What are you waiting on to arrive...?

That’s too bad on the brush. But good news on the aftershave!

For honey or maple syrup?

 

Well....


I need to get a 32% aqueous solution of calcium chloride CaCL2. Yes, you can mix it by weight and volume, but because sometimes the CACL2 can be finicky to get right.....
I'm not a chemist.
I've never wanted to use molar equivalent measurements.
I've never have good luck by just guessing or about the right cup and teaspoon thing.
I've never mixed it.
I use the solution for beer and cheese making.
It gets kinda expensive buying it premixed.
I'll use this hydrometer for other things too.

So that's about all.

So...
Part 2.

100g of water and 41g of my calcium chloride (CaCL2) came out to be 1.320 specific gravity Sg.
The Specific gravity of an aqueous solution of 1.322 is a 32% mixture, at 75°F.
I was shooting for 32% to 33% mixture.
My Specific gravity is 1.320, I'm good with that.

All the mixtures I've seen using grams, milliliter, cups, teaspoons and the like were off by a bunch.
Even though the CACL2 I am using is food grade, supposed to be pure, none of the so called formulas I found on line gave me this ratio.
The scientific papers I found always referenced Specific gravity vs percentage of solution in distilled water.
So that's what I did.
Now I can use this for dosing my concoctions with some confidence of proper measurements.

This was very inexpensive, so my curiosity took over. The OG Old Spice. Originally marketed to women.
Review to follow.

 

Those both look great-especially if the tobacco scent is on the mild side.

 

looking forward.

 

very cool.

 

on the way from an antique shop in Saskatoon..

shave bowl maybe,or soap container..any ideas?

 

Chamber pot ??????



I think not ...... too small

 

thank you for that fine input..never seen a wood bottom on a silver bowl..fancy plant pot?

 

I was leaning towards a planter. The wood bottom would require an inner pot to prevent rot.

 

could well be.my hopes of a vintage shave bowl are diminishing

 

on the way.
vintage canadian williams aqua velva new in box..had to do it..

 

Glass? Very nice!

 

they appear to be glass..hope so..approx 1994 -2000 date.
from wiki..

...Combe Incorporated began shipping Aqua Velva exclusively in plastic "Shatterproof" bottles on February 1, 2010. Previously, it had been packaged in glass bottles.The change was made reportedly at customer request, and the new plastic packaging contains the same product, with no changes in formulation.[7]

 

Good to know!

 

Waiting on a mystery razor in a group of shaving items ....... I have hopes.
