (about my age) neck. When shopping there I'd always look to see if she was working. Been a couple years ago, she's not there now. Guess she retired or is working elsewhere.

Can't put the earworm in and not listen to the rest of the song...

The charts? That's part of my home school teaching aids for the grand daughters and their discovery of scents. They are learning to appreciate old things that used to be famous.

 

I am (and will be) continuing a single razor "edge" evaluation on the Wacker Barbers Bride.

I sent it for honing to a gentleman who prefers Shapton edges and goes to 30K. He finishes with a technique I've learned to be called 'jointing'. There is no disrespect intended here for others, just info. I have read opinions about his edges that border on the absolutes. I do not think it beats a shavette edge, but it is pretty good. I've finally learned how to do a successful hanging hair test, get a donation from the brush of The Lovely Mrs Headroom.

It has been a couple weeks and I'm trying to shave with it daily. It was the opinion of the Honer that 'over stropping' degrades the edge, so I am limiting to 10 cycles on a hanging leather piece at shave time.

In two weeks, it seems the edge has moved from a cautious sharp to a more comfortable sharp for my style.

Besides the pre-shave hanging strop routine, I elected to go with 1/10 micron cBN emulsion on glass mounted nanocloth. This substrate is supposed to have zero effect on the edge, isolating the action to the media used. So far 5-7 shaves between treatments, and a finish with a few light passes on roo.



Most of my other abrasive strop compounds are on balsa for this magnet mount 3x11 setup. I'm just going to stick with minimums and add as I feel needed.

This could wind up being a long test. If I recall, I went something like 60 shaves on my training razor. I am supposing that to be a good thing.

Here, so far, so good.

 

Reminds me of "the Scent of a Woman" starring Al Pacino and a young Chris O'Donnell. Worth seeing.

 

I think July was even busier then Feburary when we had the turn around. Sheesh I got behind..... hope all you are ok.

I was at the plant for that baby rain storm Barry. Stole a bunch of overtime money from the company.

Adjustables and Arko eh. I will catch up.

And for all the comments made last month that I not reply to....

 

When I die I want you to say a few words. Awesomelicious post!

 

good to hear from you sir..

 

Good to be back around.

 

Learn something new every day! I'm slowly gathering honing information at about the same rate I forget it. The spritz bottle is ready to use slurry? Shake it up and spray? What is the carrier, oil or water? My previous sighting of this has been as a small sacrificial stone that gets rubbed on the main hone.

Good for you. Glad the property damage was minimal & the paychecks were fat!

 

The Avon I won in a raffle was presumably an original(the '23 Tribute).

 

It's a good way to bond with them. It's a fact that women have a more acute sense of smell than men, so you are going with the natural flow.

 

If I "swan-dived" a woman because of her scent the day I was "swan-dived". I'd probably be typing this from jail today.

 

Been wondering about that Bergamot Lavender. Does Ms. Headroom like it?
