How's Your Day? Archives

Understood. I have been using NDC code all week. However, am I mistaken? I thought the Rolls Razor would be part of my IMOR shaves.

 

Seeing that he never answereed your question. His avatar is a binary translation of "myavatar". Actually, I like it, I just figure the humor is lost on most of the board.

 

Absolutely they can be. Maybe I'll mess with it tomorrow, then... Although I think his use of the RR had stopped years ago, or at least his regular use of it, it was his what he was known for... It does seem fitting that an IMOR week should have at least one shave with a RR...

Thank you. Yeah, way too geeky for me....

 

I did the last three days with a tech. I figured I would try a RR tomorrow and finish up the week with a super adj. Unfortunately, the only soap/cream I have on the Rolls list is AOS cream. I have been using my samples of AOS unscrented cream, but am getting redness all over my face. Daughter and students are noticing so I will probably switch back to a soap that doesn't cause issues for me.

 

I'd say switch....he wouldn't want you getting all messed up....plus, I think it's more what's in the heart than what you're using...

Monday, Tuesday, and today I've used the Noxzema Lather cream....great stuff, for sure, but I think tomorrow I'll use the IM. To me it's still a Rollsism because he was such a moving force in all of us getting some...although I don't think he ever tried any....

haha...I saw a tusk of some sort with scrimshaw carved on it today at the antique store....I immediately thought of a unicorn horn/narwahl tusk! :happy102


No opinions on my Opinions Wanted question yet? C'mon people! As opinionated as this bunch is!!!

 

Hmmm didn't see this.. I will have to look.

I went back through some of Roll's posts and saw him mention liking Tabac as well as "Italian Soaps". So, I might use Tabac & p.160 the remainder of the week.

 

Well, I posted an "Is it OK to ask razor values here" post first....I can't imagine it'd be a problem....

I think I'll put a thread up in the straight razor section here, too....

 

I haven't been on SRP so I don't know the vibe there. I suppose it depends on your purpose. It would probably be bad form to go there to find the worth to turn around and post it here on the classifieds. But to just find out their worth for your own benefit, it wouldn't bother me.

Of course.. now I have Narwahl Narwahl swimming in the ocean stuck in my head..

 

Well, go read This Thread and let me know what you think, if you don't mind. I'd probably just copy and paste it over there pretty much...

The 2 razor set I'd consider for myself, the etched one I'd throw on the b/s/t, either here or there or both. Maybe I should specify that in the post. But I'm not going to get it/them if they're not worth it....also I want to "test" my spotting ability so to speak...

 

Ya'll haven't gotten rid of me yet. :signs136

 

Looks fine to me. I can't help you out though cuz I know nothing about straights. OK... pretty close to nothing.

I didn't know that we were trying. Glad to see you non-lurking again. So the rally has you swamped? Hope to see more of you once that is over.

 

Wow half an hour of silence in primetime? Oh well.. guess I am turning in so that I am well rested and alert for the rolls razor in the AM.

 

I've been venturing out of the HYD thread and reading other posts here....

Did you know there's a whole plethora of information out there? :happy102

EDIT: Oh, and goodnight.... enjoy the RR tomorrow. I'll check mine out tomorrow, maybe shave with it tomorrow or Friday...

 

Been absorbed in watching UFC Fight Night. One decision and it's over.

 

I'm here, I'm here.

Pick me!

I think I finally got rid of the viruses on my friend's computer. I believe this is night three of working on it. There were three different trojans multiplying all over and a couple other smaller problems.

 

There exists something outside of the HYD thread?

Blasphemy.

 

Hi Dom!

Were the viruses part of that whole April Fool's computer virus scare?

Where are we on the PIF? Any more progress on it? I'd like to get something posted soon, personally. Who should judge the essay? Did we finally decide on an essay? Any other requirements? I think I saw Jen post something about post requirements, but can't recall what they were...

 

Hi gang, wassup?

 

Hey Tom!

I thought of you, Bong, and Brian today....I came across a fountain pen while antiquing....can't remember the price, but it was a "1930's" Wearever button fill in green - what they called "cracked ice" - very cool looking, but I know nothing about them, have no interest in fountain pens, and it was behind a locked glass door...

 

Yeah, it's probably okay but they get that a lot. Most of the SRP folk think much like we do - all razors in need of restoration are overpriced. Unless it's something wildly wonderful (Puma in excellent+ condition; Dubl Duck, likewise), I'd say $20 to $30 is pretty high for any used and in need of reconditioning straight. It'll be interesting to see what they say over there.

There was an SRP thread this week about the cultural morals involved in telling (or not) newbs that they'd overspent on a used straight. I think you'd get an honest response from many of them right now.
