  13. Danny is fixing to have a come apart. :angry021:We were up on the farm and noticed that some work was done on an access road to a gas well south of our property. This road is about a hundred feet south of our property line. The problem was when this road was put in there was two 48 inch culverts for the creek to flow through. Apparently they washed out or had problems and this is their fix, one 24 or 30 inch culvert. Up stream on our property under the county road there are two 36 inch culvert which carry water for this same creek. Needless to say they just put a dam in and we are going to have some issues. We don't have any buildings or anything along the creek but I want woods not a lake. The road bed in the picture is about 12 to 14 feet above the creek bed. We are fixing to have a meeting of the minds the first of next week.:angry019:

  14. June 1

    3rd shave on the ZY 430, different edges each time.
    New - Et Tu, SS & Star Jelly AS
    Simpson Emperor 2
    Convex Arkansas combination hones

    20190601_215403-1.jpeg

    Freshly honed for the best edge yet for this bent sorry excuse of a shaving device. The packing document even called it a 'make up tool'. The first edge courtesy of ZY's very own honemiester. The 2nd was the best I could do on the Naniwas without grinding the bejeebers out of it. Took almost forever, but I got an acceptable edge to shave with. First time this one made it to the end of shave. I'm going to keep working to fur refine this edge.

    I heard so many nice things about the Brut copy 'Et Tu'. Being the Brut fan that I am, I had to order some. Nice stuff, but it'll set you back $$$. Marketed as smelling closer to the original than what is commonly available these days. I can't really remember that far back, but it is good. Anyone looking for a balm type AS that isn't greasy, this is good. Has alcohol too, which I like.

    Happy June gang!

  17. Great shave, Danny! The Adventures of Wet Shaving/ Eric Latta on You Tube shaved with Snake Bite. He says the menthol does not make the eyes tear and that it is refreshing. Do you agree with this guy's assessment of the soap?

  18. Amazing work on the razor. I believe if you can hone that one you can hone anything. Great shave and picture!
